Condition: There is light discoloration on both shoulders and one minuscule pin-size nibble spot on front lapel. You can zoom in to see how small it is (not visible, truly) and the discoloration is not very unnoticeable at all when worn (see close-up photos). There are also some visible stitch details on the sleeve from where the tailor put in the lining (original and in no way detracting). In wonderful condition for a 75 year old wool garment. In overall very good condition.

THE STORY BEHIND OUR CHOICE
Where to begin. Well, for starters, this is one of my absolute favorite color combinations. AND THAT POINTY FRONT HEM!!!!!!! The tailoring on this is exquisite, a real testament to the quality of the garments from this period being made in old Hollywood. And this is an original design so I'm pretty confident this may truly be the only one of its kind in existence (if you've seen this design anywhere, please email me). This is the kind of inspiring piece that designers dream of.
Oh, and let's not overlook that peter-pan collar and those wide sleeves (gasp!). Yes there is light discoloration at the shoulders but this is barely noticeable when worn. I honestly didn't even see it until I went out into the bright daylight and looked very closely.
A real dream piece for a lucky gal.
MEASUREMENTS
All measurements are taken with the item laying flat. The measurements given are of the clothing and you should account for comfort when comparing measurements. We strongly suggest you compare the measurements in the listing with those of a garment you already own that has a similar cut and fits you well. This will give you the best idea of how a garment will fit.
We always try to get the most accurate measurements, but depending on the cut of the garment, approximations may be made. Our modern size estimates are just that, estimates, so please make sure to measure as we have described above as this will ensure the appropriate fit. If you have any questions regarding fit, please contact us. These approximate modern size equivalents should not take precedence over actual measurements.

CONDITION CHART
Deadstock: Item has never been in circulation and is brand new. Most times the items still have their original tags attached but sometimes they are no longer present. Super rare & special.
Mint: Not a single flaw to note. Pristine, no signs of wear at all, most likely unworn. Very rare...a real gem.
Near mint: Appears to be in new condition and never used. On super-close inspection, one or two barely detectable signs of wear remind us it’s not new, and was probably used only once or twice.
Excellent: Item shows only the slightest signs of wear, typical from occasional use. No major flaws to note.
Very good: A few minor surface flaws. Imperfections do not affect wear and overall presentation.
Good: Minor flaws, some noticeable when worn, but easily overlooked. Structurally sound and wearable.
As-Is: Not wearable but wonderful for repurposing, study or inspiration.
