Condition report:

The collection appears to be in good used condition with no visible tears or structural damage. The dark brown jacket shows light surface creasing and minor scuffing to the edges (photo 2). The grey field coat exhibits general surface pilling and fuzzing consistent with the wool style fabric (photo 6). The distressed brown jacket features an intentional aged finish, with minor additional wear visible to the cuffs and hemline (photo 10). The internal linings of all three pieces appear intact with no significant staining or fraying visible (photos 4, 8, and 12).
