Chrome tan, not salt cure. It means the same thing, but the terminology isn't quite right. Think of it like magazines and clips. Fundamentally the same thing, but different applications.I tend to avoid Mexican leather as I have found a lot of it to be salt cured and still leeches salt as a finished product.
It is a shame because there were some Mexican boots that I loved (Crown) but they sensed to crack and be short lived.
I've never heard that, not in all my years travelling the republic. I'll just have to take your word.Chrome tanned holsters will get loose and floppy, especially if you oil them. For holsters you want vegetable tanned. Some cheap Mexican leather is urine tanned. It will stink to high heaven if you get it wet.

If you're ever in Mexico city, make your way to Tezontepec, a Villa known for leather and hides. I bought a Peloguayo hide there, absolutely beautiful and warm.
