This jacket entails an unbelievable piece of history, its such an incredible vintage piece. It is used and worn with an overall distressed appearance. It has wear spots, holes, stains throughout, and zipper pull tab is off and is zip tied to the hanging loop. There are quite a few holes right around the wrist cuffs. The zipper pull tab with leather pull was found in one of the pockets. It appears as though the buttons were the primary method of closure. There is a stitching repair where the bottom button loop ripped out, and there is rusty staples over the stitching. Having said this, a lot of character is added when considering the true value for an authentic jacket like this. This is the warmest and most stylish parka Ive ever owned, and is now available to add to your collection. Please carefully examine all pictures on a full size screen prior to purchasing. This jacket has no smoke smell or musty odors in my opinion. First created for the U.
