supposedly U-Boot related leather coat

Supposedly U-Boot related leather coat, not seen anything like it... Fake?
Spruced up biker coat perhaps? Thoughts? Lining is field grey wool!

It could be a tailormade piece, they could wear anything they wanted and did. I have not seen a civilian jacket like this before.

Thoughts???

Pretty well constructed for a fantasy item. Maybe a KM collector will know.

I tend to agree... its a weird one... not mine but worth a gamble perhaps!
It sold for 303Euro ...($477 USD)

I tend to agree... its a weird one... not mine (yet) but worth a gamble perhaps!

Hopefully someone will know, it is a nicely made probably fairly expensive coat. I have never seen one like this before. I suppose it could be post War but?

I would say its probably good, u boat stuff was totally random. Always liked their uniforms though. Want one with some province but i think you would be ok to go with this one. Matt

Hello John

I meant with fantasy that it is not a standard type or like you said a tailor made jacket. Is there a label inside from the tailor who made it. Personally i wouldn't spend my money on.

The 2 small "hip belts" on both sides are in my opinion not practical.
