Horween Chromexcel® – Dark Brown

Description

Horween Chromexcel® Leather in Dark Brown is a legendary leather known for its rich pull-up, supple feel, and timeless durability. 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 Dark Brown 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 Dark Brown Chromexcel®, this leather delivers unmatched character and durability.
