Possible Spam/Fake jacket being advertised across FL

I think this is a Spam/Fake product. Especially at $80, almost nothing Carhartt makes is this price, and they do not do "flash sales"
Don't be deceived, I do not think this is legitimate:

This is crazy, in what world does a Carhartt steampunk sheepskin coat exists?
Its like trying to sell an Apple food processor or a Louis Vuitton lawnmower...
It doesn't make any sens!

Correct! In fact, an even more unlikely set of coats is showing up now from the same "outfitter"

I've seen this ad on Youtube and also people on Reddit asking where to find it as they couldn't at Carhartt's website.

It's an obvious **** for us, but it's targeting the fact that Carharrt has once again become a trendy fashionable brand, as it happened already back in the mid 2000s.

If it's too good to be true....

I have seen these lately too, and the picture looked very computer generated to me on top of not even remotely looking like anything Carhartt would ever make.

This guy took one for the team and it's exactly what I expected.

Cool video.
This "jacket" looks even worst than i would expect!
This is such an incredible piece of ****

The design is interesting in and of itself, wherever it's been knocked off from. Puts me in mind a bit of the coat Gosling wore in the Bladerunner sequel.

A useful reminder, of course, to be very careful about online ads. Unfortunately those are run on a platform architecture level and TFL has no control over what gets shown to members. We'd all prefer not to have ads, but they keep the lights on, so...

If you look up in the top right hand corner, those three little dots. Sometimes that has an option to report fake ads, though I couldn't honestly say I'd have a huge amount of faith in what difference that might make.

It sort of looks like they added extras to a " coat " from a Bane Halloween costume.
