Authentic! This is one of my fav jackets! It is still in really good/great shape with no issues. There is some pilling and the color is a darker cream. It is so warm in either super cold or just a little cold. It looks amazing with jeans or leggings! I love this jacket! Just need to make room! It is hard to find- get it before fall quickly comes! Owned by me only, pet free, smoke free, in my closet, not some warehouse or something.
