Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / Tannery processes | | English term or phrase: shell cordovan | ¿"Shell cordovan" es un tipo de cordobán? ¿O debemos traducirlo simplemente como "cordobán"? He barajado la posibilidad de añadirle "de cuero de caballo" o "de piel de caballo", pero me temo que sería redundante, ya que el cordobán según creo siempre se fabrica con cuero de caballo.
Contexto: "Shell cordovan comes from a horse's hind quarters." |
