Winter Session, a Colorado-based leather workshop, introduces a new round of shell cordovan wallets produced using Chicago's famed Horween Leather factory. The collection features two styles: a slim-profile Triple Wallet and a three-pocket Snap Wallet.

If you're a regular reader here, you probably see the words "cordovan leather" at least once a day (example 1, 2). So what's the hype? Shell cordovan comes from a very specific part of horsehide -- the animal's rump, to be exact. After a labor-intensive six month process, the final leather is cherished for its smooth glossy surface and potential for incredible wear patterns.

Shop the collection online at Winter Session and make sure to stop by its "Outpost" in Downtown Denver.
