Horween X

When compared to Steer, Horse hides have a different fiber structure and are naturally thinner which allows Horween Leather Company to produce a lightweight finished leather.  The grain of the horse hides will show a coarser, more pronounced grain structure and are more abrasion resistant.  Due to the characteristics of the horsehide, the finished leather will display more variation and natural markings as compared to our Bovine leathers. The Double Horse Front (DHF) is one among three cuts of a horsehide — this particular selection of the leather is the whole front portion of the hide, with the Butt being cropped off for the Cordovan and Horsehide strip.
