Harvest Horween Cavalier Leather 5-6oz Panels

Harvest Horween Cavalier Leather Panels – 5–6oz.

Indulge in rich, golden character with Harvest Horween Cavalier Leather—now available in precision-cut panels sized for small-batch leathercraft projects. Produced by the renowned Horween Leather Company in Chicago, this leather brings together the firm temper of traditional vegetable tanning with the signature softness and waxy sheen of the Cavalier line.

The Harvest color is a warm, golden brown tone with rich undertones and a subtle pull-up effect that deepens when the leather is bent or flexed. These characteristics make it an excellent choice for refined everyday carry items, rustic accessories, or heirloom-quality leather goods that grow more beautiful with age and use.

Panel Sizes Available:

• 11" × 14" — approx. 1.07 sq. ft.

What is Horween Cavalier?

Cavalier is a close cousin to Horween’s world-famous Chromexcel®, offering many of the same qualities—full grain construction, hot-stuffed wax and oil blend, and rich pull-up—but with a slightly more vivid color palette and softer hand. It retains strength and structure while offering a more pliable working experience ideal for soft goods and luxury accessories.

The Harvest tone is highly versatile: it pairs beautifully with antique brass or nickel hardware and makes a stunning base for wallets, belts, valet trays, notebook covers, and more.

Ideal Uses:

• Wallets and minimalist card holders.
• Watch straps and keychains.
• Belt tabs and strap ends.
• Clutches and small handbags.
• Luggage tags and journal covers.
• Luxury patchwork or multi-color leather projects.

Why Choose Pre-Cut Panels?

• Skip the hassle of cutting down sides—these Horween panels are ready to go out of the box. They’re especially great for:
  • Testing dye resistance, edge finishing, or adhesive.
  • Compact project layouts.
  • Hobbyists, small-batch makers, and workshops with limited space.

Note on Appearance:

As a full grain leather, these panels may feature natural scars, grain variation, or range marks. These are not defects—they’re beautiful evidence of the hide’s authenticity and quality. The pull-up effect and oil content will also evolve with handling, giving each piece a truly one-of-a-kind look.

Bring the craftsmanship and tradition of Horween Leather into your next project with Harvest Cavalier panels—the perfect balance of structure, beauty, and workability in a golden, pull-up finish.
