A look at brown chromexcel

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:

I also showed Viberg boots, shop them here:

those indy boots aged well. thanks for the video and Happy New Year!

[TheSilentsniper]

very nice video i really love the thorogoods. i have the plain ones and together with the indy boots my favorite pair

[lancerhardy]

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

[grahamnewsome]

Nice video. Like the Trex deck as well.

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

Essex is a vegetable tannage where as Chromexcel is a combination tannage. It has barely any pull up compared to Chromexcel.

You gotta try Nicks, its on a different level.

I noticed you dont have to your collections the Allen Edmunds Higgins mill boots?

[pwrmx]

Thanks for the video. Are those Alden 95080s?

[TrojanMars]

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?

[trentclark]

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 YouTubers 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 :)

To bro where did u custom made the leather bag? The chromexcel seems much better than the boots

[WelderVp]

Are those cxl cowhide or cxl horsehide

[franciscorogel]

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

[hyssean]

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.

[charlesbronson]

Fun fact: chromexcel is corrected grain leather not full grain.

Imagine having the same pair of shoes six times
