So this past week, I bid on and won an ebay auction for a Willis and Geiger A2. It has a Scovill "gripper zipper", but I cannot get past the extremely light feel and the fact that the hang-loop and the tag is off-center. It "smells old" so it appears to be old. Why would someone fake a jacket from the 1980s that is/was not that expensive? I am not sure of the leather (or if it is truly leather for that matter), but I wanted to know your experiences and opinions. Is there a lightweight leather from the 1980s that would have a coating or otherwise appear similar to bonded leather? Could it be bonded leather? Could it be a fake?
Here is the link to the jacket. Thoughts and comments are welcome.
