I am not a Dodgers collector but was offered a Lofton jersey to add to my Lofton collection and had some issues with the jersey as I unfortunately believe it to be a retail authentic.
First most of the examples of Dodgers road jerseys from 2006 that were sold at auction included a year flag tag which this jersey does not have. Second, the buttons on this jersey are blue which appear to be consistent with a retail jersey. A brief review of getty images seemed to confirm this.
However, the wash tag is the appropriate code and appears sewn into the seam. I am left with the conclusion that this is a retail authentic jersey but was hoping any Dodgers experts can offer further insight as well as thoughts/explanation for the wash tag code.
Below are some images provided by the seller who purchased the jersey at auction a few years ago.
