1930s Swiss Army Moto Leather Overtrousers

Heavy leather motorcycle overtrousers, presumably of Swiss origin. The interior leather section is stamped 1933, with the number 85 repeated below—most likely indicating the size. Designed as a protective outer layer, they feature a wide silhouette, leather suspenders and open pocket slits providing access to the clothing underneath.

The dense, heavyweight leather has softened over time, developing a beautifully aged texture. Numerous scuffs, creases and traces of prolonged service are present throughout, while the overall condition remains good. Long metal Ri-Ri zippers run along both sides; one is finished with a leather pull tab stamped 85. The zippers may have been replaced or updated during the garment’s long period of use. Aged rivets, buckles and other metal fastenings remain throughout.

A rare utilitarian garment carrying nearly a century of history. Its exact military origin remains unconfirmed, although the construction and markings suggest European motorcycle equipment dating from the 1930s.

Please do not expect the garment to be new or in perfect condition; there may be minor defects (used clothing).
