Measuring, Detailing & Describing We do our best to describe our items accurately & thoroughly. If an item shows light wear, such as fray on the ankle cuffs, it will be specifically mentioned. We also make it a point to note special features such as pleating, factory distress, extra pockets, adjustable waistlines, etc. Most importantly, we provide accurate measurements. This is key to knowing if an item is right for you, since pre-owned clothing may be modified or worn-in in ways that are not reflected in the tag size. Be sure you know your measurements when shopping for clothing online - it can save you a lot of hassle! |
