Oh, oh--I forgot to mention!
For all those who see everyone else here going gaga over the use of "Shell Cordovan" in these wallets, but don't actually know what Shell Cordovan is (but who would like to know before they send MD a hundred clams), I suggest you ask these fine fellows--who, as it turns out, happen to be experts on the subject!

RayFYou answered your own question. You're right, we don't kill horses for their meat. That's why any production of shell cordovan is a byproduct of horses that died due to other reasons. Kind of explains why shell is so expensive! Additionally, each horse only produces a small quantity, and finally, it takes a long time to tan properly. But as far as leather goes, shell is absolutely worth it. It's gorgeous and insanely durable.
