Golden Brown Horween Cavalier Leather 5-6oz.

Sold by the Square Foot.

Bring warmth, depth, and heritage character to your leather projects with Golden Brown Horween Cavalier Leather, a premium pull-up leather developed by the legendary Horween Leather Company in Chicago. Known for its rich color, smooth grain, and durable finish, this chrome-tanned leather is hot-stuffed with natural oils and waxes for a soft, luxurious hand and a dynamic pull-up effect.

Each piece is sold by the square foot, making it ideal for custom, small-batch, or pattern-specific work. The 5–6oz weight (approx. 2.0–2.4mm) offers added body and durability—perfect for bags, straps, and other gear that needs to stand up to wear while aging beautifully.

Rich Golden Brown with Signature Pull-Up:

The golden brown tone of this leather reveals lighter undertones as it’s flexed, creased, or tooled, thanks to the oil- and wax-infused tanning process. This contrast between surface and pull-up highlights every curve and contour of your work, giving each item a distinct and evolving patina. The finish allows for minor scuffs to be buffed out easily, while deeper wear adds to its rugged charm over time.

Why Choose Horween Cavalier?

Cavalier is a more vibrant cousin to Horween’s famous Chromexcel—sharing the same oil-rich base and hot-stuffed quality but with a brighter range of colors and slightly drier feel. This makes it particularly appealing for projects that demand depth of color, pull-up contrast, and a traditional hand-feel, without compromising on durability.

Because it's full grain and minimally processed, expect natural markings and occasional variation—this is part of what makes each piece of Horween leather one-of-a-kind.
