The black base is somewhat faded with age.
It has wear on the collar and smudges along the edges.
Shown in photo E is also a smudged line on the left front.
In addition, kinkoma embroidery on the left front is partly detached (sorry it's not shown with photo).
There are some other flaws as well including the right armhole a little loosened.
