Horween • Pinnacle Double Horsefronts
Pinnacle is a new development in the horsefront leather line from Horween Leather Company. This leather is designed with a strong and durable base tannage, resulting in a final product that is buttery soft and rich in feel. Pinnacle is combination tanned, using chrome tanning with a vegetable re-tannage. New formulations for this product include a proprietary blend of oils being introduced during the tanning process which provide a rich nourishment of the fibers, giving the leather its strength, durability, and soft feel. The leather is then finished with a blend of waxes and aniline dyes, which highlight the unique grain of the horsehide.
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.

The Horween Leather Company, based in Chicago, is renowned for its rich legacy and commitment to producing high-quality leather since its establishment in 1905.
With over a century of experience, Horween has become synonymous with premium leather products, catering to diverse industries such as footwear, sports equipment, and luxury goods.
What distinguishes Horween leather is its meticulous tanning process, often utilizing traditional methods combined with modern techniques to achieve a distinctive blend of durability, suppleness, and a luxurious aesthetic.
Horween's dedication to craftsmanship, coupled with a focus on sustainability, has solidified its reputation as one of the foremost leather tanneries globally, appealing to those who appreciate the artistry and heritage behind each piece of leather they produce.
Horween's Vermont is a lightweight equine leather known for its medium-soft temper and natural feel. The vegetable tanning process imparts a warm, natural color that develops a rich patina over time. Each hide is mill-dyed with aniline dyes that bring out the natural grain and then vacuum-dried, providing a firm yet pliable structure with a thickness of 2.5-3 oz (1.0-1.2 mm). Vermont receives a slight tumbling that adds depth, resulting in a rich hand feel that highlights the authentic texture and subtle variations of the hide’s surface. Ideal for garments, bags, footwear, small leather goods, and more.
