This WWII German Wehrmacht goatskin leather trench coat is more than just a garment—it’s a direct link to one of the most significant periods of the 20th century. Crafted in the early 1940s, it was designed to serve the officers of the Wehrmacht during World War II. Worn by high-ranking officers, this coat became a symbol of authority, strength, and resilience, offering both protection and dignity in the harshest of conditions. The craftsmanship behind the coat reflects the precision and practicality of wartime German military design, made to endure the brutal realities of battle while maintaining the officer's composure and readiness.

Crafted from premium goatskin leather, this trench coat offers a perfect balance of durability and weight, making it ideal for officers who needed warmth, protection, and mobility in the toughest conditions.

The sharp tailoring, double-breasted front, and distinctive grey-green hue made this coat a hallmark of Wehrmacht uniforms, combining both functional and symbolic elements. This is not just a piece of history—it’s an authentic representation of the utility, authority, and craftsmanship that defined the WWII era.
