I got a suit i ordered a few weeks ago on ebay.

Its supposed to be new. It appears new, other than the fact for a some frayed stitching. It is a linen suit and some of the stitching is pulled or bumped out a little. I am not sure if i am explaining is right. If you are unclear about what i am saying i can take some photos.

So my question is.... is this a style for linen suits? Or should i send the jacket back?

It depends. If it's one of those linen suits that are meant to be worn casually (like the opening ceremony x uniqlo one), then you might see some fraying and the like. The "bumping", however is natural with linen clothing.
