1950s Haelson Motorcycle Jacket - Small (38-40)

A rare expression of post-war utility and style, this vintage Haelson motorcycle jacket captures the grit and elegance of German craftsmanship in the late 1940s to early 1950s. Designed for motorcyclists, pilots, and dispatch riders, it balances durability with design—built to perform, but impossible to ignore.

Cut from mid-weight horsehide in a deep, weathered green, the leather carries a natural patina that tells its own story. The asymmetrical front zip gives it a sharp, aggressive edge, while the original moleskin lining remains intact and in excellent condition. A Western-style yoke across the back adds subtle flair, and the green leather-covered belt buckle brings a rare detail not often seen.

Professionally cleaned and conditioned, the jacket’s structure is strong and the leather remains supple. The original Haelson label is still present, and minor wear on the lining only adds to its authenticity. A standout piece for collectors or riders who appreciate heritage gear with character and soul.
