I've found a nice late '70s cafe racer style jacket made by this German brand. It seems a quite good jacket but i don't know anything about this brand, and i'd like to learn something about before buying it. Does anybody know anything?

Thank you in advance.

Not much is to be known about Wilhelm Krawehl. They were making racing leather jackets and suits around that time, and they did a good job at it. :) Nice quality jackets but in my opinion, not on par with Harro. Then again, rarely anything here could compete with them, in those days. Yeah, that includes LL.

This is the late 50's model of Harro MC jacket.

But yeah Wilhelm Krawehl is good stuff. Some truly excellent jackets of unsurpassed quality used to be made in Germany.

Thank you very much Monitor!!
So the WK is not a bad jacket...but the Harro you suggested are awesome!! I did some web searches and they did really good stuff! I found a lot of interesting models! My '90 Perfecto 618 will always be my favourite but i'd like to have a cafè racer style too, just to have something different. And those German jackets are really cool, they have that style that reminds me the first Mad Max.
