Purchased at a domestic authorized retailer at the regular price and taken to the course only once. Since it has hardly been removed, I think there is little damage to the knit part. If you have any concerns, I will add more images, so please comment before purchasing. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as this is a used item. It will be a simple package with the included box covered in vinyl, so please be aware that the box may be crushed.
