Difference

Rarer and more labor intensive than leather made from cowhide, shell cordovan is made from the hindquarters of a horsehide. Fine men's shoe designers have a long history of selecting this high end leather for their wares. With exceptional durability, pores that are invisible to the naked eye, and water resistance, shell cordovan develops a beautiful patina over time. "Shell" in the name references the hindquarter of a horsehide that has been split horizontally to remove the grain while "Cordovan" is derived from the city of Cordoba in Spain, a center for leather tanning with its roots stemming from the 8th century.
