LBM 1911 Quality Question

I recently purchased an LBM jacket (56% linen, 44% cotton) from Yoox and noticed that there was a noticeable "pilling" on the shoulder. Upon further inspection there were many several other small ones that weren't really noticeable until I started looking for them. The larger one almost looks like a small tear, but it is resting above the surface of the jacket, instead of being a hole in the surface. I'm describing this because I'm certain there is some sort of name for it, but because I don't know it, I can't use it.

Should I exchange this jacket for another one? Is this a quality issue with the individual jacket or the company itself? Is this inherent to the material that is used? Will more of these form?

Thank you in advance
