      Horween materials are exclusive and heavily in demand, especially their top-tier Shell Cordovan range. Through our commitment to only work with the very best, we’ve built strong relationships with tanneries and local leather merchants which has allowed us access to some of their most sought after, premium materials, and a few rare exclusives in short supply. Throughout the seasons we will be launching short run batches of ‘Shell Cordovan Specials’, focusing on unique colours and finishes not readily available in the marketplace. Please be aware that these special drops will only be available in short runs of 20-30 pairs, all individually hand numbered. Once the stock is gone, it will likely be gone for good, unless we can source another batch. Available quantities will be listed on each Shell Special product page and they will be released throughout the year.

      Shell Cordovan is the jewel in the Horween Company's Crown and is seen by many as the very best leather in the world. Each shell is oval in shape and made from a specific part of a horsehide. It is then expertly tanned, stuffed, shaved and polished by hand to reveal the distinctive glossy signature finish that Shell Cordovan displays. These highly skilled processes take at least six months to complete, are unique to Horween Company practices, and what makes Shell Cordovan so well regarded amongst fine leather craftsmen. When wearing premium leather from the world-famous Horween leather company in Chicago, USA, you go on a journey. Founded in 1905, Horween's secret blend of natural oils and family processes have been passed down through the generations. All Horween leathers are known for their extreme longevity, that wears in over time, creating beautifully unique patinas. Crown Northampton are honoured to work with leathers from the world class Horween Company tannery, especially their prized Shell Cordovan.

      The four main shoemaking stages once an order is placed...

      Clicking

      The ‘clicking’ or cutting process as it is also known is the very start of your shoes being made, the leather is cut into the shapes that make up your silhouette either by hand or on a press.

      Closing

      Once all the components of the shoe are cut they go through several processes that are essential to the construction then they are sewn together to make the upper.

      Lasting

      A last is a template form that is unique to each shoe size and style, the upper is pulled onto the last to give it the final shape of the shoe ready for a sole to be fitted. Once the sole is fitted the shoe will have it’s complete form.

      Shoe Rooming

      The final stage of the factory process your shoes go through the hands of our quality checkers and the finish is applied to the leather or suede to finish the shoe and ensure it looks it’s absolute best.
