Same hide. Two faces. One extraordinary wallet.
No. 57 is a horizontal card holder built from a single Horween shell cordovan hide — but here's what makes it unlike anything else in the series: the two panels are cut from the same piece of leather, one showing the smooth, polished grain side and the other revealing the warm, matte flesh side. Two textures, two tones, one origin.
The result is a quiet, sophisticated contrast — a deep chocolate upper sitting against a warmer chestnut lower, the difference between them not manufactured, not mixed, but natural. This is the same animal, the same hide, the same tannage, just seen from both sides. There's something almost philosophical about that.
Horween shell cordovan is the standard by which all other shell cordovan is measured. Tanned in Chicago by the same family for over a century, it's dense, refined, and built to outlast almost everything else in your life. The Horween stamp visible on the leather isn't decoration — it's provenance. It tells you exactly what you're holding and where it came from.
This piece carries that legacy in a slim, minimal horizontal format — front-pocket ready, understated, and built for decades of daily carry.
No. 57 is one of a kind in the most literal sense. When it's gone, this exact pairing is gone forever.
What makes No. 57 special:
Genuine Horween shell cordovan — grain side and flesh side from the same hide
One-of-one natural two-tone contrast from a single piece of leather
Tonal stitching for a clean, refined finish
Horizontal card holder format — slim, minimal, front-pocket ready
Handcrafted in Canada by a single maker
J.A.B. Leatherworks stamp — your mark of authenticity
Ready to ship. Truly one of a kind.
