Condition Guide
Aemcy Condition Guide
Every piece has lived a life before reaching you, so we describe its condition as honestly as we can. Each listing comes with a grade and a note on anything specific we noticed.
| Grade | What it means | What you might notice |
|---|---|---|
| Never Worn | A piece that was never worn, with or without its original tags. | Nothing, apart from possible light traces of storage. |
| Very Good | Lightly worn and extremely well looked after. | Very little: a faint mark or slight softening you would only see up close. |
| Good | Worn and cared for, with visible but moderate signs of its past. | Light pilling, minor fading, a small spot or light scratches on hardware. |
| Fair | Noticeable wear, flaws or repairs. Still wearable, and priced accordingly. | Visible marks, fading, pulled threads or a past repair, all shown in the photos. |
| Distressed | Significant damage. A piece for collecting, display, study or restoration more than for everyday wear. | Tears, heavy wear, missing parts or fragile fabric, described in full. |
Because our pieces are vintage and archive, light signs of age are part of their story. Anything beyond that is always shown in the photos and written in the description.
