M35 Motorcycle Coat This coat was used by the French military motorcycle unit. It is believed to be from the 1940s to 1950s. It was acquired as deadstock, but there has been some storage time and some wear, and the strap on the left leg for passing the foot through is detached (see photo 6). It can be fixed and used, or you could cut it off since you probably wouldn't use it to pass your foot through in this day and age. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
