Other Alden Shell Cordovan Shades

Alden also offers two more "exotic" colors of shell cordovan, in addition to Cigar, #8 and Black that were shown previously. The first is a medium redish brown called Ravello

Alden Ravello Long Wing Blucher

The second, and most "exotic" color is a shade of tan called Whiskey.  Being the lightest color, Whiskey requires the most perfect shells, as not even slight imperfections can be covered up through the dying process.

Alden Whiskey Plain Toe Blucher

Very, very rarely does Alden produce a cinnamon red color known as #4.  This color is extremely hard to get, and is only awarded to Alden's most valuable retailers.  It only comes about once every few years.
