Property from the Estate of Jacqueline Leeds, New York, New York

Condition:

The overall condition is good though the jacket has some pilling along each shoulder, under each arm and side seam, and hips with a more noticeable pulled yarn on the left sleeve cap. The lining has some darkened soiled spots in the waist on each side of the opening near the facing. There are some small dark spots on the front left lining at knee level, and the hem lining has several darkened soiled spots the entire length with heavier pilling to the outer layer. the red leather trim is lightly darkened from wear on the lapels, waist, and sleeve cuffs. The shirt back waist band has been extended and appears to have been altered in other ways and the lining is starting to detach from the center back zipper closure. The leather trim has darkened slightly throughout the top waist band, pockets, and bottom hemline but is intact. There is some light pilling on each hip.

Everything is sold 'As Is’. The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use.
