- I talk about all my items made of the beloved Horween brown Chromexcel! I discuss the differences in each, as no two leathers are the same !!
In this video I showed Grant Stone boots, you can shop them here:

Those Viberg boots look incredible!
those indy boots aged soooooo well. thanks for the video and Happy New Year!
Thank you!! Yes the indys have been worn quite a bit! Happy New Years to you as well my friend 👍👍👍
Maybe with time I’ll come to appreciate the nicks and scuffs , perhaps it’s part of the journey.
Also not a fan of the looks of loose grain. That likely could change.
I like the more reddish Indy boots. The vibergs also look extra special in my eyes.
Own no boots with that leather yet. You convinced me to find a pair soon
Daniel James that’s awesome!! Yessir Chromexcel in general is known for taking on a lot of character really quickly. That’s what some people love about it! And yes a lot of people are not fans of the loose grain. It’s not something I would have even noticed had people not pointed it out to me lol
Chromexcel has a very tight grain. It is polished down at the tannery.
@@DalesLeatherworks chromexcel has a tight grain
Essex is a vegetable tannage where as Chromexcel is a combination tannage. It has barely any pull up compared to Chromexcel.
Essex has no pull up, it isn't hot stuffed or glazed. I'm not sure how he describes himself as a "horween freak" if he doesn't know essex and chromexcel are different tannages.
very nice video i really love the thorogoods. i have the plain ones and together with the indy boots my favorite pair
Thanks for the video. I have a pair of White’s boots on order in brown CXL that I am impatiently waiting for. I see a lot of variation in this leather and this video confirms that it’s not just my imagination
So happy this helped you out my friend!!! Sounds like you made a great choice, you’ll love them!!
Nice video. Like the Trex deck as well.
Thanks my friend!!!
beautiful backpack! name and make pls
Thank you!! I got this from a shop on Etsy called USAHANDCRAFTLEATHER however they have since closed down with no explanation 😔 this was called the hipster backpack
You gotta try Nicks, its on a different level.
I just saw some nick's in natural waxed flesh which are INCREDIBLE. might have to pull the trigger here soon haha
EXCELLENT VIDEO! THANK YOU
I noticed you dont have to your collections the Allen Edmunds Higgins mill boots?
my friend has a pair of those, he loves them!!!
Get some in shell, you'll definitely love em. They are so comfortable right out of the box.
Great video and thanks for sharing as relevant ibid still useful today!
Q: how does that the Viberg 2030 last compare to the Grant Stone Leo last in terms of width, height and overall volume?
I think technically they are the same, but I find the Grantstone’s fitting a hair smaller than the 2030
Is it that the browns come out different or company’s call their different shades of brown Chromexcel “brown”. I have swatches of Chromexcel and Cavalier from Horween and there are multiple colors that could pass as brown...Questions only boot collectors colors think about lol
Francisco Rogel good question! Sometimes companies decide to give the leather a unique name. I know Grantstone calls this color “crimson.” I think J Crew refers to brown CXL as “dark raisin” and they call tan calfskin “tobacco” even though other companies just use the traditional name for the leather
@@DalesLeatherworksYeah those top-left Aldens look like #8 Chromexcel....
Oh wow! I just looked up the vibergs & now I know I'll probably never be owning a pair of those lol
$1200+ Australian $s
But on a good note I've decided I'm buying a pair of Grant Stone Diesels and I really like the colour of the ones you show on this video. Can I ask what is the exact colour as on their website atm the only Browns are burgundy and #8 chomexcel which I think are a bit different to the ones shown here & are they limited edition or will they likely pop up again soon?
Thanks so much for your videos, of all the CZcamsrs I've watched so far I find yours both informative and also showing boots that are close to my taste esp the fact you have many Truman and Grant Stone which are the 2 companies I've found myself leaning towards most even if the Truman are a little more expensive I find them more fashionable rather than being mostly about durability than Nick's/Whites which I see as similar brands. Cheers :)
Grant Stone refers to their brown Chromexcel as “Crimson” Chromexcel which I feel is a far better name for it than brown! They have plenty of options of those on their website! And thanks so much for your kind words we are kindred spirits🙏🙏🙏
Essex is not close to chromexcel. Essex is a full veg tan leather. Chromexcel is chrome tan then re tanned in veg formula. Essex is the same as dublin but dublin has wax added.
this is true! i guess i meant they're similar in that they can both be bovine hides and they're both from horween and undergo similar but not exact tannage processes
Thanks for the video. Are those Alden 95080s?
To bro where did u custom made the leather bag? The chromexcel seems much better than the boots
Yes !!! Unfortunately the shop closed down but I resorted to making the bags now!!

@@DalesLeatherworks dayum lemme know if you start your own brand!
Fun fact: chromexcel is corrected grain leather not full grain.
Slightly adjusted.
Imagine having the same pair of shoes six times
Epaulet = "EE-paul-AY"... no. "EH-puh-LET"... yes.
Are those cxl cowhide or cxl horsehide
Mostly all cow
