Chromexcel, Dublin and Cypress straps from the Horween tannery, finished clean and even for a traditional look that takes on a glow with time.
Three Horween leathers with consistent, traditional finishes: Chromexcel hot-stuffed with oils and waxes, Dublin hot plated with natural waxes, and Cypress ironed with stains and a light wax coat. Each strap is lined with vegetable-tanned leather and cut and stitched to order in our California workshop, at home on casual and formal watches alike.
These are the Horween leathers we cut when you'd rather the strap didn't surprise you. The finish is even across the hide and even along the band, so what comes out of the box is close to what you'll be wearing in five years. It darkens, and it picks up a glow at the fold, but the grain stays put and the color doesn't wander from one end to the other. For hides that arrive already marked, try the Vintage Horween series.
Chromexcel is the supple one, hot-stuffed with oils and waxes, and it flexes lighter wherever it bends. Dublin is drier and firmer in the hand, with the strongest pull-up of the three. Cypress has the tightest grain and a matte finish. All fourteen are lined with vegetable-tanned leather and cut to your watch, in 12 to 24mm and three lengths or a custom one.
