Product description

If nothing else, the wartime Germans were masters at designing good looking clothes. This is a reproduction of the World War 2 era short U-Boat & tank crew leather jacket, which inspired the "modern" biker jacket (see: Terminator 2).

Short hemmed, well fitted leather jacket with no zippers what so ever, a proper military model. The inside is lined with a single layer of thin fabric which makes this a viable option for wear in semi-warm weather too. The collar can be turned up for some protection against the wind, or just to look cool.

This is not a 100% exact reproduction though, for practical reasons we added side pockets which are accessed through slits in the side seams. The slits are sewn shut with some sparse stitching which are easy to open.

Särmä is our own brand of clothing and equipment. When you're buying Särmä you're getting purpose built stuff at a decent price, something that will fill it's intended role well and not cost you an arm and a leg!

Made in Pakistan

These are made by a small (about same size as us) Pakistani sewing factory run by two brothers. Due to their small size they are a very flexible team and what we've been most pleased with is how well they listen to advice. So far we have been very happy with the fruits of our common labour!

Great leather, if you buy one you will need to reinforce the stitching on the buttons, hence why only four stars. Would be nicer if the lining was cotton, but otherwise superbly comfortable.

Great Jacket for a very reasonable price. The Leather seems pretty strong and the cut is nice. Would have preferred cotton lining like the M36, thought.
