WWII German Wehrmacht Officer's Goatskin Leather Trenchcoat (XL-46)

From the battlefields of WWII to your collection—this authentic Wehrmacht officer's goatskin leather trench coat stands as a tangible link to military history. Unmistakable in its commanding presence and distinctive silhouette, this exceptional example showcases the legendary German attention to functional design that defined military outerwear of the era.

The goatskin leather, selected specifically for officer-grade garments has developed a character-rich patina over decades that simply cannot be replicated. Each crease and subtle mark tells the story of its journey through time, now carefully preserved through our signature restoration process.

What sets this particular Ledermantel apart is its ingenious dual-belt system, featuring both the external belt with distinctive metal ring closure and the specialised internal body belt—a sophisticated insulation solution that created a microclimate between leather and body during harsh field operations. The original moleskin lining remains intact, demonstrating the superior material selection that distinguished officer garments from standard issue.

The definitive "D" stamp confirms this coat's official military provenance and manufacture to exacting Wehrmacht specifications. Original military acceptance markings remain visible on the interior pocket lining—a crucial detail for collectors and further evidence of this garment's authentic Wehrmacht provenance. These factory stamps were typical of officially commissioned military garments during the period and add significant value to this historical piece. Despite eight decades since production, the leather retains remarkable resilience while displaying the natural aging that authenticates its wartime heritage.
