L-2B : Anyone familiar with repros from Pherrow's?

It does look ok to me, and I do have a similar one from BR, so I wouldn't have to ask how it compares, but anyway:
someone knows if this is an accurate repro?

Fun to notice how the Japanese make their own interpretations:
Pherrow's is translated from Fellows and Buzz Rickson becomes Bazurikusonzu.

This is the description on Rakuten Intl:
"The Fellows will be USAF Furaitojakettorepurika L-2B. ♪ It is great with pants or jeans ☆ It is an attractive color scheme is a deep USED because it becomes goods, in the sense used show that the fuzz on the ribs on the center front and neckline, thin cuffs of both dirty. Point person who understands that you like in this occasion?"

I wonder how great it is without pants or jeans. Nice touch to have repro dirt on it too.

"Far better than Buzz Ricksons L-2B". I doubt it very much. The zippers don't look accurate for a start. From what I gather Pherrows are a second division Japanese repro maker. I've seen quite a few of their jackets advertised over the years and there's always something that looks not quite right about them.

By the looks of the epaulet and the pocket it appears they need to do some adjusting on their sewing machines.

Price-wise Pherrows are about the same as Buzz, which is a little surprising as from the couple I have handled I would say they are not of the same quality and don't have quite the same attention to detail. So I would say bid accordingly.
