RIDGETOP STITCH (HORWEEN Natural shell cordovan)

Made with Glazed natural HORWEEN shell cordovan. 
 
Designed to fit standard aviator frames.
 
Using extremely durable UV resistant waxed threads (navy, red and leaf), this case is hand cross-stitched, which takes more than twice as much time as the saddle stitch takes.  The hand cross-stitch also requires two to three times as much thread as the saddle stitch requires. 
 
Brass hardware.  All edges are hand-burnished.
