Lewis Leathers detective work needed

[Madhouse27]

I recently received this pre-owned jacket that was advertised as a men’s Lewis Leathers sheep leather Cyclone. I’ve always thought that Lewis Leathers was a cool, iconic brand but I’ve never owned one and admittedly don’t know much about their various models. Looking at their website, the zippers on this jacket differ from the current Cyclone and there is also a lack of side adjusters and this one uses letter sizing (in this case L). I know they do some custom stuff and maybe models get tweaked a bit, but something seems a little fishy despite the otherwise high quality feel of the thing. Is there someone here that could sort out real or fake, men’s or women’s etc. Thanks here’s a few pics.

What exactly feels “fishy” to you? We have never come across a fake Lewis Leather, but it’s possible to move the LL tags (both the fabric and the leather logo) onto a different leather jacket to upsell the jacket.

Again, my eye is pretty untrained when it comes to Lewis Leathers but the lack of dangly zippers and the missing extra collar snap kind of stood out as potential red flags. Here‘s a current pic from the LL site.

I had thought Lewis used Lightning and Clix zips instead of YKK, but I could be way off. I’ve only owned one Lewis and it was ordered new in 2021.

This looks really dodgy, the stitch quality seems really bad. The logo patch seems way bigger than usual, the liner looks cheap, the tag looks different from the ones I've seen, which would be 2 separate ones. Also that fabric composition tag looks very dodgy too. Size L tag also seems fishy since I thought they only go by numbered sizing for their standard models, their collaborations and stuff can go alpha size but not this model I think.
