The jacket has (4) covered buttons in front, and (2) covered buttons in back. The jacket’s in nice sturdy condition, but the satin lining inside is fraying. His matching black wool vest is satin-lined, and has a satin inset in the back. The vest closes in front with (2) hook & eye closures. The wool’s in nice condition, but the satin in back is fraying. He’s also wearing a stiffened false front shirt and the matching cuffs. (white) The shirt front has some slight discoloration from rubbing against the black jacket. (not as bad as it looks in the photos) His ecru cotton undershirt is fraying. His original over-the-knee ecru stockings are in good shape, but could use a rinse. His black leather slip-on shoes are in good sturdy condition.
