Sheepskin fibers penetrating hyde

New Aero irvin. The shearling is penetrating the jacket skin making the outside skin look fuzzy everywhere. Some of these tiny fibers can be pulled out other curly ones are tight. Literally thousands of fuzzy bits. Is this typical for Irvin ore war jackets? Does it go away? It does not brush off. Rubbing produces more fibers surfacing.

Sending it back so they can take a closer look. They said it has rarely happened in a few places. Never an entire jacket. This condition covered the entire jacket. It did not brush off. Some fibers could be pulled out easily. Others are deeply rooted and lifted the skin when tugged on.
I am ordering the same jacket in Russet with Russet Vicenza trim. About 2" shorter in the body. The fuzzy jacket pics are posted at ladies Irvin fit check.

The leather must've been skived too thin. I never imagined this is even possible as the outside surface of a shearling jacket is simply the inside of the leather panel.

Certainly never seen that before.
Good luck, it's too bad but yes I agree something is off here.
