With basting threads. There are stains on the underarms and elsewhere. The black marks are not stains, but I think they are part of the fabric, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I may have overlooked something. It's very warm, so how about it for those in cold regions? It's an antique with a lovely fabric. I think it's wool fabric, but I can't say for sure. It's double-layered, and I think the size can be adjusted. Tied with a string. Sleeve length from center back: 68 cm Sleeve width: 34 cm Sleeve length: 49 cm Body width: 61 cm Length: 143 cm
