I can tell you first hand, it does not look beat up at all. It looks like a new jacket with an evenly distressed surface, just like the screen-used CS jacket and the standard TN jackets. It looks great, but it's going to take real-world wearing to get some wrinkles and what-have-you.

This one has only been worn a few times. Notice that every fold is smooth, not a wrinkle in sight.

Yeah, I know. They must have pulled that baby out of a duffle bag or something and shot the photo immediately. Thankfully, I did me research first. Always wise. It's what I wanted, but not what everyone wants. ;) High quality jacket, though. I had my tailor modify the sleeve (I have stubby arms), and she was really impressed with it.
