I previously purchased this on another site. I haven't had a chance to wear it, so I'm hoping someone else will like it... It's made in Japan, and the stitching seems to be sturdy. It has a back zipper. Measurements when laid flat: waist 33 cm, total length 73 cm. There appear to be no scratches or frays, but this is a personal inspection, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned.
