Men’s Horsehide Roadster Jacket

Almost hip length cut leather jacket in a classic roadster form. The two side pleats, also called "skeet folds" (as are common in clay pigeon shooting or "skeet" shooting), allow the wearer a special freedom of movement. With the two-way zipper (by RiRi) the collar can be closed up to under the chin, the sleeve vents are also equipped with zippers.
More details: two semi-sloping front pockets with brass zippers, one inside pocket on the left with zipper and a vertical pocket for your mobile phone on the right.

These ‚roadster‘ jackets are made of French hide, which is then processed in Italy to produce a thick (almost 1 cm), yet soft and comfortable leather, tanned to give a gentle matt shimmer. A deep-dye process is used, and the leather is then polished to give a blackbrown tone with a warm, vibrant inner glow. Made for us by Hack in Cologne.

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.
