Horween Chromexcel in the UK

[erniethemilk]

Can anyone advise where to buy Horween Chromexcel in the UK. I've looked at various tanneries but can't find any. 

 

Thanks

Thanks. I'll give them a call. They only list 2mm thick material, ideally I'm looking for something a little thicker, maybe 7-8oz.

Sorry, wouldn't have wasted your time with that link if I had known.  You might want to call 

http://leather4craft.co.uk/product-category/horween-2/horween/

but they only do 2mm.

Or try calling https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LeodisLeather?ref=l2-shop-info-avatar

Leodis Leather as he uses it so must have a source plus he's a member here.

Just have a Google and you me luckier than me.

Thanks Gary, had a Google around but still can't come up with much. Horween in the States just advise AA Crack, so I guess I'm just going in circles at present!

Chromexcel can't be found at any tanneries in them UK, as it's an article made by Horween in the US. Basically it's a retanned leather meaning chrome tanned, and a slight veg tannage. You probably won't find a substitute leather in the UK, but you'll find much better leathers, if you look around.

If you need it in any thicker substances, then you should either ask AA Crack about a custom order (expect high minimums) which are the sole UK agents for Horween or order from the US from Maverick leather - look them up on Instagram for bargains.

Thanks for your reply. I've kind of given up on it to be honest and am trying to find a suitable alternative for the project I have in mind.
