Product Description
Experience the exceptional quality of Horween Dublin Type Darker Browns leather, a premium 4-5oz offering that brings depth, character, and unmatched quality to any leathercraft project. This distinguished leather showcases Horween's mastery of traditional tanning methods enhanced with modern innovation to create a truly remarkable material.

The Darker Browns variation features deep, rich brown tones that range from chocolate to coffee with subtle variations throughout each hide. What truly sets this leather apart is its pronounced pull-up effect—when bent or stretched, the oils and waxes in the leather shift to reveal lighter undertones, creating a dimensional appearance that adds visual interest and character to every project.

At 4-5oz thickness (1.6-2.0mm), this leather hits the sweet spot for versatility across a wide range of applications. It offers enough substance for structure and durability while maintaining excellent workability and comfort in use. The balanced temper provides ideal form retention while allowing for natural breaking-in with use.

Each hide is infused with Horween's proprietary blend of oils and waxes that nourish the leather from within, creating a material that's simultaneously durable and supple. This oil-enriched composition ensures your creations will age beautifully, developing a patina that tells the story of their use and becoming more personal and distinctive over time.

Leathercrafters will appreciate how Dublin Type Darker Browns responds to traditional techniques. It cuts cleanly, stitches beautifully, and burnishes to a smooth edge. The natural pull-up effect creates opportunities for creative finishing techniques, including burnishing and antiquing that enhance the leather's dimensional qualities.
