{"product_id":"vintage-1950s-jofama-goatskin-motorcycle-jacket-malung-sweden","title":"Vintage 1950s Jofama Goatskin Motorcycle Jacket, Malung Sweden","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA centre-zip goatskin motorcycle jacket produced by Skinn Specialisten of Malung, Sweden, most likely dating to the 1950s. Two original labels are present and intact: the Skinn Specialisten Malung retail label and the Akta Getskinn Garanteras guarantee label below it, confirming the hide as genuine goatskin. Malung is the historic centre of Swedish leather production, a town in Dalarna whose tanneries and leather workshops supplied the Swedish market for generations. A jacket bearing both labels and originating from that tradition is an uncommon find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe silhouette is a classic Swedish civilian motorcycle jacket of the period, close in construction to the military dispatch rider jackets that informed it. The centre front closes on a silver steel zip, the teeth original and the pull a period-matched chrome replacement fitted in the workshop. A horizontal chest yoke seam divides the upper and lower body panels. Two angled slash pockets sit at the lower front. The collar is a pointed shirt style, structured and well-shaped, sitting close to the neck. At the cuffs, original leather football buttons fasten the wrist, showing light wear consistent with the age of the jacket but present and intact. Belt buckle adjusters sit at each side of the hem, both original and functional, allowing the waist to be drawn in over heavier clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe hide is goatskin, confirmed by the Akta Getskinn label, and it presents with the character that long use draws out of good leather. The surface is a deep black-brown, with the natural base tone breaking through strongly at the shoulders, sleeve heads, collar edge and all points of movement and contact. In the more protected areas the original depth of colour and the open, slightly irregular grain of the goatskin remain clearly visible. The patina across this jacket is particularly strong, the kind that forms over decades of genuine use rather than artificial treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe interior is lined in a bold plaid flannel in navy, cream and rust, cotton or cotton blend, bright and well kept with only light wear consistent with the age of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition and Preservation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe jacket presents in very good condition for its age. The goatskin is structurally sound throughout, with the patina and surface variation an expression of the hide's history rather than any underlying weakness. All seams are secure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe zip functions smoothly with its matched replacement pull. The original leather football buttons at the cuffs are present and intact with light surface wear. Both hem buckle adjusters are present and functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe lining shows light wear consistent with age but is intact with no significant damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIt has been specialist leather cleaned and conditioned in the workshop, supporting the leather without altering its surface or patina.
