Fabulous condition. Wonderfully wearable. Velvet is fresh, strong and supple. Lining is intact and strong and supple. The only fault found was that a three- to four-inch length of part of the right lining underam seem has pulled apart, and a two- to three-inch section of the lining seam is coming loose near the upper-right portion of the front of the coat, near where it closes at the throat. Both are fixable with a simple mend, but the coat is still wearable as it is.
