KL Jacket

[RuneUssing]

I am new to the forum so please do correct me I I’m using the threads wrong. I recently acquired a rather rare artifact, namely a KL inmates Jacket. Now pictures can only say so much, but I would greatly appreciate your opinions about the jacket. Both in themes of authenticity but also ethical, because I must confess I have quite ambivalent, mixed feelings about owning such an item.
To me the jacket itself looks genuine. The material seam to have faded over a long time, one of the slaves has been replaced, also it has a lot of small repairs done to it. The patina seems right to me, the material also. I’m more worried about the triangle. the stitching looks a bit too crudely done, or is this a good sign?
I obtained it from a seller that I understand has a good reputation.
Thanks in advance

Pictures will better speak for the jacket.
Post them. Consider that this type of items is one of the most faked.

I would say this is a Movie Prop Jacket from 60s. Considering the quality in what shape it is and how it is done. It is well made so everything is possible.

I should note that the colour lies a bit, at least on my monitor, the white isnt that bright, but have a bit more faded "cream" like apperence. The blue is the same. One of the sleves has been replaced, and cloth dosent quite match.

Also i think the meterial looks right compared with other KL jacket of Hbt cloth, that ive seen.

Ive heard though that some of them could be converted german hospital clothing. is this possible?

To me it looks convincing...style, pattern construction materials etc...

Jacket itself is believable.
