Can you tell me more about your experience? How many years it's lasted, got pic ? I'm actually thinking of a shiny finish because titanium has a dull grey and I think a shiny finish might do good.

Check out the horween straps by SNPR.

Discounts

I'm thinking of this black

I don't own any shell cordovan straps but I do own a Horween shell cordovan wallet. It's really tough as hell. You'll literally need to take knife/scissors to cut it if you want to destroy it. After trying shell cordovan, the other leather wallets don't really appeal to me anymore. You can give me LV, BV, Gucci, Prada etc and I still won't budge.

The shell cordovan is most commonly available in black and #8, a burgundy sort of color. Once in a blue moon rarer colors do appear on the market or certain makers may have special arrangements with Horween. If you ever see like green or navy shell cordovan, I'll snap it up if you don't. :s13:

^BTW, the strap your posted is a chromexcel which is not shell cordovan. Chromexcel is another category of treated leather which comes in pretty exotic colors too. Horween is the tannery while shell cordovan refers to the horse posterior (butt) leather so they are always available only in 2 pieces per horse, hence the high premium for the shells. Here's something from Daluca straps.

To explain to everyone who missed the fun back around 20+ pages:

Oh my god = hou mai dog (gaoxing language)
Hou mai dog = hold my hotdog (yatto interpretation)

This statement should stand true.

Given scenario:
Guy to girl: please hold my hotdog~!!!
Girl to guy: oh my god~!!!

Cheers :D
