Great vintage condition overall! The fabric remains crisp with strong, vibrant color retention. There are no major holes, tears, or stains, and the original Alpha Industries contract tag is completely intact.Note on cosmetic condition: Features a very minor surface abrasion/light scrape on the fabric weave on one of the tan camo sections (clearly shown in the final close-up photo). It is entirely cosmetic and does not affect the structural integrity or ruggedness of the jacket. All heavy-duty zippers and snaps work perfectly. (Internal insulation liner is not included).
