Condition:
It's a vintage item, but it has little wear and tear, so those who like vintage clothing will probably consider it a beautiful item.

This is a U.S. Navy issue item, a GOB sweater from the 1970s, worn by Navy sailors during deck work. Due to its use for work, it often had damage. Also, it was intended to be worn snugly like underwear to keep warm, so large sizes like this XL in good condition are rare. Even if you occasionally find an XL, most have shrunk due to wear and washing, so it's rare to find one that retains its original size like this one. As you can see from the mil-spec tag, the letters are clear and haven't faded. The silhouette itself is a mock neck, a good shape that still works today. The hem ribbing is tight, and the shape when worn is outstanding. Folding the sleeve ribbing in two can be a nice accent. I think there are people looking for a larger size to wear loosely. Please consider it☆
