There's TOO MANY fake made lately, especially this month. I saw four or five fakes on ebay this month. I don't own the original jacket (in my dream) nor fake ones so I can't really offer any much of reference. Articles originally scanned by filupe. Fakes are easy to spot: Most of fakes were made out of original ERDL jacket. So you would notice stitching ghost of pockets being removed. Sometimes you would even spot ghost of name tapes.
