Aero Leather-- what does CXFQ stand for?

[sshack]

Hi, I was just going through the sale items on the Aero website and noticed a few jackets had CXFQ in the main title. Can someone
please explain what CXFQ stands for? Thank you!

Here's Horween's description of Chromexcel - http://horween.com/101/chromexcel-2/ and their description of the difference between front quarter horse, etc - By Request – What’s the Difference?

Ahh.. chromexcel. Got it, thanks. Does Aero sell black FQHH that isn't from Horween Chromexcel? I had always
assumed all black horseleather from Aero was chromexcel Horween.

Though the comments under the Horween article suggest that Aero use a number of tanneries, I would think that's one Holly can answer.

I recall being told that Aero's FQHH is Horween but their MWHH comes from a UK tannery.

Gotta imagine that given the number of jackets they're producing, they'd have to have a few sources for hides.
