Original "Hartmann" style jacket

[Hawkeye]

I somehow doubt its an original Luftwaffe used jacket but its interesting nonetheless.

Just another German bike jacket, but is a decent size for a change. Shame about the repairs to the leather.

Quite nice actually but would you wear it with the breast eagle, genuine or not? Doesn't somehow look right though does it!
Many years ago my Dad gave me a white on black cloth Luftwaffe breast eagle that was genuine which somehow got lost but I've since often wondered if it was from such a jacket!!
Be interesting to see what it goes for.

Now I do know of a multi-Ebay identity seller in Germany who would love this jacket.

That's a nice jacket. Here's another 'is it or is it not' to ponder. Looks pure bike jacket to me.

Eclair zips suggests that it is French, so fits with that these jackets were procured locally in France by German pilots.
