The Shell Cordovan, non-Alden Shoe and Boot Thread

[EZB]

Hey guys, cross posting this from: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/antonio-meccariello-shoes.316071/page-383

Hello everyone, i mailed Antonio Meccariello recently about wether hed be interested in trying to create a pair of seamless cordovan wholecuts. His team responeded that he would be willing to try to see if he could make this, but that he would need some cordovan sent to him. They also asked if anyone would really be interested in buying this if it came out a success, so i thought i'd ask here, where i have learned a whole lot of all i know about shoes and cobblers.

What do you guys think, would anyone be interested in this, also does anyone know of a good place to buy horween cordovan?

What color?

I was thinking black

Mmm. I have a black calf wholecut. I can see the appeal, but too duplicative for me.

Curious about your thoughts on these given your extensive collection. Thinking about picking up a pair 2nd hand.

I love these. I really like the pattern and how the Lindrick fits. I’d say a definite yes.

Awesome! I like how dark they've gotten

Thank you!

I’ve worn my pair around 20-25 times. With patina/darkening it’s always ymmv and depends on the color starting out. Horween Whiskey tends to vary a bit.

Gents, I am done with Cordovan! I have a range of C&J shoes made for Ralph Lauren in size 11D (Marlow wingtips and PTB, penny and tassel loafers, a pair of boots, etc.) I am thinking to move them, pm me if you are interested to purchase.
thanks.

Might I inquire as to why one would be done with Cordovan?
