Some colours just belong in leather.
No. 56 is a vertical three-pocket card holder cut from Rocado shell cordovan in a warm, burnished cognac — the kind of red-brown that feels like it was pulled straight from a saddlery a century ago and handed to someone who knew exactly what to do with it. But look closer, because this piece has a story in its construction.
The upper panel is smooth and glassy, that classic shell cordovan surface that catches light like polished stone. The lower panel shifts to a fine crosshatch texture — structured and tactile, a grid-like surface that adds grip, depth, and quiet visual interest without competing with the colour. Tonal stitching runs the seam between them, unhurried and precise.
It's a combination that feels both traditional and considered. The kind of piece a person carries for twenty years and never thinks about replacing — because why would you?
Rocado shell cordovan is among the finest available in the world. Dense and resilient, it holds its structure without stiffness and develops a deep, glowing patina with time. This cognac will only get richer. The texture will soften just enough. The piece will settle into your pocket like it was made for it — because it was.
One maker. One piece. One chance.
What makes No. 56 special:
Genuine Rocado shell cordovan — smooth cognac upper, crosshatch-textured lower
One-of-one tonal two-texture contrast combination
Tonal stitching for a clean, classic finish
Vertical three-pocket format — organized carry, minimal footprint
Handcrafted in Canada by a single maker
J.A.B. Leatherworks stamp — your mark of authenticity
Ready to ship. Truly one of a kind.
