From seat covers to seat felts - we already have a number of underlays in our range that make sitting more comfortable. What we were missing was a seat pad that was soft and warm, yet robust enough to withstand wet surfaces and that could also be folded up small. We didn't have to travel far to find a manufacturer who could offer us such a jack-of-all-trades: Hack in Cologne makes this foldable seat cushion from wool and cowhide. The side with soft, dense wool fabric (surface weight 990 g/sqm) is ideal as a seat, the side with supple cowhide suede as a support surface. Thanks to the chrome tanning, the leather is hard-wearing and can withstand a little moisture - as long as it doesn't get completely soaked. The seat cushion is therefore suitable for outdoor use and can be taken on any hiking tour. For transportation, the 300 gram lightweight seat pad can be folded from 35 × 35 to a slim 12 × 36 centimetres, with two press stud fasteners holding everything together.

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 its 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.
