| Cordovan Leather belts and shoes are a statement of enduring style and timeless
design. By Dennis Dann, Dann Men's Clothing, www.Dann-Online.com
Anytime anything is limited or difficult to obtain, everyone wants it. Anything in
Genuine Shell Cordovan leather fits into this catagory.
The Hand-finishing and pure vegtable tanning process that takes 6 months to
complete is indeed a centuries old method. The leather which this produces should last 10
to 15 years. It shines beautifully and develops an even better patina with
age(particularly the Burgandy "Cordovan" color). This is not a high-volume
process........one that is truly an art.......and more reminiscent of the days of cobblers
making a single pair of shoes by hand. Water does not easily penetrate so it makes for a
very durable leather shoe.
As a longtime retailer, I have had the pleasure of sharing the wonderful Shoes,
Belts, Belt straps and sometimes nice desk accessories &
briefbags that are made from the highly prized skins. I know how difficult they are
to get..........the long waits we have had over the years for the items........and the
truly limited nature of the skin. I have a pair of Black Tuxedo Shoes in Shell Cordovan
from a million years ago (1967)...........still in my closet...........still look
fantastic when I wear them.
What does Shell Cordovan go with ? Dressy...........Classic........Timeless.
We carry shoes with Tassles, Monk Strap, Slip-ons and Lace-up Oxfords on our website
and are shipping them around the world. There are belts to match........in Black or
Cordovan color........nickle buckle (which is more contemporary) or gold buckle.
The style is timeless...............and truly enduring. Cordovan items are repaired,
refurbished over time........and even passed down. Special, upscale customers understand
all of this. This is not "for the minute" fashion. These are not inexpensive
items but could give you a lifetime of use.
