Shell Cordovan Aging: Ravello Grained Shell

Part III: No Talk - This is one of my most "exotic" Alden Cordovan shoes: It's a Leisure Handsewn Penny Loafer made of (Pebble-) Grained Shell Cordovan in Ravello. This leather happens to be ultra rare, expecially in Ravello. Some guys dont like the look of grained shell, but to me I kinda like on those loafers. However, they haven't seen any wear for few years now. I bought them in 2003, the Model number is 6752, the heels have been replaced a few years ago.
