Men's Cowboy Genuine Cowhide Leather Jacket

Men's Cowboy Genuine Cowhide Leather Jacket

The Men's Cowboy Genuine Cowhide Leather Jacket is the hard-wearing option in the western range. Where the suede pieces are soft and need protecting, this is built in genuine cowhide, which is thicker, tougher and can actually be used. It is the closest thing here to a working western jacket rather than a show piece, and it will outlast every suede jacket in the collection.

Material: Genuine heavyweight cowhide
Fit: Traditional western fit, straight through the body
Closure: Snap front placket with pointed chest and back yokes
Color: Brown cowhide
Care: Dry wipe, air dry if it gets wet, condition twice a year

Cowhide Is the Working Choice

Suede looks the part but cannot get wet and marks easily. Cowhide handles rain, dust and rubbing without complaint. It is heavier and stiffer at first, then breaks in and moulds to your shoulders. If you want a western jacket you can wear outdoors without worrying about it, cowhide is the material to choose.

Traditional Western Construction

Pointed yokes front and back give a second layer of hide over the shoulders, which is where a working jacket wears through first. The body is cut straight for movement, the snap placket is flat and reinforced, and the seams are double stitched throughout. Nothing here is decorative for its own sake.

Fit and Break-In

Order your usual size for the traditional straight fit. Cowhide is firm for the first few weeks and then softens noticeably at the elbows and shoulders. That break-in is normal and is what makes a heavy leather jacket fit properly long term rather than staying board-like.

Made to Order, XS to 5XL
