Shell Cordovan Wallet Pron

[Pastor]



How is the quality of Ashland Leather Cordovan Wallet? 
They don't have any other color than black. Also, does any one know what Black (irregular) means?

Thanks

They have a lot of colors besides black. I just bought a Whiskey colored one from them that is currently being sent. Irregular means that their is either a flaw in the leather or in the process of making the wallet.

Thanks. My bad I did not realize.

I am interested in the Johnny the fox -Shell Cordovan Bifold Wallet. It is priced at $225. Is that price reasonable for the quality and workmanship? Is there any other brand for me to compare?

Thanks.

Email the owner Phil (you can contact him through the company website) and let him know what you are looking for. He actually made up a customized version of one of their wallets. It should be here Tue so I'll be able to better comment on quality then. But, I purchased based upon the recommendations of many people on this forum. I looked at several brands and Ashland seemed like one of the best. I'd say that price is about right for a shell wallet. If I'm not mistaken, Allen Edmonds and Brooks Brothers may be higher than Ashland.

Better to pick up a Cordovan wallet from Japan off Rakuten

It would depend on brand / shell. There is a huge range of quality

Cordovan is Cordovan.

It all comes from a Horse's Ass
I don't buy into varying qualities in the leather.

The construction of the wallet, or shoe, or jacket, is what determines the true quality of the piece.

Whether you buy in or not there are different qualities of leather. Also, you must consider the finishing process. This is especially true for shell as it goes through a pretty intense process to become usable. This finishing of the raw material is probably equally on par in importance to the construction quality of the item.

Here is my Ashland Wallet in whiskey shell that I just received yesterday. It's a customized piece that Phil made me. It's their Tony The Ant version without a bill slot. I basically needed just a card holder but I wanted to be abel to carry more cards that the "Little New York" could comfortable hold.

This is ridiculous. I can identify Horween shell from Japanese shell very easily. And with five minutes of observation, anyone could do the same.

I agree, I also believe all leather comes from cows so I personally like to save money and get the one that gets sanded down and finished over. As it doesn't really matter as it's all from a cow!

It looks awesome.

It used less leather and was substantially less in price than the Tony the Any version on their website. I thought it was very reasonable.
