I received a beautiful item on this site. I wore it for one season last winter. I washed it about twice, so the pattern on the surface has come off, but I think it's still usable. The seams on the inside are slightly black. There are no other noticeable stains, but I couldn't take good photos. (^.^) Since the inside is boa, I recommend a size larger. If you wear fluffy socks, it's safer to go for an even larger size. I will ship it via Yu-Packet Plus. A new one was sold on Amazon for 3380 yen.
