@TheMemphisVette I can safely say I haven't heard that word in 50 years. It brings back so many memories of me shopping with my mom.

@PA Mom-mom

used to be a common color in mens leather goods

2 hosts had a challenge with it, so not so common any more

I don't believe they make cordovan sneakers!

I've always loved it. It's so rich compared to the usual brown. Unique and goes with just about everything.

I still have a couple of pairs of cordovan beef roll penny loafers that I wear with ivory or khaki chinos and a navy blue blazer. Cordovan belt, too!

I have seen dress cordovans advertised at Macy's as recently as about three months ago. I have always preferred cordovan shoes with navy blue as opposed to black shoes. With today's style being so informal ( God help me, I went to a wedding and people had carpenter jeans on!) you don't see preppy cordovan as often any more. Classic and timeless, it should be around in some measure for many more years. (Fingers crossed!)

@TheMemphisVette WOW, flash from the past. My dad had cordovan shoes. Brogues. Cordovan shoes are made from horse leather instead of cowhide. My fave color is red, so the cordovan color was right up my alley. My dad was a natty dresser. Rest his soul.

They are still available at Macys. Or at least they were a few years ago. Hubs does not like them try as I might to convince him otherwise. LOL

Cordovan or burgundy shoes are hard to find but I love them. I am needing to replace my burgundy flats and its a challenge. Goes with navy, black, Kiki so well.

Anyone remember Aigneer (?) Back in 70's? Classy leather goods.

@Twins Mom I loved Aigner but their shoes always hurt my feet, darn it!

My late sister liked Aigner bags. I have a couple of her old ones-probably from the 80's.

I caught that too. If I were a host and ran across a word during my preparation that was unfamiliar to me I would look it up.

My ex-husband would sometimes wear cordovan wingtips with his gray suits (and navy blue too if I remember correctly). He was in finance and dressed to impress.

I love cordovan color....so classic and timeless. It is my choice for loafers.

My Bass Weegan Loafers were cordovan and I loved the color.

Etienne Aigner (spelling?) had a lot of shoes and bags in cordovan.

@Twins Mom @Aigner! Wow a blast from the past. I love them. I had the hobo bag with the big a on the front! I carried it for years and then my mom carried it! I love loafers in this color. My penny loafers are this color. Love them! Gonna dig them out this week!

When I hear the word Cordovan, I think of my father and both brothers leather goods, shoes!

I still have several Aigner pieces in that color and I just won't part with them!

@TheMemphisVette - Since Courtney had so much trouble with this word, do the hosts not review anything prior to presenting? She acted like she had never seen the word before.

Amy ALSO mispronounced it. SMH.

NOTE to Courtney and Amy -If you are unsure or unfamiliar with a word's pronounciation, LOOK IT UP in a dictionary for the CORRECT pronunciation.
