The Tannery: Horween Leather Company of Chicago, IL, USA (est. 1905)

• Chromexcel: One of, if not the most popular of the Horween leathers, Aniline Chromexcel is hot-stuffed to infuse the leather with oils and greases to make a very comfortable and durable leather. It is then hand stained in a variety of colors. The leather is well known for its natural grain, rich pull-up and a gentle softness. 
• What is "pull-up": When the leather is folded or flexed the greases inside the leather create a tonal effect on the top side of the leather. It can then be buffed out to its near original look. This adds an incredible amount of character to the leather.
• Horween leathers have been hand made since 1905 and still use many of its original tannages and techniques, while innovating with modern applications.
• Used for watch straps, wallets, small leather goods, shoes, clothing, bag straps, bags, and infinite other leather products.
