LEATHER Horween Essex Tumbled / Side
Horween® Essex is a combination of new and old technologies. Essex starts with a modern wet-white pre-tannage and then gets a full vegetable tannage using Horween's old fashioned, time proven Shell Cordovan tanning liquors. Next, an enriched blend of fats, oils and greases are tanned into the leather giving the leather durability, softness and a rich round feel.
Specifications
- Tannage: Vegetable-tanned
- Color: No. 8 / Brandy / Dark Brown
- Weight/Thickness: 2.0mm~2.4mm (5/6oz)
- Average size: 18~22 sq. ft. (2-2.4 sq. meters)
- Cut: Side
Bloom
If you notice a white powder on your Horween leather, don’t worry—this is called "bloom." Bloom naturally occurs when the oils, waxes, or fats used during the tanning process rise to the surface, especially in cooler storage conditions. This is common in high-quality, full-grain leathers like Horween.
To remove bloom, simply buff the leather with a soft, dry cloth. A bit of warmth can also help. This is not harmful and is actually a sign of well-crafted leather.
