"Natural" Horween leather and patina
So I got a new pair of Chukkas (Timberland boot co Wodehouse) in a natural color. I got a really good deal on these (~$80) but they're in a color I wasn't so sure about - natural. It says they are made of Horween leather but it does not say which variety of leather was used, however it's nice...- J-a-x

For Sale: Alden Plain Toe Shell Cordovan Bluchers in Ravello Brown Size 10.5, Barrie last
These are a pair of used but lovingly and carefully worn plain toe bluchers by Alden - size 10.5. The width says Aa/B but they wear like more of a C width shoe due to some stretching. They are the Barrie last that wears a size larger than it says (so if you normally buy size 11, you want this...- J-a-x

First pair of Allen Edmonds Shell Cordovan shoes - Unsure about the width.
I got them back and the stretch really seemed to work.The leather looks just as good as before but they fit much more comfortably. I should mention they are Aldens not Allen Edmonds. I got two pairs of shoes that month - one Alden and one AE and the Alden is the shell cordovan pair I am...- J-a-x

Johnson & Murphy brown SHELL CORDOVAN Penny Loafers 10.5 C
This is a pair of vintage penny loafers from Johnson & Murphy. They were made in the USA under the "Crown Aristocraft" label. They are in good shape but could use some cleaning and polishing. The soles are not very worn and there's no cracking or tearing of the leather. They're perfectly...- J-a-x

Question about Rancourt Belts. Which one will match my Ravello Aldens the best?
I have a Rancourt shell cordovan belt in caramel which I like a lot and wear with some of my tan brown shoes. I like that belt a lot, the width and buckle style are perfect and the shell looks great, and I'm sure it'll last much longer than my cheap leather belts. I like the look of the belt a...- J-a-x

First pair of Allen Edmonds Shell Cordovan shoes - Unsure about the width.
I took them to get stretched. One shoe came out of the stretcher absolutely perfect (whew) the other one came out still a bit tight so it got a mother round of stretching. I'll pick it up soon and let you guys know how it went. I was unsure about whether to stretch because I didn't know if it...- J-a-x

First pair of Allen Edmonds Shell Cordovan shoes - Unsure about the width.
Thanks guys. It's true Barrie last. There's a cobbler in town who can stretch them a half size. I actually feel like they're fine in the toes and heel and itsnjust sort of the middle width that needs more room. I've read both that shell doesn't stretch and hat shell does stretch so I'm a bit...- J-a-x

First pair of Allen Edmonds Shell Cordovan shoes - Unsure about the width.
Hi everyone, This is my first post on Style Forum! I recently became interested in owning a pair of shell cordovan shoes (partially from wearing shell cordovan watch straps and loving the material). I bought my first pair on eBay (great deal) and put them on and they unfortunately feel a bit...- J-a-x
