About a size 38 (I think).

quite a short one... 23.5" sleeve, 27" back.

Too military for my taste. The inside pockets look unusual for German tailoring, more British or American. I think it is rather unusual for a German jacket to be a 3 roll 2, isn't it? Also, note the belt. Only the ends are attached.

 

[herringbonekid]

the back belt attached at the ends seems to be a common German detail. they have two others with this same feature.

Everything is typical for a German jacket. Except that it is a flapped four pocket jacket, it is identical to mine.
The 3-2 lapel roll was not that unusual and can be done by ironing depending on the inlay.

I think the more common inside pocket treatment would be like this:

My impression so far was that German 3 button jackets had usually a flat pressed lapel similar to many British suits and that the 3 roll 2 was more common for US suits.

The loose belt is typical for German sports jackets, I agree.

I noticed the inner pocket style was different to the style I expected to see in a German jacket. The other two belt backs they are selling have the inner pocket style as shown above by Rudie.

Out of interest: Fastuni - What style are the inner pockets on your jacket?

HBK: Have you seen the black rubber raincoats they are selling? Are they the type you are looking for?

Here's the link to the black rubber coat.

The interior pockets are "piped", just as on the specimen in the first pose. I have seen plenty German jackets with most different interior pocket treatment. Fabric piped, lining piped, cut inside the lining, fabric tongue etc. The latter certainly is the most elegant, but the other variants are not seldom.

These Klepper raincoats are grey BTW.

TT, yes, they all seem to be too big.... and grey (thanks Fastuni).

They looked black on my screen at home - I can now see they as grey on my work computer.
