I won a jacket on Ebay last week and just received it. It was described as follows:
RALPH LAUREN PURPLE LABEL
THIS IS A AUTHENTIC DESIGNER SPORTCOAT. ITS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. THE JACKET IS 42L. IT IS A NAVY BLUE AND 100% CASHMERE. THE JACKET IS 3-BUTTON.
I emailed the seller with a couple of questions regarding size, condition etc and received the following reply:
The length from the bottom of the collar is 32 1/2, the sleeve length is 25 1/2. It is a 3 button jacket. The jacket is in great shape, there aren't any stains, smells or pilling. I see 2 minor pulls (one on sleeve and one by the shoulder). It does say 42L. Thanks for your interest.
The pulls aren't that big a deal, but there is some serious wear to the lining of the interior pockets, as though the previous owner had clipped a pen inside the pocket. The jacket is also in serious need of dry-cleaning, not smelly, but obviously worn quite a bit since it was last cleaned with some droplets of crusty matter that I hope were food on the lapels and a sort of greasiness along the inside of the collar.
The jacket fits great and is otherwise as described. Is it worth trying to send it back or dispute it, or is this pretty normal for Ebay transactions? I usually only buy BNWT on Ebay, and this is the first time I have had a problem of this sort. Any advice would be appreciated.
