And here's the tag. Eghaus-Pak Industries. Never heard of them, don't know anything about them. I really would like to know what the leather is. "100% genuine leather" doesn't tell much. I assume cow, but it could be buffalo, or something else for all I know, but I assume if it were exotic the animal would be named on the tag. The polyester lining is nothing special, and there is one inside pocket, which is handy. I really like trucker jackets that have handwarmer AND inside pockets, not the ones that only have chest pockets.Thanks. Here's some more photos. Turns out it IS German, confirmed! I found a tag that I'd either overlooked or forgotten about when I first got it.
Here's some close up shots of the grain and color. It's really hard to describe, and to photograph. The leather itself is very thick, as I said, but the hand is weirdly waxy, and almost rubbery, yet velvety. The color is brown and again hard to capture, in low light it's deceptively dark, and washes out a lot in direct lighting.
I will include photos of the tag I found in the next comment.
My assumption is that this is a well made, heavy, yet not expensive or high end jacket. I am curious about what it would have cost new, and when and where it was made. The label being in German helps establish it as a German jacket, but with the name Eghaus-Pak, I wonder if it might be manufactured in Pakistan.
