It's in excellent condition as it's only been worn once! It can be used for everyday wear and is also perfect for formal occasions. The pockets are for decoration. How about it for the coming season? I will fold it for shipping, so it's not a material that wrinkles easily, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about creases. Pattern/Design: Solid Color: Black Hood: No hood I am also selling it on other sites, so I may remove the listing.
