LEATHER Horween Derby / Cut Panel
Crafted from Horween® Derby leather, each panel embodies a soft touch with a distinctly rustic appearance. Its distressed yet rich pull-up quality will age gracefully over time, developing a lustrous patina. The cut panels are great for smaller projects that do not require a whole side.

Bloom
If you notice a white powder on your Horween leather, don’t worry—this is called "bloom." Bloom naturally occurs when the oils, waxes, or fats used during the tanning process rise to the surface, especially in cooler storage conditions. This is common in high-quality, full-grain leathers like Horween's Chromexcel.
To remove bloom, simply buff the leather with a soft, dry cloth. A bit of warmth can also help. This is not harmful and is actually a sign of well-crafted leather.
