My new leather jacket - Real McCoys Rough Out trucker

Dear members, I’ve been looking around here for a while and this forum has provided me a lot of valuable information, thank you.

I recently purchased a splendid rough out trucker jacket by Joe mccoy’s, a Japanese high quality company. I’m 160lbs and 5.9 feet and the 38 size is nice, fitted but with enough room to wear a thin layer underneath.
The jacket was new so still feels a little stiff, needs to be broken in.

I’m a little concerned by what appears to be a cut or a skin flaw on the front. I’m trying my best to show you pictures of it but black suede ain’t easy to capture. (Photos attached)

In the back, the skin (unlined so I see the back side of the skin inside the jacket) forms a circular grain pattern.
In this area, the skin feels thinner, almost fragile. Could it tear eventually?

Should I let it be? Should I diy something? Like a patch or shaving the hanging flap of leather in the rough side. Take it to a leather specialist?

Advices are welcome, I really love this jacket and would like to keep it nice and strong without worrying too much about it tearing. It’s leather after all, would like it to age nicely I don’t mind minor scratches and stains either.
