The images you provided are from a repro. Very difficult to find WWII shearling jackets in good shape. Not impossible, but NOT many around.

Here is the real deal.

It's hard to tell just with pictures and video, but it does look flimsy and thin to me. If you don't trust it and if the price is too good to be true, perhaps you want to pass up on it.

I believe he means original as in an authentic Schott, not as in an original B3 from the 30s-50s.

Normally, if you have any doubts in your mind, don’t pull the trigger.

Secondly, it’s in Pakistan, what do you expect? That’s where cheap repro gets made.

The fur looks too new and too white, the writing looks like it just got printed last week, the leather and the metal fasteners look cheap.
