Hadley-Roma MS2050 Horween Shell Cordovan Leather Vintage-Style Watch Strap

Description

Genuine Shell Cordovan is the art of tanning at its finest from a particular part of a horsehide. The hides are tanned, stuffed, shaved, and then polished - a process taking at least six months. Each shell is hand curried and shaved by highly skilled artisans to expose the shell. Dyes are hand rubbed on for a deep aniline finish. Finally, the shells are hand glazed to achieve the rich, glossy look and feel prized by fine craftsmen. Each Strap is hand-made in the USA by skilled leather crafters at Hadley-Roma. Each strap meets several exacting standards but is unique to the leather section chosen for the initial cut. This strap is one piece of leather, with no lining leather. The top side of the strap is the finished side of the leather and the bottom side is the natural underside of the original hide. This is a true vintage-design watch strap, made by the same process used in early watch straps over 100 years ago.
