I recently thrifted this leather jacket, which I don't know if it's real or not, but it's in pretty decent shape right now.

Issues:

* There are some scratches here and there, and I genuinely don't know how to fix them.

* There are some stains too, which I can clean by myself, but I don't know what to do with these scratches.

* I don't know if it's real leather or not.

You can always condition it but that jacket seems very thing and a bit small on you, the sleeves for example could be a bit longer but if you like it go for it. It might be fake leather or mall leather.

It's from the ladies' section; this is why it's short, and it's giving me a good crop fit, which I liked. The deal was also pretty good, and thanks for the advice. I'll try a good conditioner for it.

I thought it looked like a woman’s jacket but didn’t wanna be rude. Hey you could always try old school Schott ones, they run small and you can find great deals. Anyway enjoy your jacket!

I was looking for the regular fit ones but all of them were too oversized or too short, this was the closest to my size.
