High Quality Shoe Leathers

Over the years Sons of Henrey has become known in the industry for our use of unique leathers. Below is a selection of leathers that we frequently use. Every leather type comes in different shaded, so the list is only meant as a material reference list, not colour reference.

 

French Boxcalf

Boxcalf leather on whole skins from Les Tanneriesdu Puy (France). Its smooth and shiny appearance make it perfect for more formal shoes.

Weinheimer Boxcalf

High grade Black boxcalf leather from the world renown Germany tannery Weinheimer GMBH. Reserved for our most formal models.

Repello Suede

A range of high quality, fine-napped calf suede for men’s dress and casual footwear, tanned to give a full, generous handle and rich appearance.

Jamaica Kudu

A leather from world renown tannery CF Stead. It is a new Kudu tannage with embossed and tipped finish that gives the leather a distinctive texture.

Country Calf

French calf leather with pebble like appearance. Used primarily for casual footwear, it stands well to creases and develops a nice patina over time.

Janus Reverse Suede

A production of selected, young calf skins with a luxurious silky suede side and a natural full grain, aniline reverse. Our highest quality suede.

Lama Calf

Lama calf is obtained by naturally shrinking small calf hides. This gives the leather its unique appearance and soft, supple feel.

Castorino Suede

Similar to Janus, this is a full reverse calfskin suede with an aniline full grain back. Together with Janus suede, our highest quality suede on offer.

Utah Calf

A remarkable, vegetable tanned calf skin leather. A mixture of different fats are added to the leather, which gives Utah calf its famous suppleness.


Cordovan

Shell cordovan is a vegetable tanned leather that comes exclusively from a horse butt. It is know for its beautiful lustre and rolling instead of creasing.
