Cordovan Cordovan

Cordovan - Definition and Overview

Cordovan shoe leather is regarded as the most luxurious and durable leather available. The cost of this leather is high due to its limited supply. Made from the rump of a horse, only two or three pair of shoes can be made from a single hide. With proper care, a well made pair of cordovan shoes can last a lifetime, with improving patina and luster throughout its life.

Cordovan is a corruption of the word Cordoba.
