The Material

Why Natural ages so well

Natural Horween® Shell Cordovan is vegetable-tanned for about six months, then curried and hand-glazed at Horween®, so it's self-polishing. The dense fiber resists creasing, so it deepens in tone and builds real luster the more you carry it.

Handcrafted in Chicago. Guaranteed for Life. We stand behind the stitching and leather against coming apart under normal use.
