This item is listed as B grade. All items in the clearance may have defects (e.g. matte PVC, loose stitching, scuffs and scratches), and may not come in its original packaging.
Seconds, buckles re-glued.
The buckles are rock solid despite being a re-glue job, and the high neck sits sharp without digging in. PVC has a few faint marks if you squint, but for the clearance price it's a steal.
Honestly braced for the worst given the B grade, but the only issue I can find is a tiny scuff on one buckle you'd never notice unless you're hunting for it. The matte PVC has a cool, subtle sheen and the high neck fits snugly without digging in. For a clearance price, this feels like a steal.
The buckles needed a quick re-glue on arrival, but after that it's been a solid staple in my wardrobe for weeks. The high neck fits close without choking, and honestly for a B-grade clearance piece it looks way more polished than the price suggests.
