Horween Cavalier Leather Ink Blue 5-6oz

Horween Cavalier Leather – Ink Blue – 5–6 oz.

Horween’s Cavalier Leather in Ink Blue is a luxurious full grain, combination-tanned leather infused with waxes and oils for a rich, polished finish and deep color saturation. At a sturdy 5–6 oz (2.0–2.4 mm) thickness, it offers body and strength without compromising on flexibility, making it a popular choice for premium leather goods that demand both durability and refined aesthetics.

Cavalier is part of the same family as Chromexcel, but features slightly less pull-up and a deeper concentration of dye, offering a more uniform tone with subtle tonal shifts when flexed. The Ink Blue color is a dark, moody navy with cool undertones, and pairs beautifully with silver, nickel, or antique hardware for a modern yet timeless look.

Features:

• Full Grain Leather – The uncorrected grain preserves the hide’s natural texture and markings for added character.
• Combination Tanned – A proprietary mix of vegetable and chrome tanning delivers both structure and softness.
• Rich Dye Saturation – Ink Blue is a deep, dark navy that offers subtle tonal variation with movement.
• Waxy/Oily Finish – Infused with a proprietary blend of waxes for a smooth, slightly glossy surface and resistance to moisture.
