In this video I am making a gentleman's coin wallet from Horween shell cordovan which is one of the most expensive leathers in the world!
Horween is one of the oldest tanneries in the US and one of only a handful of tanneries producing shell cordovan world wide.
Shell cordovan is made from a particular part of a horse hide and is very costly due to the low yield. Each hide produces two shells of just over 2 square feet each. That's not much when you consider that a whole cowhide might produce closer to 50 square feet of leather!

I actually could smell that leather...
maybe your best video to date, and I've seen them all!
Thank you very much
That shell cordovan wallet Ian made is nothing short of spectacular
I used to go to Horween Leather in Chicago, and hand pick out hard rolled horse hide butt strips for making belts. It's a by-product of cutting out the cordovan shells. They make official NFL football leather too. I like how you patterned the Horween logo inside the wallet.
A true pleasure to watch. Such satisfaction from simply seeing this being put together. It brought a smile to my face today. Thanks for this!!
Wow, the craftsmanship, the leather, the video... very well done. Thanks for putting so much effort into your craft and video's so we can enjoy and learn.

Be proud, be very proud.

Yes it's a cutting die, I only have that one! Some of the wallets I've been doing have 8 of those pieces in and they need to line up well and be identical so it made sense to get a die made.
