Thanks, if it bothered anyone I’m guessing a dab of russet coloured boot polish would fix the problem, there is no damage to the leather its simply a loss of colour, if I was to keep the jacket I would go the boot polish route most likely
Couple more photos had a question about the mark on the arm.
No idea on the history of this jacket appears to be lightly worn from new I’m not the original owner, if it was a couple sizes smaller would be a keeper very unique easy, lightweight and easy to wear jacket.
