ITEM OVERVIEW
The Alden M1602C is a Kettner of Germany special makeup
derived from the brand's widely acclaimed 22220 NST
reference — a commission that takes one of Alden's most
beloved silhouettes and refines it further through MTO
specification. The result is a shoe that does not exist
through standard Alden retail channels and cannot be
replicated outside of the original commission context,
lending it genuine rarity beyond the already limited
production volumes of cigar shell cordovan.

Cigar is among the most coveted of Alden's proprietary
colorways worldwide — an Alden-exclusive patent color
sourced from Horween that no competing shoemaker can
offer. Its deep dark brown at retail evolves with wear
and conditioning, making each pair's long-term character
entirely its own. The NST hand-sewn split toe detail —
shared with Alden's Tanker boot — adds a robustly
crafted, artisanal dimension to the shoe's already
distinguished profile.

The Aberdeen last's elongated, dressy silhouette in
E-width is a particularly considered specification
choice: the slim last retains its elegant bearing while
the wider fitting accommodates a broader range of foot
profiles comfortably. The commando outsole completes a
shoe built equally for long-term wearability and
considered style. For the serious Alden collector or
cordovan enthusiast, the M1602C in cigar shell
represents one of the more compelling MTO references
currently available on the secondary market.
