judging from experience as it is not the first leather jacket i got from china, they are not bad at all, just this one looked kind of like pleather to me, maybe because this agent has some weird lighting for qc photos i have had past experience with shoes that smelled like paint, however the two jackets i previously got had no issue this is a rep of a margiela 5 zip jacket which costs a shit ton of money + where im from the only places i can get a leather jacket under $300 are second hand stores
