FS: Swedish military dispatch riders jacket sz 40

[torfjord]

This is not an original but a repro by Hein Gericke. Only major difference to an original is the addition of handwarmer pockets. Apart from that, this is the same unique jacket and fit as the originals. Tag size is a European size 50 which is equivalent to a British/US size 40, but study the measurements. This could potentially fit someone much much larger than a size 40. But remember, this is made to layer in for winter riding conditions.

Made from thick and grainy leather which I believe is goat. Lining is probably some sort of coarse wool. This jacket is not meant to be worn with just a t-shirt.

Measurements:
P2P: 70 cm / 27.5"
Shoulders: 51 cm / 20"
Sleeves: 60 cm / 23.6"
Back: 59 cm / 23.25"

I got this in the summer of 22 and got it from a vintage store in Amsterdam. Got it for 200 € and that is what I'm asking for as well. You pay shipping to your location.

Damn that’s cool. So intentionally designed. It’s for dispatch…where you gonna put that dispatch? In the big pocket of course!

I have one of these from Hein Gericke and have had an original swedish one too. The handwarmers are a welcome addition and I found the quality on the Hein Gericke good even compared to the vintage one.

My Hein Gericke one is in cow leather (inspected it with a pocket microscope), not sure if there were different versions in goat, the original ones were goatskin though. But the leather is nice in any case, quite thick but supple.

All in all a very cool jacket!
