The Storied Legacy of Horween Leather

Founded in 1905 in Chicago, Horween Leather Company has over a century of expertise in producing some of the world's most esteemed leathers. This family-owned business, now in its fifth generation, has maintained a steadfast commitment to traditional tanning methods. The result is leather that not only boasts superior durability but also tells a story of heritage and meticulous craftsmanship.

The Art of Tanning: A Tradition of Excellence

At Horween, leather tanning is more than a process; it’s an art form. Using time-honored techniques, each hide undergoes a rigorous transformation. The journey begins with the selection of the highest quality raw materials. Horween uses full-grain hides, which are the strongest and most durable part of the hide, ensuring that the leather retains its natural character and strength.

The tanning process involves vegetable tanning, a method that has been perfected over generations. This slow and intricate process can take up to six months, allowing the leather to develop a rich patina and deep, vibrant colors that only improve with age. The use of natural tannins not only enhances the leather’s beauty but also ensures it remains environmentally friendly.
