I purchased this coat recently. The following is the seller's description as well as some pictures. Let me know what you think!
Very rare WWII German officier's leather double breasted long great coat / overcoat / trenchcoat / in European size 52 and US size 42 reg.
Could be Wehrmacht or Luftwaffe.
I've had the coat professionally cleaned at significant cost and there is no foul musty smell. The leather and lining are clean and the coat is ready to wear.
56 cm armpit to armpit
49cm shoulders (straight across back)
62cm arm length (from top of shoulder to tip of sleeve)
130cm long (from top of collar to bottom of coat along the back)
Gray-blue leather is distressed and has great patina and grain showing. The pictures don't do justice to the grain and texture of the vintage leather. Judging by the weight it could be horsehide or heavy steerhide. The workmanship and quality is amazing and the jacket has many years of wear left in it.
Tag reads "Lederbekleidung, Tschache + co., Dresden-A"
No rips, tears, or holes in the leather. Leather is soft and pliable.
Lining feels like real silk and has a few minor worn spots but there are no rips or tears along the seams.
Description of details: Coat has dagger holder, attachement loop with strap closure to close the jacket, inside breast pockets and zipper pocket on the lower side, leather covered buttons attached through metal eyelets in the leather and held in place on the inside by thick metal wire covered by a leather piece (not just sewn on the leather, all orginal, sturdy, and all in place), snap bottons on the collar with ajustable storm flap, zig zag stitching on the collar and stitched collar stand, collar hook, faux belt with two buttons on the back, snap buttons on the back vent (all in place), a glove pocket opening on the left hand sleeve fold, two side slant pockets with flaps lined in dark grey moleskin cotton, shoulder epaulette / shoulderbord holders.
A rare and genuine WWII officer's greatcoat in wearable condition. This genuine item is not to be compared with the so called German officier's, Gestapo, SS coats in dark green leather that are often advertised but which are actually 1950's or 60's German police coats.

When and where does one wear something like that?
