I bought this at least 30 years ago when I worked for a leather clothing company I cannot read the designer's name Never worn - I love it, but it will not fit me anymore Ties around the neck and back Wrap and tie waist that can be worn over the top or underneath Note: I am quite sure it is buckskin, so the coloration inside has differentiations These are not flaws, just part of the tanning process I believe it would be freshwater or saltwater safe, but I definitely would not wear it in a pool with chlorine Please let me know if you have any questions
