I used to dress my child in this when we went to Disneyland. It's been worn a few times. The fading on the thighs is part of the original damage processing, and there's a little bit of pilling on the Mickey Mouse hands attached to both pockets, which is the extent of the wear and tear. It's made of thin denim, so I had my child wear leggings underneath in the winter. The sides have snap buttons.
