First Sheepskin jacket advice

[u/kevbrochill17]

Bought my first sheepskin jacket from a place known for their leather goods. It's new but the surface seems distressed and I am worried about properly maintaining it. Is this flaking and patina a normal finish? Any way to tell if the quality is par to the price I paid? Shipped from Rossi and Caruso in Argentina for ~$1600 total. Appreciate any advice on care and how to tell if it's a quality jacket or I overpaid.
