guidi does not produce, nor use shell cordovan. Horween is the only tannery to still produce shell cordovan. "cordovan" is thrown around because it's sexier than "horse." Whenever carpe diem or layer-0 used shell, it was horween.
well cordovan is horse, so saying it looks like horse and not cordovan makes no sense. it's like saying "looks like footwear, not boots"
shell cordovan is horse, but horse is not shell cordovan.
would you like an SZ style graph?
EquusI'm going to be asinine here and say that when we're talking about shoe leather, we can agree that horse leather is not the same thing as cordovan leather, so A does not include B.
Similarly, calf leather is not cow leather. Maybe we could call them under the umbrella of "bovine leather". What's the latin for horse? cbf googling.
This is all very good thesis procrastination, btw.
Okay well, since they are horse, not cordovan...what do you think of them?
