This outerwear has a moderate thickness, making it suitable for early winter to mid-winter, and even early spring depending on the inner layers. The hood is removable. It's also quite cute! ◯ One of the hood's removal buttons came off, and I've replaced it with a button I had on hand. Please check the photo and understand before purchasing (photo 8). ◯ There is a stain on the underside of the left arm (the part that is not visible when the arm is down) (photo 7). Please also check this. ◯ There is a name written on the tag. I will either leave it as is or cut off the tag before shipping, as messing with it might make it messy. Please let me know your preference: to cut or not to cut the tag. It's not brand new, but I think it's still a perfectly wearable piece (^ ^)!
