There are a few board burns, snags/bobbles, and the like throughout the sleeves and front of the body
Both sleeves show a large amount of pilling in the wrist areas
The right sleeve has a huge patched repair that is so big and strangely shaped it almost looks like a cutout on the elbow area of the sleeve

There are loose threads throughout in the lettering and numbering
