1940S–EARLY 1950S D-POCKET STEERHIDE MOTORCYCLE JACKET CIRCA LATE 1940S

Late 1940s to early 1950s American D-pocket motorcycle jacket featuring classic asymmetrical cross-zip construction and Lightning main zipper hardware. Built from heavy grain leather with a wool plaid lining consistent with early post-war production. The wide lapels, rounded D-pocket panel, and boxy cropped silhouette reflect authentic early American biker design before the sleeker 1960s refinements. Natural patina, hardware oxidation, and leather creasing speak to decades of real wear rather than artificial distressing. Circa late 1940s to early 1950s.
