Identifying an old mysterious German coat

[Woody99]

Hey up, I’ve found this coat online with an interesting defunct German branding that only seems to show up on this site with some 1930s-50s coats. The leather looks gorgeous on it but it’s got a skull & crossbones looking logo on the lapel that concerns me a bit about its origin.

Anyone know more about “Hafa Leder Kleidung”? Obviously leather clothing but I can’t find pretty much anything about them online. Thanks for the help anyone!

so, the owner sent a better picture of the pin…

Does look a bit… bad guy doesn’t it?

I would stay away from that. It is a Totenkopf, a WW II Waffen SS Officers' insignia

It's a butchered (heavily altered) German long-coat. Early-ish one though post-1950's which is to say that the moronic insignia was added quite some time after the war.

What @Peacoat said; you should steer clear of it. I don't believe that the object can be cursed but considering the magnitude of idiocy one needs to suffer from to with to wear this pin, the coat just might have retained some of its owners evil aura.

These coats do turn up in Europe relatively regularly - At least newer iterations do which are, regardless, still a pinnacle of workmanship and quality - so you should easily find one in its original state. Often quite cheap, too. Although they don't sit for very long.

There you go. But like I said, don't wait for too long.
