Vintage WW2 German Horsehide Leather Motorcycle Jacket - Large (44-46)

A military icon, crafted for endurance. This WWII German dispatch rider jacket is more than a garment—it’s a piece of living history, built for the men who braved the front lines on two wheels. Issued to motorcycle couriers navigating treacherous terrain in unpredictable weather, it blends wartime utility with timeless structure, delivering both protection and presence in equal measure.

Constructed from thick, weather-resistant horsehide, the jacket wears its age with pride—creased, worn, and softened into a rich, unmistakable patina. Reinforced seams and a strong double-breasted front give it a bold silhouette, while original WWII-era zippers speak directly to its provenance. Inside, a moleskin-lined interior provides warmth and comfort without sacrificing authenticity.

Professionally restored, the leather has been deep-cleaned and conditioned to preserve flexibility and grain without erasing its story. The original zippers have been carefully refurbished and lubricated, and the moleskin lining has been cleaned while retaining hand-stitched repairs at the neck—honest signs of a jacket that once served, and was worth preserving.
