1950s German Moto Faded Leather Jacket

1950s German motorcycle jacket featuring a sharply cropped silhouette, shaped biker sleeves, and heavy RUHR / RIES metal zippers typical of early European motorcycle wear. The braided leather shoulder details and red zipper trim give the piece an especially unique look.

The leather has aged beautifully, developing an incredible dry fade and natural patina throughout the sleeves, seams, and high-wear areas. The jacket was carefully washed and treated with moisturizing leather cream. All zippers remain functional, though some feel slightly stiff due to age. The lining is damaged around the underarms, consistent with decades of wear, while the outer leather still feels strong and visually striking.

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