With time and use, this jacket of characterful, grease-grip pull-up horsehide becomes more beautiful. It is a Horsefront leather, so it comes from the chest area of the animals. Hack processes only aniline-dyed goods, where natural traces of a horse's life, such as insect bites or thorn cracks, remain visible in the leather. A light and at the same time warming whalecloth from the Mehler cloth factory in Tirschenreuth is used as the body lining, while the sleeve lining made of viscose makes the jacket easier to put on and take off. The metal zipper, which is underlaid with a wind-resistant leather panel, can be closed all the way to the neck ring. The hip-length leather jacket is equipped with two side pockets, in addition, there are two inside pockets set in leather trim - the smaller one is vertically incorporated into the front at chest level, while the more spacious one is inserted a little deeper and horizontally.

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.
