Vintage 1930s Swedish Horsehide Leather Motorcycle Jacket- Medium (40-42)

Crafted in the late 1930s, this Swedish motorcycle jacket is a testament to the durability and function required by motorcyclists of the era. Made from vegetable-tanned horsehide, it was built to endure the challenging Scandinavian roads and harsh weather, worn by military dispatch riders and long-haul travellers alike. The jacket’s deep green patina and structured feel are a direct result of its years of service, highlighting its authenticity and craftsmanship.

Constructed from premium vegetable-tanned horsehide, the leather is naturally water-resistant and has developed a rich patina over time. The longer cut and belted waist offer wind protection, while the bi-fold action back panels enhance mobility, allowing for ease of movement on the bike. Two angled zippered chest pockets provide practical storage for essentials, with the heavy-duty period-correct zippers designed for reliability. Adjustable wrist straps with metal buckles complete the look, ensuring a snug fit at the cuffs.

The jacket has been carefully restored with professional cleaning, conditioning, and nourishment to preserve its suppleness and authenticity. The natural wear, including light scuffing and creases, further enhances its vintage appeal and reflects its long history on the road.
