Condition Rating

All items are graded using the same chart:

PERFECT:
As new, with or without tags

EXCELLENT:
Lightly or never worn, no flaws

VERY GOOD:
Worn but cared for, minimal noted flaws, needs no repair

GOOD:
Shows wear, noted minor flaws, light repair required or optional

FAIR:
Multi-noted flaws, needs repair or disguise - will not take repeated wear

POOR:
Damaged beyond repair or wear - Study piece only

It is a rare thing that I would describe anything as perfect - it has to be in exceptional condition, and even unworn with original tags still in place doesn´t guarantee that. I try to grade things on the side of caution! Mostly the items you find for sale here will be in the good to excellent range, only offering fair/poor items if I feel they are of real interest or use.

Each item is inspected very closely - This hopefully leaves little room for omissions. Any flaws found are then noted clearly in the description alongside the condition rating. I do try and note everything regardless of the effect on the item´s wearability, as I do want you to be making as informed a decision as possible before you buy!

Any notable flaws will always be photographed and that photograph included with the description. Minor flaws can always be photographed on request, just email if you wish to ´see´ anything in more detail.
