Why Choose Horween Chromexcel?

Tanned by the historic Horween Leather Company in Chicago, Chromexcel is world-renowned for its combination tanning process and hot-stuffing method that infuses the hide with a rich blend of oils, waxes, and greases. The result is a supple yet strong leather with a signature pull-up effect—a shifting of tones when flexed or folded that highlights the natural character of the hide.

Each square foot of Chromexcel carries the legacy of over a century of Horween craftsmanship, making it a trusted choice for high-end leather artisans around the globe.
