The famous Horween Color #8 is a deep brown with a reddish undertone that is almost burgundy or dark cherry. The number eight also indicates how this color is made. Chromexcel is a pull-up leather which highlights the contours and folds of the piece you’re making, giving it a more dynamic character than regular flat looking full-grain leather. Because it is impregnated with a secret blend of oils (a tradition dating back over 90 years), it has a long lasting glow to it that never wears with age.

There are three secrets to making Chromexcel:

• full vegetable retan done with an in-house custom blend of retanning liquor
• genuine hot stuffing- the impregnation of leather with a proprietary blend of natural oils and greases that are solid at room temperature
• an additional full week long drying process.

The rich aniline and semi-aniline finishes showcase the grain of the leather. Chromexcel’s careful tanning process also ensures a comfort feel and durability for you and your customers. Not only does it look good but it is able to withstand repeated wettings and still dry soft.
