Illini "Bighorn" Latigo

Horween Illini “Bighorn” Latigo is a premium full-grain leather that exemplifies timeless American craftsmanship. Produced using Horween’s classic Latigo formulation, it undergoes a unique combination tanning process that includes a full vegetable re-tan. After tanning, the leather is hot stuffed with a proprietary blend of waxes, a step that deeply nourishes the hide while enhancing its natural pull-up effect. This meticulous process results in a tight, uniform grain and a notably firm temper that sets it apart from standard Latigo leathers. Renowned for its durability and evolving patina, Horween Illini “Bighorn” Latigo is ideally suited for artisanal leather goods such as bags, belts, saddle strings, and other small accessories. The leather’s character is enriched with natural markings, making every piece unique while delivering consistent, high-end performance and rugged elegance.
