Also of note, Horween evidently produces a heavily oiled leather that is manufactured using their Chromexcel recipe, which is also called Kudu. Alden makes some of their Indy boots from this. I just mention it to prevent confusion.
Names are far too often misused in this trade unfortunately and although I have used some ethically sourced exotics over the years, I now stick predominately to Bridle leather and Saddle hide.
Here again I find the terms and names used incorrectly in a regular and misleading way. There are many companies selling 'Bridle Hide' and 'Bridle leather' goods made of leather that would no more resemble true bridle leather than I do. My opinion (for what it is worth ) is that the name should be clearly derived from either the original purpose of the leather or be named after it's former owner.
Keep this great Leather discussion going folks.
Well, you CAN get footwear made from real Kudu:

So it would appear that Horween thought that Kudu would be a catchy name for a softer version of their oiled leather, despite it not coming from an antelope?
