MINT: Apparently never worn, with very few signs of aging.
EXCELLENT:Almost like new, little or no repairs needed. Wearable as purchased.
GREAT:Slight wear, a small repairs needed, like a button replacement. Item has been mended well. Wearable as purchased.
I generally do not sell items that fall below the "great" standard...if I do it is sold on eBay under "as found" or "as is" condition.
All my items , when purchased, should be ready to wear as soon as you take them out of the package.
