Horween Leather Co.

Since 1905, Horween Leather Company has been producing some of the finest leathers for shoemaking and other sectors in Chicago, IL. Horween Leather Co. is widely known because of its products, quality & its tradition, and it is for a good reason.
 
All shells undergo a very complex and long process following very specific steps during its tanning & production that make this leather so good for shoemaking. To summarize the process and simplify it, here are a few of the most representative steps of it: They're all slow vegetable tanned in pits where each shell is slowly steeped in gentle vegetable liquors, then shells are hot stuffed and then slicked onto glass frames to dry. To complete the process shells are aniline dyed and hand glazed to achieve its characteristic unique luster & feel. This time consuming process takes about six months.

Horween's Shell Cordovan is made following the original recipes & tanning methods at Horween's Tannery in Chicago, IL (USA).

New design. Customer favorite ingredients.

For the introduction of Dark Cognac shade we've prepared a new NST Boot patternthe model #101205.

This new NST Boot is fully hand-lasted and Goodyear Welted on the round and voluminous HOK last, and more specifically for this style using a thick storm welt—Thicker & specially designed to fit better our most voluminous lasts, for a more casual & flatter look.

The HOK has rapidly become a true customer favorite because of its look, but most importantly because of its truly comfortable & supporting fit. 

Uppers come with a reinforced fabric pull tab and on this new pattern, fitted with 5 pairs of eyelets plus 4 pairs of solid brass speed-hooks for and added comfort. As we did with the Jumper Boot pattern, on this NST we've worked a lot on the back-part, ensuring it adjusts perfectly to provide an exceptional support. Aprons are fully hand-sewn to ensure they perfectly fit the HOK last lines.

Made using thick vegetable tanned leather insoles, fully calf leather lined with the beautiful veg-tan French calf from Tanneries Du Puy & fitted with a close channel stitch leather sole.

Needless to say that, when the time comes, this boot is fully recraftable. These Boots are truly sturdy enough to last a lifetime if properly taken care of.
