@Mandarin @Jin431 Funny story to come.
I've shared the link of your former/current black Engelbert Vanek with the seller (located in Berlin) of the two 50's leather jackets telling him that the leather of the black one is very similar to the Vanek. He has just answered as follows: "This is crazy! This used to be my Engelbert Vanek (noticed it from the side adjusters) which I sold to a guy from France about 3 years ago as it was too short for me" :D Little world!
Man, it really is haha that guy should get on here in the lounge. He seems to have a great collection of German leather jackets!

Small world indeed! As a matter of fact, the seller is very consistent in his choice of jackets.

Jmax, what's behind the decorative stitching on the chest, one encircling the coin pocket? Is the chest pocket leather lined?

My jacket is in storage so I can’t check to see if the “d” pocket is leather lined. I honestly don’t remember right now. There is a interior pocket too. (See pic- lapel snaps up high). Same though, I need to check to see exactly what is going on. Glad I could provide absolutely no help lol.
