Thank you for viewing. The boa liner can be removed and used as a vest. Although it hasn't been used often, there is some pilling due to the nature of the material. The jacket also has no noticeable stains, but there is a small white stain on the back of the left front placket. Please refer to photo 5. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as this is a used item inspected by an amateur and stored at home. Shipping will be compressed and in simple packaging.
