My persian kitten has sparse coat. Is this normal?

Hi,

I just bought a 2,5 months old persian kitten from a backyard breeder, so it's without papers. The coat is long just like any other persian cat but it's rather sparse. You can see his skin if you run your hand through the coat. And the stomach area, you can see his skin there without doing anything. The breeder said the coat will improve as he gets older, is this true? Thank you.

Here's a pic. He looks fluffy, until you run your hand through his coat.

here are the pics of the patches that you can see when you split his coat:
