LIMITED FIRST EDITION x10 Made | Horween® Chromexcel®
This version is made from genuine Horween® Chromexcel® in a Black on Black. Chromexcel® is one Horween's premiere and most complex leathers to tan. The smooth and sleek finish is more refined with a modern look even though it was first made in 1914, more than a century ago in Chicago. Today Chromexcel® is still hand-crafted by Horween® in Chicago, using the same processes and formulations as they did in 1914. Rich blends of hot oils, waxes, and greases are impregnated into the leather giving it not only a great feel but a unique pull up effect and a firm temper to make it ideal for bags and luggage.
We use Chromexcel® with a natural (tan color) backing or "crust" to give the leather a teacore look after it's been worn for years. The tan crust color will slowly come to the surface on the corners, edges and other wear spots over time. This creates a genuine vintage "teacore" look as it patinas. You can use shoe polish or simple leather dies to touch-up these natural effects, but our feeling is the leather is designed for this and let it age as it was meant.

Japanese Lining | Italian Hardware & Brass Rivets
The 10oz. herringbone cotton lining is as good as you will find in a bag. It is made by Yoshiwa Millls in Japan is a shuttle loom woven fabric, for supreme quality. We finish the entire bag with solid-brass hardware, almost entirely from Italy and the rivets are hand-set, solid brass "Bull" rivets. The most durable available and nearly impossible to fail, but can only be installed by a human hand, one at a time.

The Leather

Made from Horween® Chromexcel ®, one of their most popular and exclusive leathers. Chromexcel® is considered the “original” pull-up leather, with a unique smooth and sleek finish, a rich sheen and the distinctive high and low color tones within the hide.

The hides are finished with a "hot-plating" to give them a smoother surface, a rich lustre and a light sheen. You will notice a slight "pull-up" effect with light undertones and a wonderful "leather" smell. Entirely tanned at the Horween® tannery in Chicago, USA.

Dublin is a true "Artisan" tanned leather made from domestic US hides and tanned, start to finish, in the USA since 1905.
