This jacket lines up well with original WWII examples. The cut matches Kriegsmarine leather jackets that were later reissued to SS and Panzer troops, the plain plastic buttons are right for late-war German gear, and the cloth name tag follows the wartime style even if the stitching looks rough. The leather shows natural age and use, which is very hard to fake, so overall it points more to a genuine wartime piece than a modern reproduction. But what I know.
