HORWEEN CHROMEXCEL (black)
HORWEEN CHROMEXCEL (black)
Chromexcel is cow leather and is a combination of chrome and tannins. By including 4 kinds of fats and oils in abundance, it has both robustness and flexibility. It feels a little different from other cowhide. The more you use it, the deeper the taste comes out. One of the features of this Chromexcel is "color changing". Pinch and bend to change the color lightly. If you put it back on its surface and blend it into the surface, the color will return to its original shape. When I put it on my arm, it shows a light and shade and it is very cool. *Unfortunately, we don't see this effect in Black color but, the leather has lots of oil in it and very soft. You'll love it.
Although it is a flat belt with a slight thickness, it is very flexible and comfortable to wear. Luxurious "Musou" tailoring using the same material for the lining. You can enjoy the texture of solid leather. It's a great atmosphere, so it's one you should definitely try.
*Leather color and texture may vary slightly depending on the lot.
*This leather has a good texture and is not completely colored. Please note that sweat or rain may cause discoloration. Be especially careful when wearing whitish clothes.

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.
