Hi everyone,
it's my first post here and as you can probably guess I know next to nothing about leather jackets. I was wondering if some of you guys who know a lot more than me could give your thoughts on if this jacket is a genuine Indian Motorcycles jacket or not.
For some context, I bought this jacket for roughly $200 off a third party reseller site. The seller said it was a repro of a popular 40s-50s square pocket style jacket. I only got suspicious when the name which popped up on the shipping tracking website was listed as 'ace exports', which is coincidentally the name of a leather garment maker in India. I got even more suspicious when the jacket arrived and it was in really good nick for a supposedly pre-owned jacket, it felt practically brand new aside from some very minor scuffing.
I've attached some images of the jacket and close-ups of the tags and zips, tell me what you think.
Thanks for your time
