This belt is made of sturdy cowhide leather. It allows you to quickly and easily secure your pant legs while cycling, preventing them from flapping around or getting caught in the chain. What makes it practical—not just for cycling, but also for jogging or walking the dog in the dark—is, first, the attached reflective tape, which ensures better visibility. Second, the leather strap features a Velcro closure, allowing you to adjust it to fit and even wear it on your arm or wrist. So you can wear it on your ankle or wrist, we supply the leather reflective strap as a pair. It’s available in two versions: brown suede and black smooth leather.

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.
