On the matter of C&J Shell Cordovan footwear, one thing I love about this range is how light weight they are when compared with other high end makes. I don't know how C&J achieve this, since they use the same Horween shells as other makers, but it is something I like very much.
I've wondered the same about why certain companies are able to charge less than others for cordovan. In terms of Horween's cordovan grades, there isn't much (if any) variation between what a RTW GYW company uses and what a Bespoke maker uses. I believe only Alden (also AE but not as well versed in their prices) offers a more inexpensive option on cordovan footwear than CJ.
