How It's Made: Chromexcel - Nicks Handmade Boots & Horween Leather

[@djswany85]

It's like getting a sneak peak at how things were done in the good ol' days.

Could you imagine the smell of that place? Leather!

I’ve been to that factory several times! The people were so nice. Cool to have a piece of living history there, still working at the trade. Horween also makes all the leather for official Wilson footballs, made in Ada, Ohio, another place I’ve been.

Loving the behind the scenes/ how it’s made on the leathers!

Retired Chicago Police here. I used to work in the District where this facility is and how I wish would have gone inside for a quick visit. I think it would have been pretty cool. I will say that it left a curious odor permeating throughout the immediate area.

That was really interesting. I was torn between wanting to know more about the process verbally or just watching and enjoying the video. Would be nice to have a follow-up video in more detail. Very enjoyable channel to watch when staff display such casual proficiency that the camera can capture what's actually happening as part of the normal production process without disruption.

Much respect for the craft, skill and expertise

Really upping the ante on these videos

Oh man, right now your black chromexcel is on delay. I hope you guys get some soon. I can't wait to get my overlanders!

I always wondered if someone could put a soft Xtratuf sole on a leather upper? I work in the woods in coastal Oregon and the chevron sole is the next best to chalks👍

"Why are excellent quality boots so expensive?" ...because (about) 30 or more people have put their skills into making everything in that boot/shoe before it becomes the most important aspect of your day: your feet!

[@williamconway1287]

I saw your “Worlds Most Expensive Boots “ and was intrigued . I tried to go to your website and wasn’t able to. Just thought you should know as of this date your website is down .

[@nicksboots]

It appears to be up and running for us!

[@moeck14]

Yep, website up and running here as well

Colour No8. The mecca.

[@joehard2928]

I WANT TO WORK AT THE LEATHER PLANT FOR THE "SMELL" ALONE.

[@kurtsalm2155]

You will want to stay on the back end for the finished product to get that amazing leather smell. The smell on the front end where rawhides are received is no place for the squeamish, trust me!

[@TheGunDude]

Would love to hear an explanation

[@Beef5]

Cool video. Also, tell them chop chop with the black and burgundy!
