Idk anything about this item? I found it exactly like you see it in a storage locker I purchased at auction. All's I did was brush off some cobwebs and some dust and made it look halfway presentable. I haven't touched it with any kind of cleaners or chemicals or anything like that and now I'm selling it. I don't know if the fade design is supposed to be like this if that's how it came. I don't know if somebody left it unfolded in the sunshine for 15 years. I really don't know anything about it. I do know that it's a very good looking jacket. It fits extremely well, nice and classy. I don't know if you like the color or not, but personally I think it's really neat. It's a very cool item. It's solid, no damages. All the buttons work great. Well, well made very very nice item in my opinion
