It is in gently pre-loved vintage condition. There is slight yellowing as shown in the photos and there is age/use wear on the back as shown in the photos.
Historical Note: Chicago holds a foundational place in the history of the leather and bear subcultures, most notably as the home of the International Mr. Leather (IML) competition, which began in 1979.

A Note on Vintage Condition & Photography: Most items I sell are vintage and pre-loved as is this listing. Please review all photos closely, as they are important as a visual extension of the description. To keep their historical integrity, pieces are sold in that pre-owned condition and remain unpolished. Photos are taken close-up under bright studio lighting to highlight detail, which can make items appear larger than life and cause slight color variations depending on your monitor.
Ships quickly from a pet-free and smoke-free home.
If you have any questions or would like additional photos, please let me know.
Thank you for your time.
