Rare, thick, Navy/U-boat leather jacket/deck jacket/short coat. This jacket is not only for collecting but also to be worn! The jacket is made of old, very thick, high-quality old German leather, it has minor signs of wear and tear and a unique contemporary patina. Another feature which should be mentioned is the beautiful brown leather colour. The inner lining is also in a very good condition. Such leather uniform jackets were worn by high-ranking officers of the Navy during the war. The quality of leather from the 40s and 50s differs greatly from the leather available in shops today. The leather is better, thicker, more robust and with hardly any wear. It is exactly these characteristics which give rise to the high popularity of old leather jackets and coats, their constant rise in value with collectors, and also what makes them quite rare.
