Vintage Häckel & Co. German Police Leather Overcoat - Large (42-44)

A commanding piece of mid-century craftsmanship, this vintage Häckel & Co. overcoat captures the utilitarian precision and understated authority of German police outerwear from the 1960s–1970s. Made in Münster by one of Germany’s respected leather manufacturers, it reflects the era’s balance between functionality, restraint, and timeless style.

Cut from dense full-grain cowhide, the leather has a smooth, natural grain and a substantial drape that carries real presence. The deep black finish is rich and even, exuding quiet confidence rather than show. Silver-tone buttons line the double-breasted front, while the raglan sleeve construction and long-line silhouette offer both structure and freedom of movement. There’s a strength to the design, purposeful yet elegant that feels unmistakably authentic.

Inside, the coat is lined in thick black moleskin: warm, soft, and built for comfort. Every detail is deliberate, from the angled front flap pockets to the two internal pockets and reinforced stitching, ensuring both practicality and durability. Weighing approximately 2.6kg, this is a piece built to last, the kind of outerwear that feels reassuringly solid the moment it’s in your hands.

This jacket has been specialist leather cleaned and professionally conditioned in-house, ensuring the hide remains supple, nourished, and ready for continued wear.

Condition is excellent vintage throughout. The leather remains supple and well-preserved, showing only light, natural signs of age. All buttons, stitching, and lining are intact and in fine order — a testament to the quality of Häckel & Co.’s craftsmanship.
