A German-made double-breasted motorcycle leather jacket, estimated from the 1930s.
A special arrival.
We present a rare German-made leather jacket for our shop.
Crafted for motorcycle riders, this jacket is distinguished by its three-dimensional construction, conceived with the rider in motion. A true motorcycle jacket.
It bears the double-breasted configuration—a detail of particular scarcity even among vintage pieces. The double-breasted specification alone elevates its value considerably, and prices have climbed steadily year upon year.
A clean, collarless neckline paired with four reverse-figure-eight zip pockets—details imbued with understated character and romance.
Years have softened the leather's surface, creating subtle colour variation and an atmosphere that cannot be manufactured. A pristine leather jacket certainly has its merits, but this degree of patina speaks to vintage authenticity in a way few pieces can.
Bold in design, precise in silhouette. German craftsmanship demonstrates a masterful restraint in the balance between these elements.
Many assume leather jackets are rigid and uncomfortable to wear. This example has already softened considerably over time, conforming naturally to the body. It has become remarkably supple and easy to live in, making it accessible even to those who typically find leather jackets demanding.
The lining is wool, offering warmth and comfort. Function matches form without compromise.
The proportions suit the Japanese frame exceptionally well—a golden size that will serve a range of builds.
We recommend wearing this piece at true size.
There is some marking and surface wear befitting its age, though nothing that compromises wearability. It remains entirely serviceable.
A German-made leather jacket of genuine rarity. For those drawn to jackets of character and substance, this is a singular piece worth consideration.
If you have been seeking such a piece, this warrants serious attention.
