Description
Horween Chromexcel® Leather in Black Milled is a legendary leather known for it’s supple feel, and timeless durability. Black Chromexcel® lacks a noticeable pull-up effect. Tanned by Horween Leather Co. in Chicago, this combination-tanned leather undergoes a meticulous process that blends chrome and vegetable tanning, creating a leather that is both strong and flexible.
Infused with Horween’s proprietary blend of oils, waxes, and tallow during a hot-stuffing process, Chromexcel develops a distinctive pull-up effect, meaning the leather lightens in areas of movement, enhancing its character over time. The natural grain and depth of color in Black Milled make it a perfect choice for boots, shoes, wallets, bags, belts, and leather goods that require both beauty and durability.
Key Features:
- Pull-Up Effect: Wax-infused finish creates a dynamic color shift when flexed.
- Full-Grain Leather: Rich, natural texture that ages beautifully with wear.
- Tanned in the USA: Crafted using time-honored techniques at Horween Leather Co.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for footwear, bags, wallets, watch straps, and more.
This leather is classified as Horween Chromexcel® Seconds, meaning it did not meet Horween’s first-grade standards due to minor cosmetic imperfections such as color variation, grain inconsistencies, small scars, or minor finish defects. These natural variations do not affect the leather’s durability or performance and often add to its unique character. Seconds are an excellent choice for those who appreciate high-quality leather at a great value.
Each hide is unique, with natural variations that enhance its handcrafted appeal. Whether you’re crafting a heritage-quality leather good or upgrading your collection with Black Milled Chromexcel®, this leather delivers unmatched character and durability.

This was my first purchase from Maverick Leather Co. I will definitely be making further purchases from them. I have to say, the quality of the leather is excellent. The leather is easy and smooth to cut. I am impressed and love my purchase.

This is really nice leather! At first, it appears to have a wax film on the leather but it just some of the wax coming out of the leather. A slight polish with a rag and you quickly see the awesome character of this leather. Excellent for card cases, wallets, passport cases and tablet sleeves.
