A German-made double-breasted motorcycle leather jacket, estimated from the 1940s.
A special arrival.
We present a rare German-made motorcycle jacket—an uncommon find in our shop.
Built for riders, the motorcycle jacket is defined by its three-dimensional construction, tailored to accommodate the posture of someone on a bike.
This piece features the double-breasted configuration—a particularly scarce detail among vintage examples. The mere presence of double-breasted styling elevates its value considerably, with prices climbing year after year.
A substantial, tailored collar commands attention. Large walnut buttons on the front, designed to be operated while wearing gloves. Four flap pockets with exposed button hardware—details that speak of uncompromising masculine purpose and romance.
The silhouette is notably refined, hugging the body from underarm to hem with a shaped, deliberate cut.
When worn at true size, the way it clings to the body reminds you, unmistakably, that this jacket was made for a rider.
Bold in design, precise in silhouette. German engineering shows its mastery in this balance—the restraint and decisiveness are equally masterful.
A "masculine leather jacket" through and through—a piece thoroughly saturated with the romance of purposeful craft.
Many assume leather jackets are rigid and difficult to wear, but this one has already softened considerably.
The leather has become supple and skin-friendly, making it surprisingly wearable. Those who have hesitated over stiff hide will find no obstacle here.
Equally suited to town wear as a fashion item or to its original purpose—the open road on two wheels.
No size tag is visible, though it appears to correspond with a Japanese size S.
Actual measurements confirm a compact fit. Those of smaller stature will find it well-proportioned.
We recommend wearing it at true size, as a motorcycle jacket should be worn.
Surface wear, abrasion marks, and minor loose threads are present—the expected patina of time.
Yet for its era, the condition is quite sound. No damage that would hinder wear, and it remains fully wearable.
Highly regarded both domestically and internationally, German motorcycle leather jackets represent a singular class.
For those drawn to uncompromising masculine craft, this is a piece we warmly recommend—truly one of a kind.
Such a piece seldom passes through our shop. If you have been searching, this may be the moment.
