The color has faded nicely, and they're in excellent condition. There's no leather patch, but the painted stitching remains, giving them a great look. There are no thin spots in the fabric. The hem has been single-stitched. Please check the inseam length. They've been carefully washed, so there's no dirt, and you can use them as is. Thank you.
