Proudly sewn to the left breast of this gamer is the Captain’s “C”. The game wear on this dry-cleaned size 56 sweater consists of stick marks, board burns, un-repaired burn holes, a well-salted fight strap and heavy inner pilling. Worthy of mention is some tape residue, having been recently removed from a frame. A nice well-worn example, complete with Les Habitants letter of honor.
