There is a tiny (pinhole size) hole on the lower front left. There is a bit of wear and a tiny (pinhole size) hole on the lower front right. There are some abrasions on the inner right sleeve. The back upper left has some wear. The back lower right has a couple tiny areas of wear and a pinhole.

A bit of discoloration which is visible in the photos. Minor shine on seat.The lining has some discoloration which is normal for suits this old - hardly an issue.
Flaws aside, this is a wearable suit with classic styling and made from gorgeous fabric. Some of the discolorations may come out with a professional cleaning.
