^I'm with ALB.
Once I have also asked to Shinki and Horween (They were the only two cordovan suppliers AFAIK) and they both said over $100 sq.ft depending on the grade (Better cordovan costs x1.5).
http://vegtan.blogspot.com/2015/08/horween-part4.html
This blog is about the price of cordovan. (Sorry it's in Japanese)
The graph says 2 sq.ft costs $202 in Jun 2014 and I'm very sure the current price is higher.
So I am also very curious about which tannery sells at 40 euro.
Is it really retail price? Have you seen the leather itself? Are there any pictures? Which maker uses that cordovan?
And as ALB said before, there are various interpretations about the word "cordovan".
This is my cordovan shoes.
1950s Town Shoes from Wolverine
It clearly says cordovan.
But people can easily says its not cordovan (both upper and outsole).
This is the ad from 1956 LIFE magazine.
Now and old, cordovan is not always the cordovan like Alden uses, even if horse leather is used.

Warehouse official lucky bag, you pay 10000yen, 30000yen, or 50000yen, then choose your tops size (S,M,L,XL) and bottoms size(28-36).
But some shops allowed bottoms size only S/M/L (maybe 28-30/31-33/34-36), so people might not like the fit and sell them through web auctions.
BTW the quality of luck bag is getting worse and uniform every year, 10+ years ago 10000yen bag occasionally included jacket: today in most cases 10000yen bag consist of 2 t-shirts and 1 trousers/jeans.
And of course, you cannot choose the specific products and the shops want to dispose the unsold/unpopular products; no wonder it's unlucky bag for someone
Below are just guessing:
As for frankenstein jeans, shops and customers (who pay full price) don't like the sample sale and inazuma festival where original jeans are sold at half price or so.
(eg; many complained that Samurai jeans sold their original jeans too much at a low price, today they do not join the inazuma festival.)
That's why warehouse started producing frankenstein jeans and selling them for popularizing purpose.
But I have no doubt about the quality, they are surely produced on the same line.

AFAIK, the pink selvedge denim is for sample-sale, inazuma-festival, and lucky-bag.
Maybe pink selvedge and yellow selvedge are woven at the same factory, but the pink selvedge denim is cheaper and so used for many other brands.
I just googled and found these:

FYI, best way to identify when produced is to have a look at metal parts.
^very first parts (1995-1998).
The button is made of zinc, and rivets are copper.
^1998-2001.
The button is made of iron, and note that the rivet says "K.K." instead of "O.K.".
^2002-
button is iron, and rivets are iron with copper plating.
Button is white-ish rather than silver.
The label with big W is for Warehouse Osaka store in 1997 (not very sure), but also produced for the sample-sale jeans and lucky-bag jeans.
Recently warehouse produces sample jeans with old labels and variety of texture, but old metal parts are not used, afaik.
Hope this helps

Nice article (and your blog too)!
I am also a big fan of Denimba, and I finally bought Bridge 3rd when I went to DenimBridge exhibition in June.

I bought them more than 10 years ago, but I don't wear them since I lost lots of weight.
Also old warehouse clothing fit like true vintage, and so they are too loose (and too long) to me even though I always wear size 14

Thanks!
Yeah, I love bull shippers embroidery!
These are western shirts with same embroidery (in brown and ecru color). so nice!

15 hours ago, Denimstoyevsky said:I had another buyee purchase arrive today. Typically, I'm a dude who buys raw and wears them threadbare, but I really wanted to get a handle on the different denims & cuts Warehouse offers. I dunno, I just got bit by the bug... Anyway, so I guess this is what banner denim looks like when it's all broken in. Gotta say, it feels amazing.
Hi,
These were made roughly 1996-1998.
They are call old buffalo patch model and they are warehouse's 2nd model (very 1st model is called kojima patch model as shown below).
if you find this (see below) tag inside the jeans, then your jeans are probably made around 1996. If not, 1997-1998.
the fabric is 13 3/4 oz, but its texture is much more solid than banner denim.
Thank you,
edit:
found this picture form warehouse web
btw, old buffalo patch is also used for 15th anniversary model in 2010.

Just picked up a pair on the bay straight from Japan and I can't find much info on whether these are newer or pre-lawsuit. I'll try to get some pics up at lunch.
Edit: photos added. Sorry if they're enormous, first time I've used the ew photo upload
Hi,
The jeans are sold at inazuma festival 2015 or lucky bag 2015, either way they are 2015 model.
The fabric seems to be not warehouse original (as the selvedge colour is not yellow), but something like 2nd grade or general purpose product.
Everything else is surely warehouse original.
I have just googled and found the same jeans (it is japanese blog):

Wow finally short horn buffalo patch is back!
I am curious about further details, at least patch seems to be typical deerskin which does not show good aging and so I do not like very much.
Sad they abandoned cowhide patch
And fabric would be banner denim or strong yarn denim ... again
I already have 1001xx, 1001, 1105 and 1000(1000xx).
As you have said, I am full of these fabrics and want new fabric!

been wearing 3rd type jacket for more than 15 years, but still dark.
i love the texture.

I miss those days when brands would put out one-off, humorous (but obviously copyright infringing) Levi's interpretations. Not that they don't do that now, it's just that the the brands are a lot more careful now.
yeah, i have the same feeling.
these jeans remind me the first time i wear repro jeans. it was lvc 1955 model and i was high school student.
i really loved them and worn more than 2 years, then i met warehouse, denime, fullcount.
the more i understand vintage levi and wear non-levi repros, the more i lost my interest towards lvc.
non-levi repro definitely infringe the right, but fabric, needle work, hardware, fading..., everything was vintage levi-ish except the picture on leather patch
sorry if you feel this post is negativism, but the thing is that if lvc make good repro, i buy them unconditionally.
though this has not happened more than 10 years.
I also miss the old days, and my preference is always warehouse or fullcount (denime changed a lot recently).

Fair enough and my apologies if you feel offended.
The blog author Vegtan archives many articles and surely very informative.
As said before, I have never heard of 40 euro sq.ft. That was the point.
105 euro that you linked is very good! Thanks for the website!
And as you said in point c), I am just a customer and I can only say the retail price from the customers point of view.
edit: Thanks to ALB, $66 is definitely competitive!
answer to the add-on:
No, I only asked to two as it was considered the only tanneries handle cordovan.
At the same time, I have talked to the owner of the F.E.W (leather jacket/products company at NewZealand) and he said the same about the cordovan.
I actually have not asked to Shinki and Horween about other tanneries.
