What Makes Chromexcel Special?

Crafted in Chicago by the renowned Horween Leather Company, Chromexcel is steeped in tradition and innovation. It’s a hot-stuffed, full-grain leather made using a proprietary blend of oils, greases, and waxes infused into the hide during a labor-intensive tanning process that spans nearly a month. The result is a leather that is incredibly supple, with a beautiful pull-up effect and a rich, slightly waxy hand feel.

This Navy variant offers a bold but refined look—deep and classic, yet versatile enough for both heritage and contemporary designs. Expect subtle variations in color and pull-up that only get better with time and handling.
