Tough call on this jacket...its not smooth cotton ( at least dosnt appear) and not hbt..could't tell for sure without holding in hand as Robert says.would need to see more of interior "bleed through"..it almost looks distressed ..look at the eyelet(metal) which looks rather fine condition.maybe im nitpicking.

Or maybe you aren't in fact... Thanks for the help everyone... These are indeed very dangerous to buy based on pictures only

Gerd, in my honest opinion this is one I don't like so much. I have seen very good copies and they looked very well except for the camouflage pattern. This one has the same characteristics. It's very hard to give a final judgement from some digital pictures, but I have a bad feeling about this one.
