This is a beautiful leather from the Horween tannery in Chicago. It is a fully vegetable tanned horse hide with a matte finish and bags of character. It's very soft and pliable from the start, and will develop a lovely patina with some wear. If you are looking for something special with a vintage feel then this fits the bill perfectly. It really doesn't get better than this. The strap shown is made with dark brown stitching, but grey, emerald green, butterscotch and of course natural thread works well too. Straps produced with Horween Nut Brown leather will be approx 5mm thick and are priced as follows: £120 with a free spring bar buckle £125 with a sewn in buckle £130 with a screw bar buckle -
Horween Derby is one of my personal favourites. It is a full grain, veg tanned steer hide with a lovely soft feel from the Chicago based tannery. Treated with waxes and oils during the tanning process it makes a wonderful strap - take my word for it. Highly recommended! The strap photographed for this page was stitched with natural thread, and I personally think this is the only way to go with this one. Straps produced with Horween Derby leather will be approx 5mm thick and are priced as follows: £100 with a free spring bar buckle £105 with a sewn in buckle £110 with a screw bar buckle -
Nero is actually black Horween Derby. i.e. it is the same leather, but during the tanning process it has been dyed black. It is a full grain, fully vegetable tanned steer hide from Horween of Chicago. Treated with waxes and oils during the tanning process it makes a beautiful strap. If you want a black leather with some character this comes highly recommended. The strap photographed for this page was stitched with butterscotch thread, but being black it will go with any stitch colour. Straps produced with Nero leather will be approx 5mm thick and are priced as follows: £100 with a free spring bar buckle £105 with a sewn in buckle £110 with a screw bar buckle -
