A two-piece marching band uniform — red wool jacket and black trousers with gold side stripes — that looks like it marched more than a few halftime shows before it landed here. The jacket has gold embroidered chevrons and a star on the left sleeve, brass buttons with crest insignia down the front, black shoulder epaulettes, and a white cord aiguillette that drapes across the chest. The trousers are black twill with a wide gold stripe down each outer leg. Sold as a set. Whether this ends up on a stage, at a party, or hanging on someone's wall is none of our business.

Condition
Fair — This set has seen real use. Jacket shows creasing and some areas of light wear. Gold embroidery is slightly dulled but intact. White cord is present but shows age. Trousers are clean but the fabric has light wear. All brass buttons present. No holes or tears. The wear is honest — it reads as something that was actually worn and used, not closet-stored.
