Excellent vintage condition overall. Fabric remains crisp and appears to have seen little use. The pale blue/blue-gray background shows age-related fading and color variation, with some areas retaining more blue than others. Large sewn-on metallic embroidered “Ride to Live / Live to Ride” winged skull patch remains bright and striking. Mild musty/storage odor from long-term storage. Has not been laundered by seller. Please review all photos closely for exact condition.
