Thank you for viewing. It has been worn a few times and shows signs of use. The black color looks a bit faded in the close-up photos, but the color in the overall photos is closer to the actual appearance. I believe there are no frays or stains, based on my own assessment. Please also take a look at the photos. I am offering this at a bargain price for those who understand that it is a used item. Returns are not accepted. I will answer any questions you may have before you purchase. Thank you for your consideration.
