There is a feeling of use, and there are scuffs and fraying of the threads. (Photos 3-4) The areas hidden in black in photos 5 and 6 have the name and school name written on them, so they will be painted black and shipped. I checked the product and found no other noticeable scratches or stains, but please judge the condition by looking at the actual photos. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous about used items. We will ship via Mercari delivery.
