Cognac is something rather special. It is a shell cordovan leather produced by Chicago based tannery Horween, but unlike most shell cordovan they produce this has been given a hatch grain imprint. I managed to secure a small quantity of this leather in their classic “number 8” colour (a rich reddish brown / burgundy), and it makes a fabulous watch strap.

Please note – all the shell cordovan leather I use comes from the Horween tannery in the USA

Straps produced with Cognac leather will be approx 4mm thick and are priced as follows:

£130 with a free spring bar buckle
£135 with a sewn in buckle
£140 with a screw bar buckle
