Reads to me like someone selling a jacket "the same as" one worn by Dean, as opposed to claiming it to be the *actual* jacket. Poorly worded, but I don't think there is any dishonest intent here. Surely if they was they'd be looking a *lot* more than fifty bucks shy of a grand.

No, it says "James Dean worn." He is actually claiming that James Dean wore this jacket. Amazing.

And his bona fides are a bit weak:

"Bill Hickman, with photographer Sanford Roth in the passenger seat, was driving the station wagon and trailer a short distance behind Dean on the day of his fatal accident, and was the first person on the scene. As legend would have it, Hickman rescued the jacket from the car after the wreck, preventing it from being lost or stolen. The Sportclad jacket was featured at Heritage auction galleries." [Emphasis added]
