It is certainly one of the styles that were favoured by pilots, as they were civilian jackets that were modified by the airman
to suit his personal tastes.... I think it stands a chance of being good...

As a civilian acquired jacket, it seems odd (and unlikely) that it should carry a military hersteller number and, more so, a gerät number, though the label certainly doesn’t appear to be a recent addition.
That said, I like the jacket itself and, as Bob says, it is one of the many known styles (this, I believe, being of French manufacture). I have one in very similar style, with the distinctive ‘flat blade’ buckle. I shall add a few images shortly.

Hello, cyclist jacket, from WWII or post WWII ?

Your jacket looks indeed partly the same. Also the breast eagle.
How are your shoulder straps attached? Also with a string of a piece of rope?

Actually, with the large, black safety pins found in medical kits!
I’ve seen other (different) styles of jacket with bridles made from the leather hanging loop, which was originally fitted inside the collar.
