Tan Horween Chromexcel® Leather – 5–6 oz.

Sold by the Square Foot.

Add timeless warmth and classic American heritage to your leatherwork with Tan Horween Chromexcel®, a 5–6 oz (2.0–2.4mm) full-grain leather renowned for its character, flexibility, and deep, natural finish. Produced by Horween Leather Company in Chicago, Chromexcel is the result of over 100 years of perfected craftsmanship using a proprietary hot-stuffing process that blends oils, waxes, and greases into the hide for exceptional durability and a supple, rich feel.

This Tan variant showcases a glowing medium-brown tone with amber undertones and a high-contrast pull-up effect that brings depth and dimension to every bend and fold. The natural surface will develop a rich patina over time, gaining character through age and use—perfect for creating heirloom-quality goods.

Ideal for belts, bags, wallets, watch straps, sheaths, boots, and small leather goods, this weight provides a firm but pliable structure that holds its shape while still being flexible and easy to work with. Each square foot is hand-cut from full hides, making this leather an ideal option for both custom orders and small-scale production.
