Discover the iconic quality of Horween Chromexcel® Black Drum Dyed Leather, one of the most celebrated leathers in the world—now in a versatile 4-5 oz. weight (approximately 1.6–2.0mm). Produced by the historic Horween Leather Company in Chicago, this leather is the result of over 100 years of tanning tradition and craftsmanship.

Chromexcel is known for its luxurious, waxy hand feel and deep pull-up character, and this drum dyed version delivers even more color saturation and consistency throughout the hide. The black tone is rich and uniform, offering a bold, timeless aesthetic that pairs beautifully with refined or rugged designs. Whether you're making wallets, footwear, journal covers, bags, or small leather goods, this mid-weight leather offers both structure and flexibility for easy handling and flawless results.

Tanned using Horween’s proprietary combination process, this full-grain leather is chrome tanned for strength and suppleness, then re-tanned with natural vegetable extracts to enhance aging characteristics. It’s hot-stuffed with oils and greases for a naturally water-resistant finish and a touchable, durable surface.
