Elevate your leatherwork with the timeless elegance and durability of Horween Black Dublin Leather, a full grain, vegetable-tanned cowhide made in the USA by Horween Leather Company. Known for its rich, wax-infused finish, Dublin leather combines traditional craftsmanship with high performance, offering a leather that develops character with every cut, bend, and stitch.

Premium Veg-Tan with Signature Horween Pull-Up:

Horween Dublin begins with the same high-quality vegetable-tanned base used in the Essex line, but is further enhanced with a custom blend of natural waxes. This finishing process brings out the full beauty of the grain while creating a durable, semi-gloss surface. The Black Dublin variant offers a deep, saturated tone with subtle highlights that emerge as the leather is flexed and used, showcasing its strong pull-up effect.

The waxes migrate when the leather is manipulated, revealing lighter undertones and giving your finished goods an authentic, lived-in aesthetic right from the start.

Firm Temper and Excellent Workability:

Unlike softer leathers like Chromexcel, Dublin has a firm temper with great structure—perfect for items where shape retention and body are important. Despite the firmer feel, it is still easy to cut, sew, skive, and burnish. The edges take on a glossy finish with minimal effort, making it ideal for exposed-edge projects.

Each side is graded FF (Full Flesh), meaning it’s minimally buffed on the flesh side and ideal for premium goods without requiring excessive lining or backing.

Perfect for Heritage-Style Leather Projects:

Horween Dublin in Black is a favorite for artisans crafting:

• Belts and watch straps.
• Wallets and card holders.
• Briefcases and satchels.
• Knife sheaths and holsters.
• Boots, shoes, and accessories.

Because of its rich wax finish and minimal surface correction, natural grain variation, range marks, and character scars are part of the charm. Each piece is unique and tells its own story.
