Recalling the ball you might throw around the backyard, Football Leather is tanned with natural ingredients and has a high textured feel for grip and performance. This is a unique leather to possess and makes a charming gift for those who appreciate sport and quality leather. This leather was developed and produced by Arnold Horween Sr. after playing football professionally and head coaching the Harvard football team. The fine folks at Horween have been producing football leather continuously for more than 70 years.
