Bring rich color, buttery feel, and unrivaled character to your leatherwork with Horween Cavalier Leather in Whiskey—a luxurious full grain side leather tanned in Chicago by the legendary Horween Leather Company. Made using the same base tannage as Chromexcel but with a deeper dye process and a slightly softer hand, Cavalier is prized by leathercrafters for its vibrant pull-up effect and outstanding workability.

Signature Horween Quality

Cavalier is a full grain leather, meaning the natural surface is left intact, preserving the rich character, scars, and grain variation that define premium hides. The leather is hot-stuffed with natural oils and waxes, providing a distinctive feel, incredible depth of color, and a burnishable surface that develops a unique patina over time.

Vibrant Whiskey Color with Pull-Up

This Whiskey variant offers a warm, golden caramel tone with a rich pull-up—when the leather is flexed or bent, the oils shift, creating lighter high points that add dynamic visual depth. Ideal for showcasing natural character and vintage appeal in finished goods.

Soft and Supple Temper

Compared to Chromexcel, Cavalier has a slightly softer temper, making it especially suitable for leather goods where pliability is preferred. It still maintains good structure for everyday carry and wearables, but is easier to form, shape, and fold straight off the side.

• Cavalier is a favorite choice among artisans making:
  • Wallets, card holders, and passport sleeves.

  • Watch straps, key fobs, belts (double layered), and journals.
