Product Description

Large Jacks £43

The Traditional Jack of the medieval tavern obtained its name from the material used in its manufacture being Jack leather which is still created by soaking in very hot water. When dry the leather is very hard and stays in shape.

Large Jack height approximately 15cms with capacity approximately one pint.  Also available in Small here.

The Medieval Jack pre dates the Tudor beer Tankard by several hundred years but apart from their shape, they were both made in a similar way, using similar materials.

A common trick in the ale house was to over fill the jack with pitch, thus creating a short measure for which many alewives were pilloried in the 13/15 centuries.

If you would prefer a personalised tankard or jack, please do use the “Add Personalisation” option above. More information regarding personalisation can be found here.

Historically, leather jacks were lined with either boiled Resin of the birch tree, Brewer’s Pitch, or Beeswax. Our full grain leather jacks are lined with an epoxy resin to echo the historic use of resin whilst having the visual appearance of Brewer’s pitch. The resin we use is fully certified for use in both the food and alcohol industries.

All our beer tankards and jacks are handmade from natural materials which can never be consistent in colour. Whilst every endeavour is made to control colour consistency, each item is offered as an individual piece. However, it will always be the actual colour ordered.
