Horween Overdyed Chromexcel Horsehide

The process begins with Horween's time-honored chrome tanning of carefully selected horsehides. This foundational process, perfected over more than a century of leather production, ensures optimal strength and flexibility while maintaining the leather's natural characteristics.

Following the initial chrome tanning and finishing, the leather undergoes Endurance Leather Co.'s proprietary overdying process. This additional treatment penetrates the leather fibers more deeply than surface finishing, creating enhanced color saturation that becomes an integral part of the leather structure rather than a surface coating.

The overdying process creates colors with exceptional depth and richness compared to standard chromexcel finishing. This treatment allows for more dramatic color variations and enhanced visual appeal while preserving the leather's natural grain patterns and texture characteristics.

The overdyed treatment produces deep, saturated coloration with enhanced color depth that exceeds standard chromexcel finishing. The leather maintains the natural grain patterns characteristic of high-quality horsehide while achieving more dramatic color intensity. The overdying process enhances visual appeal without compromising the leather's natural texture or flexibility.

Retains the smooth horsehide characteristics with distinctive pull-up properties that chromexcel processing is known for. The overdying treatment does not alter the leather's fundamental texture, maintaining the optimal balance between firmness and flexibility that provides structural integrity for demanding applications.

Develops unique patina characteristics due to the deeper color saturation from the overdying process. As the leather ages and develops wear patterns, the enhanced base colors create more dramatic patina development compared to standard chromexcel horsehide, allowing each piece to develop distinctive character over time.
