Overall very good vintage condition for its age. Light signs of wear and minor surface dirt consistent with use and age (see photos), with no major structural issues. There is slight separation to the hook-and-loop (Velcro) on one cuff, as shown in photos. Colors remain vibrant, patches are intact with little to no fading, and the jacket presents extremely well, especially considering it is over 30 years old.

This is a true collector’s piece that rarely surfaces in this condition, particularly in size Large. Ideal for archive collectors, TNF enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a museum-level outerwear statement.

Priced to reflect rarity and collector demand. Reasonable offers considered.

Will ship securely and insured in a box.
