Just like the trousers, this jacket is the real deal. A straightforward blazer style in black "Deutschleder" - a very dense, very heavy cotton made for carpenters by the same German company for over 100 years. The name means German Leather, as it is seen to be as thick and sturdy as leather (and requires leather machinery to cut and sew). This is the kind of jacket that will stand up on its own. A joy to break in.
