On that white jacket, probably the leather is digested by fungus, you cant really see it until brown spots appear on white or other pale colors, we can immediately see earliest sign of molding on black or darker leather and take action.

Oh no! It is such a beautiful jacket and those tears in the leather. Skin on Skinz in SF did a good job on a repair to a pair of my Langlitz pants. They had a hole in the leg when I bought them. Maybe something nibbled on them while they were in storage?

It does seem like something catastrophic can happen to leather that is not stored properly. It cracks and then tears easily. Is it what people seem to refer to as rot?
I wish I knew the answer
