Thank you for viewing. I purchased this at a shop and wore it 3-4 times. I don't see any noticeable scratches or stains, and I think it's a great piece to break in. I believe this was a men's item, but it has a wonderful design that women can wear without any problems. The size is 31 inches, but in terms of feel, it's like: - A slightly loose M - A snug L Please check the photos for detailed size information.
