interesting that it has a "no name" spec nomenclature label, like the one that I have for sale.

Ghost stiching holes…
IMHO tag stitching and stiching holes look to sloppy for an Admirals jacket…

Extra stitching holes can be after older patch with lower rank, not bad jacket, have seen recently more interesting pieces for sale with a similar price tag

Sorry to disagree…
As an Admiral …he surely receives (d) a jacket with much better craftsmanship than this.
IHMO the jacket is legit.. the name plate is a later addition.. for a better sale… the tag rounded edges and the lousy ( two thread ) stitching plus the ghost stitching holes all over.. no go … especially for an Admiral…but again IMHO.

Buying any jacket which belonged to a high ranked dude without a solid provenience of origin is always risky
