This item was purchased approximately 30 years ago from a vintage clothing store in Alexandria City, USA. It is in very good condition, and according to the shop owner who sourced it, it was a personal item of a German Navy non-commissioned officer. It has a Germanic and rich impression, with a timeless design from the U-boat era, and a simple yet European construction. Being a single-breasted design, it's not stiff, but the design still has a great atmosphere, which is appealing. It has all the original silver emblem buttons, which add to the overall feel. The color is a darker dark gray (traditional German gray) than the gray of a German Air Force bomber jacket. The liner was already missing at the time of purchase. Despite its simple construction, it has a European beauty, with the leather quality and button-adjustable back belt, and I have kept it carefully. The shoulders have gussets, allowing it to fit without being tight, so the silhouette is excellent. Due to rising prices, we plan to increase the price soon. As it is an old item, there are wrinkles, scuffs, and stains on the leather, so please refrain from purchasing if you are not used to vintage clothing or are overly sensitive. It was an important part of my collection, so please understand that I may decide not to sell it depending on the circumstances. Size: 50 (approx. L-XL) Made in Germany by ELM, Dark Gray Shoulder width 51cm, Body width 62cm, Sleeve length 63cm, Length 99cm
