“Kudu” Chromexcel has around 5% higher oil content in comparison to the standard Chromexcel tannage. Tanned on US steer hides (not actually Kudu) this incredibly strong and hardwearing leather is great for footwear and outdoor goods. Dries well when wet and does not salt stain. Due to the high oil content this leather is not recommended for bags. Limited stock – Made in the USA.
Chromexcel® leather has been produced using the same hot-stuffing formula for over 90 years. This process infuses the hides with Horween’s proprietary oil, wax and tallow mixture that provides the leather with an unmatched durability and feel. They are then hand-stained with an aniline dye which creates a richly colored leather with a beautiful pull-up effect. (Black CXL does not display a pull-up). This full grain leather holds up well to the elements and resists hardening for generations.
Second-run leathers; may have defects ranging from: dye-lot/color variation, brands, holes, loose break, tannery swatch cuts, etc.
I’m really happy with this leather. I’m having some custom boots made with it by White’s Boots. It has a really cool pull up look and it will be really water and stain resistant because of all the extra oil in this version of Chromexcel. I highly recommend it!
