I don't see any noticeable tears or scratches, but please understand that this is a used item. I was concerned about the fading, so I removed the oil once and dyed it black with dye, and then re-proofed it. The outside is clean, but the lining is a bit dark. I'm selling it with a heavy heart because I've outgrown it. P.S. Although not in the photos, the waist belt is also included.
