I received my first Horween leather yesterday from A A Crack so I had to quickly try it out. I am very impressed with the quality and with how easy it was to work with.

Almost all of my previous work has been done with veg tan that I have dyed myself so it was a refreshing change to just pick up some leather cut it out and stitch. I’m worried though that I already thinking I need more :)

Any tips on finishing horween does your final product need any conditioning etc? Normally I would finish my other veg tan products with resoline or carnauba cream or just some leather conditioner such as sedgwicks.

Which Horween is that? I scored a couple of sides of Chromexcel, and love it! I know there's Derby and Essex. Yours doesn't look at all like mine. Mine has a LOT of oils/waxes/grease in it, and I don't think you could add anything to make it more water resistant! Great pull-up, though.
