Shell Cordovan leather belts. This is a rare product because you have to cut a very long blank to make the belt. All the pieces of Shell Cordovan are small, their length is not sufficient for a belt.
The Leathercraftsman has two options:
- He joins two blanks together to make one long blank. At the same time, the splicing deteriorates the appearance of the belt.
- Order a Cordovan double “shells” from a leather brand (or reseller). But there won’t be a layer of “cartilage” in the middle. It is this layer that gives Cordovan Shell its strength and durability.
In the comments section we will publish information about Leathercraftsmans who make bespoke Shell Cordovan belts.
