Condition:      Jacket is in generally good condition although there is fraying to the rank lace on one side and the back is covered in small food/drink spots. These may clean out but are not overly noticeable until viewed close up. There are some light food marks on one arm but these will sponge out. Waistcoat has dark marks/stains near buttons. Similar dark but not especially noticeable food/drink marks on legs of trousers. Uniform has little wear and no damage, would benefit from a dry clean to reduce the marks.
