LIMITED EDITION (September 2026): Only x5 Made
Horween® Chromexcel® | Green & Brown
This is a LIMITED EDITION version with onlly x5 made from genuine Horween® Chromexcel® in dark green Chromexcel® with brown Horween® latigo trim. Chomexcel® is one Horween's premiere and most complex leathers to tan, with a smooth and sleek finish that is more refined. First made in 1914, more than a century ago in Chicago, Chromexcel® is still hand-crafted by Horween® in the same tannery 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.
Trimmed with a heavier, 9oz. Horween® latigo steerhide for the handles, strap and trim pieces, the contrasting brown latigo against the dark green Chromexcel is a great look.
Premium Lining | Italian Hardware & Brass Rivets
The No.545 is finished with premium linings and trims. The interior is lined with a 100% cotton 9oz. herringbone lining then finished with solid-brass hardware, almost entirely from Italy. In addition, the rivets are hand-set, solid brass "Bull" rivets, the most durable available and nearly impossible to fail, but can only be installed individually by a human hand.
