Negligent with little detail
I don’t think it’s recommended to buy from them online — just like the other bad reviews too. When it arrived, a section of the jacket was ‘stained’ with dust, which was definitely not the cardboard box’s fault. One finger swipe couldn’t get it off. This can be a simple fix, but it shows that they’re quite careless and negligent with it.
