(50s?) German Leather Jacket Sz 40

[Baron Kurtz]

Biting this many bullets will break your teeth. I advise against it. but here's the latest casualty of my clearout. i haven't had it for very long and it is just way too big for me. It is marked size 50 = US/UK size 40, and the measurements tend to say this is accurate. A lovely light orangey-brown with ZIPP zipper. The ZIPP itself is of a type produced mid-war but the jacket is probably later than that. The shoulders are padded and square as was the german way. The zip has 2 teeth missing at 2 separate places, but as you can see this does not affect the zipping up of the ZIPP. You can see one of the tooth-missing areas on the close-up of the zip-pull. Actual zipping is smooth with no difficult spots.

way too small for me, but it actually looks like a good fit on you? it doesnt look too big at all.

I choose my pictures carefully. Paddy can vouch for the fact that it's too big. (my chest, for example, is but 35". This jacket measures 44") eek.

A slim Asian fellow came into the store where I work this evening looking for a size 32 suit. Not surprisingly, we weren't able to help him.

Yes, the sizeist agenda of the clothing manufacturers continues apace

Hope you directed him to vintage!
