1940s German Horsehide Leather Coat - Large (44)

Built for hard weather and harder times, this 1940s German horsehide leather coat embodies durability, authority, and quiet power. Designed for both military and civilian use, these coats were often privately purchased by Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe officers, police officials, and government personnel—those who needed something not only functional but sharply distinguished. This wasn’t standard-issue. It was personal—chosen for its weight, resilience, and presence.

The horsehide is thick and structured, rich with tonal variation and decades of wear. Creases and surface markings reflect its long service life, whether on duty during wartime or repurposed in the postwar years. The signature V-seam across the back reinforces the silhouette, while the double-breasted front, belted waist, and adjustable cuffs speak to a practical yet refined design.

Professionally cleaned and conditioned, the leather remains supple without sacrificing its timeworn character. A small stitched repair in the lining is barely visible, and the coat overall holds strong—an honest, storied piece with all the presence of its era intact.
