Horween Chromexcel Brown Leather 5-6 oz.

Horween Chromexcel® Brown Leather – 5-6 oz. (2.0–2.4mm).

Full-Grain Leather with Classic Pull-Up Finish.

Bring tradition, quality, and unmatched character to your leatherwork with Horween Chromexcel® Brown Leather, tanned in the USA by the world-renowned Horween Leather Company. Chromexcel is one of the most iconic leathers ever produced, famous for its luxurious feel, deep color saturation, and signature pull-up effect. With a 100-year legacy of craftsmanship behind it, this leather stands as a top-tier choice for artisans seeking heritage-grade materials.

This 5-6 oz. weight leather (approximately 2.0–2.4mm thick) offers excellent durability with a flexible hand, making it ideal for a wide variety of leathercraft applications. It’s particularly well-suited for belts, wallets, boots, journal covers, bags, watch straps, and other accessories where strength, appearance, and longevity are paramount.

Horween’s Chromexcel line is a combination-tanned leather, beginning with chrome tanning for flexibility and strength, followed by a long, slow vegetable re-tanning process that enhances structure and aging characteristics. The hides are then hot-stuffed with a proprietary blend of natural oils, greases, and waxes—resulting in a leather that’s both soft and strong, with a high oil content and unmistakable richness.

The classic brown tone of this leather features exceptional tonal range and depth, changing beautifully with bending or stretching thanks to its pronounced pull-up effect. Over time, this leather develops a beautiful patina that highlights every scratch, crease, and movement, adding character unique to each finished item.
