I purchased this from an authorized retailer about 7 years ago. It's been passed down through two children, but miraculously, there are no stains, and I think the condition is quite good. If I had to say, the buttons and metal parts show some signs of wear. If it hadn't been outgrown, I'd still want to have my child wear it; both my child and I loved it. It can be worn year-round, with short sleeves, a sweatshirt, or even with leggings or tights underneath!
