Description: Vintage 1940s German Horsehide Leather Dispatch Rider’s Jacket - Size Small (38" Chest) This genuine WW2-era German dispatch rider’s jacket, crafted from premium horsehide leather, embodies the rugged style and functionality used by military couriers during the early 1940s. The horsehide leather has aged beautifully, acquiring a rich patina and now feeling butter-soft due to decades of wear. This unique piece is a collector's dream, perfect for those passionate about historical militaria or vintage leather outerwear. The jacket is equipped with the original “Zipp” front zipper, adorned with lightning bolts — a rare detail that predates and highlights the jacket’s authentic historical character. Key features include three zippered pockets for secure storage and two additional side pockets for easy access. Each feature has been meticulously restored and maintained to preserve its authentic charm and functionality. Condition and Restoration: Specialist restoration has ensured that this jacket is not only preserved but also ready for wear on special occasions. The leather has been expertly cleaned and conditioned, reviving its suppleness while maintaining its beautiful, vintage patina. The zipper has been refurbished and lubricated to ensure smooth operation, enhancing both the jacket’s look and usability. This piece is well-suited for either display in a historical collection or as a statement addition to a vintage wardrobe.
