Excellent
No visible flaws, clean, no pilling or fading. The baseline benchmark for the brand's sold-price range.
Very Good
Minor wear — light pilling, very faint wash fade. Still clearly presentable; honest photos sell it.

Clearly pre-owned with visible wear. Disclose flaws upfront and photograph them — undisclosed flaws = returns.
Fair
Significant wear, fading, pilling, or minor flaws. Works for vintage buyers who prioritize the piece over the condition.
