Horween® Chromexcel®
Chromexcel is made using proprietary techniques and formulas developed over 100 years ago in a factory still owned and operated by the Horween family in Chicago. It's characterized by a rich pull-up in full aniline, hand-rubbed finish, superior comfort, and durability. Chromexcel was made famous by its patina—the unique character of each hide which comes to life with wear.
Shell Cordovan is a rare and uniquely exquisite equine leather made from the connective tissue beneath the hide on the rump. The leather is thin and flexible but also extremely dense, characteristics which combine to resist creases and cracks, even after many years of wear (with proper care). This density also reduces the size of pores and other surface characteristics, resulting in a grain so fine that pores and other surface characteristics are all but invisible to the naked eye.
