Horween Spice Essex Veg Tan Leather 4-5 oz is a premium full-grain vegetable-tanned leather crafted using Horween’s century-old Shell Cordovan tanning liquors. This leather is distinguished by its high oil content, which imparts exceptional softness, suppleness, and durability, making it ideal for a wide range of leathercraft projects. The 4-5 oz weight (approximately 1.6 to 2.0 mm thick) strikes a perfect balance between flexibility and sturdiness, suitable for crafting wallets, bags, footwear, and other fine leather goods.

Finished in a rich "Spice" tone, this leather features a natural matte surface with subtle grain and a waxy, slightly oily touch that produces a beautiful pull-up effect, where the color lightens when stretched or bent, adding depth and character over time. The Essex leather ages gracefully, developing a unique patina that enhances its visual appeal and longevity. It is sourced from the strongest outer side of the hide, ensuring resilience and strength for long-lasting use.

This vegetable-tanned leather is hand-glazed and aniline-finished, preserving its natural beauty and allowing the leather to breathe. As a versatile and richly oiled leather, Horween Essex Spice is perfect for artisans seeking a soft yet durable material that combines traditional tanning craftsmanship with modern performance.

Elevate your craft with the rich character and time-honored quality of Horween Spice Essex Veg Tan Leather, offered in a versatile 4-5 oz weight (approximately 1.6-2.0mm thick). This full grain leather is tanned using Horween’s legendary vegetable tanning process, yielding a supple yet durable hide with a luxurious hand and deep pull-up effect.

Highlights:

• Made in the USA by Horween Leather Co., one of the oldest tanneries in North America.
• Vegetable tanned using a unique blend of natural tree barks and Horween’s proprietary liquors.
• Full grain, drum-dyed, and hot-stuffed with waxes and oils for a smooth surface and natural sheen.
• Exceptional for wallets, belts, bags, footwear, sheaths, and small leather goods.
• Ages beautifully, developing character and depth with every touch and wear.

Whether you’re tooling, hand-stitching, or crafting heirloom-quality pieces, Horween Essex in Spice delivers the premium feel and performance leatherworkers trust.
