The vest was used for one season, and the jacket was used for two seasons. Due to the room lighting, the photos appear a bit dark, but the colors in the tag photos are the most accurate. The jacket was worn frequently, so it shows signs of use. If you understand that these are used items and don't mind, please consider purchasing. We live with a cat, so if you have allergies, are concerned about cat hair, or have any other concerns, please refrain from purchasing. Shipping will only be done on weekdays. Thank you.
