This is a fantastic, meticulously detailed replica born out of the fantasy MA-1 William Gibson wrote about for his character Cayce Pollard in the epic book Pattern Recognition.
Two small stains on the lower back, see pics. Otherwise in excellent condition, no other flaws. Last photo as worn on a 5’7” size 4, see size chart for dimensions.
