i think he means 9/10 because 90% of the jacket doesn't have big holes in it.

a car without a transmission is not gonna function. this is more akin to a car missing the primer and coats of paint. if it were missing a means of fastening the front then i would say it's like a car without transmission ...

So it is more like a car w/o a back window or door? I think the hole is pretty noticeable, it's not like it is hidden by the armpits or under a collar.

haha ok so I may have exaggerated a bit. Still shouldn't be listed at 9/10.

Well the on
Reason shuns gave the pic cuz he know his ass was gonna get hot with an item not as described claim. Same thong happened to me....I bought an obscure leather that was "mint" and it has several cm size holes **** that...I ink the higher priced items have more risk when buying used..

that notebook is cool. (not to mention styling a Viking in a ******* wholecut leather jacket with a swishy minidress underneath while still looking like a badass out to eat children being something on its own)
