Extremely rare german horse hide jacket with detachable zip in kidney belt, no road rash, felt liner, quilted elbows, shoulders and skir, zipp zippers all work - the left chest pull on the zipper is detahced and lost... You can move the zipper all the way open or closed, on the photo I was just lazy and didnt push it all the way closed.. There is a tiny wear area belt this same zipper see pic. The leather is clean and supple with no scarring or rashes - a few tiny marks only not worth photographing - leather is thick and is most likely horse hide.
This was manufactured in PFORZHEIM germany for KLEIDUNG clothing - its age could be 1960s or earliest 70s... It could be earlier but the printed nylon ribbon tag makes me suspect it is 60s era - if you have more information on this company please contact me..
I was unable to find any other jackets while researching from this company... This is extremely well made, sturdy - with adjustable rear belt and the kidney belt is also adjustable. The item "MEDIUM 40 True Vtg HORSE HIDE LEATHER CRUISER BELTED MOTORCYCLE JACKET GERMANY" is in sale since Sunday, February 24, 2019.
