Leather Quality and Properties
My guess is that you have a piece of shell cordovan from Shinki or maybe Comipel. My understanding is that both Shinki and Comipel skive their shell down to a consistent thickness, though @Deusis would probably be the best to comment on this. I have a couple of shells from Shinki that I got...- amlai

The Ultimate "HARDCORE" Shoe Appreciation Thread (Bespoke only)
I've only had bespoke shoes from JP Myhre, so I can't compare the fit to any other bespoke shoemaker, but in my experience, they're the best fitting shoes I own, by far. (Though, I will admit that I thought our first pair was just simply too tight, but I think that is a matter of personal...- amlai

The Ultimate "HARDCORE" Shoe Appreciation Thread (Bespoke only)
I recently got another pair from JP Myhre. For this pair, we had my previous last copied and he made some minor fit adjustments and narrowed the toe.

Leather Quality and Properties
The reason for that is that, if I understand correctly, Wolverine used to use all of the layers of the shell area, and not just the middle layer that we today use for shell cordovan. There's an epidermis layer above and below the shell membrane. Wolverine used all 3 layers in their work...- amlai

Red Wings GT vs. Alden Indy (with pics)
Any of the shell cordovan Indys will be in non-contrasting stitching. You might want to shoot Tom at LeatherSoul an email to see if he has anything in stock. ShoeMart looks like they have something. Alden SF might have something as well. They had a #8 Indy when I was in the store in March.- amlai

Flat Head 3001 12 Months / 8 months of actual wear / 3 Washes / Retired Note: The crotch did not blow out by itself, an unnamed Superfuture member "grabbed" at my crotch at the SEXSF Party at the end of the night and tore my cross-stitch region open.
