The Shell Cordovan, non-Alden Shoe and Boot Thread

[Encore]

Hi guys, I am trying to understand which brands are carrying hatch grain shell cordovan?

I know EB, ACME do, are there any other brands offering it?

Thanks!

The hatch grain shell is coming out of Horween. I think you may be able to MTO something from GG in it and Carmina may have access as well (they recently had a couple hides of textured shell though I can't recall if it was just football print)

Assume it's EG's cognac color, if so that's pretty cool. Don't see anything up on his website though

Stefan's still in the interest check stage. He's contacted me on IG and by email (I ordered my whiskey Galway from him when he was with Skomaker Dagestad)

Thanks for the info @flylikeneagle. I just reached out to him via DM as I would absolutely be interested in this.

Should be an awesome makeup Shawn! Stefan's also a very good person to work with and a good communicator, highly recommend him based on my personal experience.

Does anybody have any hatch grain cordovan old enough to have patinaed? I'm curious to see how it ages.
Also, how does it stand up in rain?

I cease to be amazed by the recuperative powers of shell. Grabbed these AE Randolph's off the bay at a pretty good price. As is displayed below, they we're not very appealing at all........

After 15 minutes of care, this is how they look now.......
