Thanked: 14As I understand it, real "shell" cordovan is a specific membrane from a horse's behind, which provides two shells of material per horse , just enough for a pair of shoes. There is also some sort of complex six month "magic" tanning involved (there's a short description here from the tannery Shell Cordovan « Horween Leather Company ). So material cost is way high.
