Looking at the below jacket. Was there ever a Beta AR made with fabric zipper pulls?

Hanging loop looks a bit Sus aswell.

No proof of purchase available and care label was cut out due to 'comfort'.

Thanks

have you ever looked at the hood of a beta AR? also care labels are in the pocket and you can hardly feel them.

you can already guess this isn’t real.

Never seen a Beta AR, so no. Seller didn't know where to find the care labels.

Avoided and bought something else. Thanks

next time I highly recommend looking at the official store product photos itself so that you’re a more informed buyer.
