Plum Horween Cavalier Leather – 9–10 oz.

Sold by the Square Foot.

Bring bold richness and unmatched durability to your leather projects with Plum Horween Cavalier Leather, a 9–10 oz heavyweight leather (3.6–4.0mm) known for its luxurious finish and powerful structure. Made by the world-renowned Horween Leather Company in Chicago, this full-grain leather is a waxed version of their beloved Essex leather, tanned using Horween’s proprietary blend of vegetable-based agents and richly hot-stuffed with oils and waxes.

The Cavalier line offers a slightly brighter, more vivid take on traditional Essex colors—Plum in particular delivers a deep eggplant tone with reddish undertones and a subtle pull-up effect that enhances visual depth when the leather is bent, stretched, or creased. This heavyweight version is ideal for applications where firmness, thickness, and longevity are essential.

Perfect for belts, harnesses, structured bags, sheaths, cuffs, and leatherwork that demands strength, this leather provides excellent cut edges, superior aging properties, and a naturally smooth hand.
