Our Dublin leather is a vegetable-tanned leather from Horween in Chicago USA. Our Dublin leather showcases a natural grain that gives it a rugged look. It is infused with a rich blend of natural waxes, so it has a nice pull-up. It is more grainy and textured compared to the Horween Chromexcel making it a more casual option. As a natural vegetable-tanned leather, the Dublin leather displays some minor marks and scars that are natural to the animal. Tannery: Horween, USA Temper: Soft Surface: Smooth and waxy Patina: High Water Resistance: None. To ensure longevity, avoid moisture or soaking our straps in water.
