A very unique, limited and hard to source leather. We received this lot in the Fall of 2023, with just enough to make a handful of products. It is tanned in the Horween 'Natural' color, which is more of a light brown/tan tone. The trim and handles are made from a stout, 8oz. Horween latigo.

This is a unique and very hard to source, Horween Horsehide leather. Called 'Natural M' due to its use as a mechanical horsehide leather in the 1900's. The hides are totally unique in their temper and the incredible patina and burnish that it develops with use. Initially the hides are more of a matte finish but with use they naturally burnish with a rich sheen. The Natural M hides are pit-tanned, using techniques developed by Horween of Chicago since in 1905. A 30 day vegetable tannage is followed by conditioning with tallow, lanolin, and beeswax. The resulting leather is supple, strong, and very dense.
All tanned in Chicago, IL at the famous Horween tannery.
