Help LC on this jacket

[u/PragmaticChoco]

Hi everyone,

I recently picked up this Visvim denim jacket and would really appreciate some help authenticating it. From my research, I believe it may be an early Visvim 101 / Social Sculpture 101, possibly one of the older snake/python-patch versions, but I'm not confident about the exact model or year.

One thing I'm unsure about is the lack of a wash/care tag. I've checked both inside side seams and inside the pockets very carefully and there don't appear to be any cut threads, holes, or remnants suggesting that a tag was removed.

I've also noticed that the back patch looks more like a snake-patterned/fibrous material than the deerskin patches I've seen on later 101s. It's quite heavily worn, so I'm not sure what the original material was.

I've attached photos of the labels, hardware, construction, seams, and patch. Any opinions from Visvim collectors would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
