U-Boot Mate's Jacket

Submarine "Mate's" Jacket

For the crews of the Submarines, warships and small combat groups, part of the uniform was the Navy or Mates leather jacket as it is now known as among collectors.

Our Navy-Mate jacket was created to be as accurate and authentic looking as the orginal models from World War II.
We have used only the highest quality materials available to produce this jacket. In order for them to appear as authentic as possible,
we have used the heaviest yet most flexible bull leather. The buttons are made from solid metal and stamped with the Navel Ensignia.

These jackets were worn originally by the crews of the German submarines and then later by the armoured units in 1943.
Made from high quality Argentinian Bull leather.

At last you now have the chance to purchase one of our historic German leather jackets which could be found from the Bismark to the U-99!

Vegetable Tanning:

This form of leather tanning is rarely practiced nowadays due to the very complex process. ( only by this tanning method can the leather take on the unique sculptured form and texture.
