Original WW2 German Horsehide Leather Black Luftwaffe Motorcycle Jacket 38R
Original WW2 German Horsehide Leather Black Luftwaffe Motorcycle Jacket 38R. We have professionally renovated, reconditioned, cured and reproofed this coat at our dry cleaning facility and presented this historical German military leather garment in excellent vintage condition. The inner lining shows minimal wear with a couple of tiny tears, the jacket was in a bit of mess when we received it and covered in sand and was even inside the inner lining, this must have been used as a motorcycle jacket or is from the cockpit of a plane, either way I want to point this out because even though we have removed the majority of the sand there may still be some remaining within the lining that may come out very lightly but needs brushing off from time to time until it has been fully removed from the jackets inner lining. Please do not let this put you off as this jacket as this is simply amazing and has been restored to a pristine and immaculate condition.
The nostalgia behind these jackets is what makes them attractive. Born out of a time of necessity, and designed for a specific purpose - to function and protect under adverse and challenging conditions.
Since then they have become timeless classics, appealing to the rugged utilitarian image. The work undertaken on this garment is highly skilled and takes around 48 hrs to complete We only use the highest quality leather products available to the leather and tanning industry UK.
