Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan - Color #8

[bisonmade]

I have 9 shells available. Each are grade #2. They are uncut and perfect as from the tannery. $175 each.

[Greystone]

Size?

What cut are they?

I'm, not sure by your description, shoulder back butt?

[Andrew Chee]

What's the thicknesses you have in the shells?

These are Color #8 which is the standard/classic Maroon cordovan color. The thickness is around 4oz. Best Regards, Sebastian

Greystone, just FYI, there is no "cut" for shell cordovan. They are all the same cut. They are ovals cut from the buttcheeks of a horse. The grades refer to to the usable size of the shells.

Thanks for clarification of terms .. BUTT,,,

does "The grades refer to to the usable size of the shells."

if grade 2 does that translate to 2 sq ft

Sorry for the Q's better asked than not happy with the end results

Again thanks David

No, grades do not work like that. Horween has a strange grading system for their shells:

Grade #1: 2.75 SF

Grade X: 2.25 SF

Grade #2: 1.75 SF

Grade #3: 1.50 SF

Grade #4: 1.25 SF

Grade #5: 1.00 SF

Chips: 1 SF and under

They do not sell their shells by the square feet. The larger the shells, the more expensive they are (when calculated by square footage). I guess it makes sense since the larger shells are more rare then the smaller ones.
