Sweater appears to have very minimal wear, all resulting from long term storage. There are a handful of areas that have been darned, notably both shoulders where a hanger rubbed through and along the right side. Also of note is a faint yellowing along the right side and a small area on the left side. I made attempts to clean these areas by hand but with only minimal improvement. This yellowing is a result of oxidation that occurs when garments are stored long term in a non climate controlled environment, exposed to open air. Fortunately, being along the sides these areas are not obvious when worn. Cardigan is otherwise nearly pristine! Structurally sound and presents beautifully!
