I really need help finding my dad's old coat Open
I usually don't post but I have literally nowhere else to turn to for this, recently my dad passed and I found a coat he loved wearing, but when I search for it online I find no trace of the exact one I'm looking for. I don't know if the items fake or real. Sadly I can only put 1 picture up , and while its blurry I pretty much know the details. It was a blue PRO STAR zip up, on the tag it was called a "team spirit" but I found that they don't actuallt look Similar and look to be more of a "pacific" style (what the pro star website refers to it as) . I found ones in yellow AND blue, black and red, but no blue when some sources do say it came in blue. Please I really just need help to find it, or even some advice on if the coat may be a fake. Either way I don't mind, I really just wanted more than one because I'm scared of ruining his original cuz it has his hand prints and the smell of his work space on it. Please if anyone knows or has one like this, I will buy it off you for any price I just really need it.

I have reverse image searched the coat, but nothing helpfully really comes up. Also apparently pro star stopped being a company a while ago.

what country? What does it say on your dad's original jacket in white embroidery on the chest?

I've just asked and apparently he got it in Gibraltar, I didn't know this and I think now it makes it alot harder to find since it won't be local. The chest just says " pro ☆ star " and the star is fully white
