"vintage Spiewak & sons A-2 leather flight jacket 44"

On ebay, bidding BIN $79..99. Is there something in this I'm missing? I'm not an expert, but, I've learned enough here to be puzzled by this offering.

It's because it's a post-war poor repro, check out those side pockets! Spiewak as a company continued after the war making clothing and this is an attempt to copy the WW2-style but pander to the modern desire for more comfort less authenticity, the price is a reflection of this.
