**All you size 44 Guys - Vintage Hein Gericke For Sale**- Ever seen this B4?

[MBS]

I never even heard of one in CT until now - guess I was under that rock a bit too long. You know I'm up for a ride when I can get it. Breakfast sound good too. Give me a buzz.

I know this is kind of random, but I ended up the owner of this jacket. I bought it at a swap meet about 10-15 years ago in Austin, TX.
I'm still a vintage bike guy. I was looking for something else and stumbled across this listing.

Just thought you might like to know it found a good home and is still loved.

You'll never see another one like this jacket...
I bought this at the Marche aux Puces de la Porte de Vanves antique/vintage market in Paris France Dec of 2009.

It was a Hein Gericke jacket from the late 50's that Ive never seen before.

Although its a size 44, I convinced myself, (I was 175 pounds at the time), that it would fit just fine with a sweater underneath... Even with a longsleeve shirt & a hoodie it was still a bit roomie.

Now that Im down 20 pounds since I bought the jacket, its simply to big and unwearable so I've decided to put it up for sale.

Its a rare double breasted jacket. It even came with the vintage Yamaha patches on the arms..

the leather is FLAWLESS as is the lining:

Its labeled a european size 54 which is a 44 US sizing.

Check out the old detailing and the military braided shoulder epaulets, which is a typical WW2 German Military thing...

I want $300+ shipping for this jacket.

Yeah its a serious price, but its a serious jacket...
