Purchased 2-3 years ago and worn 5-6 times. The surface is generally fuzzy. There are also pills at the seams of the armpits and sleeves. There are no noticeable stains or tears. I have a cat. I take great care to remove pet hair, but please refrain from purchasing if you have allergies or are concerned. Due to shipping costs, the item may be folded compactly for shipping. Please be aware of this beforehand.
