Condition: very good used. Fabric is nicely broken in with even fade from the original pigment dye. Minor surface wear, small marks and patina on hardware consistent with age. No major stains, holes or repairs.
Measurements: see last photo (taken flat). Ask if you need any specific measurement in cm/inches.
Serious piece if you’re into nautical Polo, Rugby RL, modern Polo Country / Stadium, or just want a flag back that isn’t the usual stadium hoodie.
