Hack Men’s-Cordovan Pull-Up Jacket

Cordovan is seldom used for outer garments because there are not enough large pieces for the cuts. Hack processes horsefront leather for this jacket, an aniline dyed, fatted leather which rapidly develops a strong patina. The body lining is a fabric made of pure Shetland wool from Mallalieus of Delph, the sleeve lining made of rayon makes pulling on the jacket easier.

Behind Hack Lederware you find Christoph Hack, founder and fine bag maker with a studio in Cologne. For decades he has been working with a wide variety of leathers. Based on this experience, he designs his garments. For example, Hack exclusively processes leather with natural surfaces from Germany, Italy and Scandinavia into hard-wearing, functional clothing and genuine accessories. This is why the selected skins from cow, horse and deer document traces of animal life such as insect bites or thorny cracks. Such a leather gains it’s much-desired patina by movement and frequent wearing and proves a magnificent example of what happens when a leather garment is allowed to age with honour. It is this natural ageing process that gives Hack jackets their unique look. They are made up at the Hack headquarters in Cologne and a Polish partner company.
