Hermine. Purchased at an authorized store during an overseas trip. I, as a novice, don't know the difference between the Japanese and overseas specifications. I've used it for two seasons, so there's some wear and tear, such as slight soiling around the collar, but I think it's in good condition and usable. However, since I've used it a fair amount, this is the price. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for something brand new, as it has been stored by a non-professional. Due to the high price of the item, returns are not accepted to prevent switching. If you have any concerns or would like additional photos, please ask before purchasing. Price is not negotiable.
