THE LEATHER Cypress is a newer tannage from Chicago's Horween Tannery, taking elements we love from their Dublin and Predator leathers. Cypress is combination tanned, with a heavy vegetable retan process. Cut at a full 6 ounces, these boots are obviously substantial, but subtleties in the tanning make for a shortened break-in time. In terms of the color, Natural Cypress is a beautiful tan, almost a mellow honey with a good amount of pull-up. This leather is tanned so that it may evolve and burnish over time, taking all the missteps and stubbed toes with grace. If you can't get enough about Natural Cypress, read our Leather Notes about it here for more details.
