HH, the updated understanding why this appearance is as such is that the dying process does not penetrate through, so the undyed natural layer can be seen cross-sectionally. The outer side is sprayed & coated, which penetrates even less. Hence you get the stratum appearance

Also, this jacket somehow suspends in mid air....but that's just photoshopping.
I also need to add another cause of fading, also chemical in a sense, that is sun fading. Some dye in the color would fade with sun, even my russet roughout campus jacket got faded after sitting in the sun...
