Condition notes-

Excellent vintage condition with plenty of life and wear left. The fabric is in great condition with no notable indentions of wear. One of the epaulettes has become detached and would require restitching it down. The other epaulette is loosely attached at the same point. They could be removed at the buyers discretion -something Carolyn Bessette Kennedy chose to do with one of her coats (see reference photos).
