Leather is absolutely classic for an Apple Watch band. But do you know what’s even better? Horween leather. And Olpr. Leather Goods offers a great one in a gray color that should develop a character-rich patina over time.
Check out the excellent band in the Cult of Mac Store.
Olpr. Leather Goods Co. Gray Italian Leather Apple Watch Band
Olpr. Leather Goods Co. is known for its quality leather products.
The gray band is hand-crafted from two-sided genuine Italian leather from the famous Horween Leather Company in Chicago.
The more-than-a-century-old Horween Leather Company crafts its bands for premium quality. Horween Chromexel is made of the upper part of the hide without any polishing or sanding.
“[That] gives the best full grain leather type with undeniable durability and unique pattern. Chromexel has [an] oily finish and develops natural patina with use,” Olpr said.
