Have had my ELC Luftwaffe / French cyclist jacket for a few years, quite an investment to start with but it still looks great & gets loads of wear..thus the cost to me was worth it. I tried cheaper versions prior to my ELC but moved them on because they didn't look or feel right to me.

I think Eastman make all their German styles in black or brown.
I ordered one of these about 18 years ago. No pleats in back and zips in the slash pockets as it looked very much like an old style British bike jacket from the 60s. Now of course we have Lewis back in town but to be honest, this looks better made. Apart from being a little 'off the shoulder' it is fine but I wont wear it on the Hayabusa.
