Bring natural character and unmatched craftsmanship to your leatherwork with Horween Dublin Leather in Natural—a full grain, vegetable-tanned leather made using Horween’s proprietary blend of tradition, technology, and time-tested tanning methods. Tanned in Chicago, USA, Dublin leather is a standout choice for makers seeking a richly detailed leather with depth, firmness, and a gorgeous pull-up effect.

A Premium Vegetable-Tanned Leather from Horween

Horween Dublin starts with a true vegetable tan base—similar to Horween’s Essex line—but it is then enhanced with a unique wax blend that brings out the depth of the leather grain and gives it a character-rich surface. It is hot-stuffed with oils and waxes to provide both visual richness and a water-resistant finish.

The Natural colorway is undyed, allowing the full grain to shine in its raw, light tan tone. It will age dramatically over time, darkening with exposure to sunlight, oils, and handling to develop a deep golden patina that reflects its journey and your craftsmanship.

Firm Temper with a Rich Pull-Up Effect

Dublin has a firmer temper than Horween's Chromexcel or Cavalier leathers, making it ideal for projects that require more structure and form. Despite its firmness, it cuts cleanly, burnishes beautifully, and edges extremely well.

The high oil content and wax topcoat create a strong pull-up effect—as the leather is flexed or creased, the oils shift within the fibers, producing lightened areas that enhance the natural grain pattern and add visual depth.

Ideal for a Wide Range of Leather Goods

Natural Horween Dublin is a favorite among both traditional leatherworkers and contemporary designers. It is highly versatile and suitable for:

• Belts and straps.
• Wallets, card holders, and money clips.
• Watch straps and accessories.
• Satchels, tote bags, and briefcases.
• Sheaths, notebook covers, and more.

Because it is full grain and minimally finished, each side may show natural range marks, scars, and grain variation—hallmarks of authenticity in a high-end vegetable-tanned leather.
