Made entirely of Horween Cordovan

For the lining of our Cordovan strap, we use the underside of the Horween Shell Cordovan, which is also known for its exceptional quality and special structure. This underside has a soft, smooth surface and gives the strap a noble feel. It is not only visually appealing, but also skin-friendly and very comfortable to wear.

The lining leather is vegetable tanned, which means that it is processed without the use of harmful chemicals. This gentle tanning contributes to the longevity of the leather and makes it particularly pleasant for direct contact with the skin. By using the underside of the Shell Cordovan, we offer you an additional piece of luxury and craftsmanship that makes each strap even more exclusive and high-quality.

Meeting with Arnold "Skip" Horween III

Recently I had the great pleasure of meeting Arnold "Skip" Horween III, President of Horween Leather. My father has known him for many years and now I had the privilege of meeting him as well.

Skip is an extremely likeable and pleasant person - open and warm in every respect. During our conversation we learned a lot about the history and values ​​of his traditional tannery. As we left, he gave us both a Horween T-shirt as a greeting to Germany, which we were very pleased about. This meeting was really a special experience and left a lasting impression!
