Vintage 50s leather short model motorcycle jacket
This classic 1950s motorcycle jacket features a timeless short-cut design with several characteristic details, including a wide collar, multiple buttons on the front and small side adjustment straps on the back. It also has a beautiful orange inner lining and a decorative label from the Dutch brand Gelmok.
The jacket would still make a fantastic piece for riding a classic motorcycle, but it would also serve perfectly as a decorative item in a garage, workshop, or vintage inspired interior.
After more than 70 years, the jacket remains in good vintage condition, though it shows natural signs of age and wear. Over time the leather has developed a nicely faded patina, giving it a rugged and authentic character. The button on the upper left front is missing, as well as the left button that secures the collar in place. The leather has been carefully cleaned with saddle soap and treated with leather grease to keep it supple.
