Horween is most famous for is their Shell Cordovan, which is famous among hides for its superior properties. Shell cordovan has a slightly glossy surface, is extremely tough, and will naturally patina over time.  Shell cordovan is densely packed with long fibers, which make it highly flexible, extremely durable, and does not stretch.  This allows for slim, exceptionally comfortable straps, that can readily withstand years of use.
Only the shells, which are two round sections by the horse's hindquarters, become cordovan, hence the name Shell Cordovan. The process starts off with ethically sourced horse hides (no horses are killed for their skins) and then the hides go through a proprietary six-month tanning process, which includes hot stuffing

These unlined straps are a made from a single flexible strip of shell cordovan with off-white double loop stitching to create the attaching loops.  This vintage minimal stitching design can adapt to casual or more formal depending on the watch.  On the underside you will find the logo stamped of the famous Chicago tannery.
