Created using Horween's Chrome Excel. ``Chrome Excel'' is manufactured by Horween in the United States for the uppers of work boots, etc. Currently, it is manufactured in 10 colors, but this one was made in black. The natural color makes it an excellent match for antique watches.

Chrome Excel is cowhide leather, tanned with a combination of chrome and tannins. By containing plenty of 4 types of oil and fat ingredients, it has both robustness and flexibility. It feels a little different from other cowhide leather. The more you use it, the deeper the flavor will become. One of the characteristics of Chrome Excel is "color discoloration". This black does not fade, but it is a very good leather with elasticity.

It is a flat belt that is a little thick, but it is very flexible and comfortable to wear. The same material is used for the lining, giving it a luxurious and unparalleled finish. You can enjoy the texture of solid leather. It has an outstanding atmosphere, so you should definitely try it.

*The color and texture of the leather may differ slightly depending on the lot.
*This wearing leather has not been completely color-fastened in order to retain its good texture. Please note that the color may fade due to sweat or rain. Be especially careful when white clothing.

Very satisfied with both the sewing and the material

This is my first order from Accurate-Form.
I ordered it yesterday and it arrived today in no time.

The black Horween Shell Cordovan I was aiming for wasn't available, so I was looking through the product list to calm my materialistic desires down when I came across Chrome Excel leather.

The actual product has a moderate shine without being too shiny, and is supple. I heard that Chromexcel leather is easily scratched, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it gets scratched.
There is almost no odor.
The sewing is flawless. They do a really careful job. The edges are also treated with care. Even an amateur like me can see that the stitches are straight and even.
I tried attaching it to a watch once and putting a pin buckle on it, but the leather is soft and it's already bent. I don't like strange bends, so I'm going to get a D buckle soon.
This time I had the optional quick release processing done. I'm happy that it also came with a spring bar.
If you don't have a quick release, you may end up causing unexpected scratches on both the watch itself and the leather band when you change the strap, so it's a good idea to request a quick release when ordering.
It seems that shell cordovan has not yet arrived, but I am already wanting to try bridle leather before then.
Also thank you.

Thank you for your purchase and review.
CHROMEXCEL is a very easy-to-use strap made from supple leather that is rich in oil.
