Meindl »Whistler Mountain« Men's Deerskin Jacket

Fine, chamois-tanned, locally hunted deerskin forms the basis for the men's »Whistler Mountain« leather jacket. The chamois tanning process is thousands of years old and requires a lot of experience and patience. An experienced tanner needs almost four months to prepare the hides for dyeing. The whole process is done naturally, without the use of chemical bleaching agents and additives. Traditionally, only the surface is dyed. Only natural dyes are used, which are elaborately obtained from the extract of tree bark. The dyes are artfully applied to the leather hides with a hand brush. The resulting special colouring and the natural, individual features of the leather make each jacket unique. The elegant deerskin cleverly expresses the masculine look. The comfortable, slightly fitted cut and the asymmetrical, distinctive staghorn button placket give the jacket its unmistakable casual silhouette. Details such as the contrasting lining, epaulettes and the adjustable back strap skilfully underline the urban look of the jacket. Two striking patch pockets with flap, two buttoned inside pockets and the two welt pockets on the sides offer enough space for everyday essentials. The masculine features cleverly hint at a natural sophistication and emphasise the individual style of the wearer. Over time, the leather develops a typical patina through movement and frequent wear. This gives the jacket even more character and a special, unique personality.
