Horween Aspen is a newly developed, double-front horsehide leather, tanned and finished in Chicago, IL. It is a full-grain, 100% vegetable tanned leather in a 4-5oz. weight, making it an ideal thickness for luggage and other durable goods. While inspired by the classic European “Vachetta” style, which is smooth and firm, Aspen offers a distinctly American twist. It is much softer, with a round hand and a natural light pebbling. The surface is finished with a light glaze that gives the hides a rich lustre with some extra shine.

Shown in Burgundy, Navy, Dark Brown, and Cognac.

Double Horse Fronts: 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.
