I've uploaded close-up images of the zipper's top and other areas of concern. Please refer to the images for assessment. The color is red. (There is some blackening on the part that touches the neck. It might be dirt that can be removed by cleaning or a toothbrush.) There is a very thin line, possibly from a pencil or ballpoint pen, on the 7th image. I am also selling this on other sites. Priority will be given to the first person to purchase. No price reduction is possible.
