I live in southern Canada and these parkas are too warm for most of winter. Unless you live in Alaska, or spend a lot of time in the mountains or spend hours outside schlepping around the prairies in January, these parkas will be too warm for you (unless you want to wear only a t-shirt...
Dude, you're in the wrong forum for views like that!
I agree with you, though. Lots of these vintage leather jackets look bland and don't quite translate to the modern day.
Speaking seriously, I would be bothered by that fold and would return it. I have kind of a hunch, so I need shoulders to be 'clean' so that my bad posture isn't emphasized. Others may not mind. However, in terms of authenticity... these jackets were churned out by the thousands over three...

Here's something I posted in the big "overcoat" thread. A friend of mine has successfully washed his Brooks Brother camel hair polo coat a few times. It's not the same as a duffle coat, but it's a very expensive coat and not the sort of thing you'd want to roll-the-dice with! You certainly don't...
It's worth pointing out that some people like these types of jackets snug, and other like them with a bit of room.
EDIT: I should expand on that, basically the point is that asking people for fit into is fraught with danger, since some people are 6' and wear a 44 that's snug because they like a...
