Such a great video, Phil. Fantastic descriptions, and the behind-the-scenes footage takes this to another level. Thanks for taking the extra time, and making the extra effort ... we appreciate it.
I was on the fence about picking one up since I got one recently but I couldn’t pass up on the raw natural shell. Can’t wait for it to come!
You wont regret it ... awesome stuff!!!
Love the look.
Hi, I'd like to see how dark skin tones change over time, for example: Horween Shell Cordovan Armagnac or Horween Shell Cordovan Marble #8.
Will light colors be visible on them or will they become a uniform dark color? Could you make a video about patina on dark leathers?
I think patina always makes leather darker.
Crazy patina, can’t wait to get me one
I have a natural notebook cover and I put... a few layers of mink oil and Renapur leather cream on it to soften it but also attempt to darken it quickly, but it only darkened a shade. It's waterproof too, I think. Will I still be able to age it and patina it and get it darker over time? Or did I maybe overprotect it with these conditioners?
What leather is your notebook cover? My general guidance is don't put any product on the leather unless it needs it. I also have had very bad experience with waterproofing products and avoid them fully
@@AshlandLeather Italian vaschetta leather.
@@deepforestfire My suggestion is to do as little as possible and keep the natural look and feel of the leather. If you have a soft horsehair brush you can try brushing it. If it feels dry I would use a light conditioner
With all these wallets, where would I keep my coins?
your pocket
Holy smokes this is an amazing video. Thank you Phil for taking the time to show all us ash hats a thing or 2 about shell cordovan.
Please tell me where do they get all these horse butt leather from? I hope the horses were not harmed.
horses are killed and farmed all the time, just like cows and goats are.
In Canada you can grab horse meat right off the shelf.

Never wear your wallet in your back pocket! You will have serious back problems!
Really how so?
Yeah 😢 my accident
Learned that the hard way. Broke my cards, and nearly my back. Maybe not my back, but the misalignment was pain that wouldn’t go away from a long time.
this is awesome man,i think this is the best channel of leather explanation.
Believe it or not Ashland but the stripping and especially that slap given at 8:05 is the most important part of process
Are they waxed occasionally?
I like the raw look, of the shell Cordovan, honestly. It’s beautiful. Those knives, are incredible. I want those trimmings.
This was awesome, thank you!
Shell cordovan or chromeexcel better?
no
Take a shot every time he says "Shell Cordovan"
Just bought one, really excited to have it patina with me for my life :D
I can see why leather is dyed. I wouldn't want such a drastic color shift.
What's the difference between raw natural shell cordovan and natural shell cordovan?
The raw natural is not polished by the tannery. As a result, the luster is much less shiny and the color is a bit lighter. Raw shell has more potential to develop a dramatic patina
I really love those raw natural fat herbie and the FTE too. Also, quick question, what camera/lens are you using? I'm trying to start selling some leather working I've been doing and really like the quality of the images/video you're producing :)
canon EOS R6 with the 35mm 1.8
What a great video. I've never been a huge fan of Ashland because of the machine stitching, but I just may need to buy a wallet from them.
Buy the leather and make one yourself, it’s so cool. I highly recommend it.
