HORWEEN SHELL CORDOVAN & CHROMEXCEL
Sleek and modern or old-school cool? Disciplined minimalist or well-prepared packrat?
Ashland Leather has a wallet that fits your lifestyle and keeps the stuff you care about safe and organized.
Just the bare essentials. 2-4 cards and a few bills are all I carry. I value a sleek wallet that doesn't add a lot of bulk to my pocket or break the line of my trousers.
Like a boy scout, I have everything I need wherever I go. I need a larger-capacity wallet that can keep a healthy array of cards, cash and other items in order without bulging.
Horween Leather is famous the world over for its astounding shine, eye-popping colors and the subtle patina that gets better with hard use.
Need a solution to keep keys squared away? A place to dump your pockets at home? Whatever you carry, we've got you covered.
Like a good wine or a dad joke, Ashland Leather just gets better with time. Nuance and character are revealed, tracing a record of the adventures your wallet has been through at your side.
Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan® the most sought after leather for a reason. More than just a color, it is a very specific leather, from a particular part of a horsehide. The irregular oval shaped shells are tanned, stuffed, shaved, and then polished – a process taking at least six months. Each shell is slowly steeped in gentle vegetable liquors. Dyes are hand rubbed on for a deep aniline finish. Finally, the shells are hand glazed to achieve the rich, glossy look and feel prized by fine craftsmen.
Chromexcel is the classic “pull-up” leather meaning that, when folded and flexed, greases that were impregnated into the skin migrate causing a very nice tonal effect. It also has a very bright luster or can be left unpolished to have more of a matte finish look. Chromexcel is a very versatile leather and is often found in boat shoes, classic shoe styles from Alden and Allen Edmonds, and many belts and small leather goods. Chromexcel has a “refined ruggedness” and will quickly develop character and having similar aesthetics to your grandfather’s old wallet very quickly.

"Perfection"
BUGS MORAN | Purchased 01/02/18
"I stumbled on the Ashland website purely by accident, and am glad I did. I ordered the Bugs Moran in a special color -- Amaretto Cordovan. About five weeks after placing my order, I received the completed wallet and it really is perfection.
"The color is amazing, the workmanship is flawless, and this wallet will last a lifetime. Gone are the days of paying for a big name brand wallet that lasts a few years when there is much better quality from purveyors like Ashland."

INSIDE HOOK REVIEW
"We love leather because leather is always at fighting strength.
"If leather were your dad, it'd still wear the same waist size it did playing varsity ball senior year.
"And if it's durable, dependable skins you seek, introduce yourself to Phil Kalas and Dan Cordova, certified hide whisperers at Chicago’s Horween Leather, the oldest working tannery in the U.S."
