[Open question: What do one wear together with a jacket like this? [huh]

Its contemporary motorcycle, what else?
It is really a nice jacket and you are lucky that it fits you.
Very good stuff, Flieger.
Maybe jeans, chinos, "flieger"-scarf as you like it.
But if you get a steel helmet than it gets too authentic.
Great jacket, shows how good the leather working technique at those time was.
I saw a few shiny old coats in Hungary too, but most came in chocolate brown. In the war history museum they have also one exhibited.
It was the uniform of the "Lenin-boys" in 1919.
I think due to the black/white photos nobody can tell whether they were dark brown or black.
That's where such vintage pieces help.
However the long German uniform I saw in the museum was not a leather coat, it seemed to be made of rubber/synthetic. (Or at least the specimen exhibited there was not leather).
My grandpa told that in the early 1950's they imported hides from Mongolia to get these stiff shiny coats. It was popular among men, especially on the countryside but unfortunately also among ?ÅVH (equivalent of KGB) policemen who did wear them.
This jacket however looks very good, especially for its age!
