Haruf Jackets: any knowledge and wisdom from the FL?

[Mote1]

Hi all,
In my searches for a good Horshide jacket, I keep running into Haruf jackets... here's one Ebay ad for example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/4052347262...=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20240926142013&segname=11304

I don't see those discussed here (unless my search function is bad)- does anybody have any knowledge about them? the price point is promising, but I'm wandering if it's too good to be true...
Thanks!

Seems like a mall brand from Japan. Could be okay (their department store level stuff is generally much nicer than ours) but I wouldn't treat it as some kind of premium import good.

Yes, it's a Japanese brand, they've been making leather goods since 2008
