I've been scrounging online sites to find a motorcycle jacket secondhand, and I stumbled upon this jacket. It's a Brooks Golden Label in a typical motorcycle style. The pricing seems to be quite good, but it looked somewhat worn. I thought I would just ask here before potentially pulling the trigger.
My worry is with places like the chest on picture #3. The right-center side of the picture just looks very wrinkled and pressed, almost like it is cracking. I'm not sure if that's what normal age would looks like on a Brooks jacket, or if its something to be more concerned about? The seller is not a professional seller, so it's also possible their photo lighting is not helping.
I buy a lot of things secondhand, so I'm not against wear and patina on a jacket. As far as I'm concerned, it adds more character. I don't want to end up purchasing a jacket that is worn to the point of being "distressed" or in poor condition. I think I'm probably overthinking this and the wear is not that bad, but when I look at the third picture, I can't help but think the jacket appears very cheap and poor quality.
