Sturdy cotton twill serves as the body lining and in the sleeves, strong viscose serge enables the jacket to be slipped on and off easily. A narrow panel to prevent drafts protects the two-way zipper and the moderate tailoring can be enhanced significantly with lateral adjusters.

Made of regional cowhide, this jacket is influenced by the motorcycle clothing of the 1960s and made by Hack in Cologne. The 1 mm thick leather comes from the Taunus region, where it is traditionally tanned using only vegetable tanning agents. Traces of the animal‘s life (rips from thorns, punctures) are intentionally not sprayed with dye and covered during the drum dyeing.

Behind Hack Lederware is Christoph Hack, founder and master leatherworker with his own studio in Cologne. For decades, he has been working with a wide variety of leathers, gaining a wealth of experience that flows into the design of his garments. For example, Hack uses exclusively open-pored leather from Germany, Italy, and Scandinavia to craft durable, functional clothing and understated accessories for us. The pieces, made from cowhide, horsehide, and deerskin, bear traces of the animals’ lives, such as insect bites or thorn tears. Their patina—which develops through movement and frequent wear—is expressly desired, as it demonstrates that the leather garment is allowed to age gracefully. It is precisely through this natural aging process that Hack’s jackets acquire their unique “character.” They are manufactured at Hack’s headquarters in Cologne and at a partner facility in Poland.
