Ah ok. So it’s a case by case basis. Thanks!

it really is, unfortunately, but snuff of all shades is quite excellent IMO

I agree. I do like the lighter ones more though as I think it’d pop better with black jeans and charcoal wool pants. So I’m just seeing what’s available.

Ah I see what JSO1 is referring to. Slight variation but they all look great ?

According to Google, there are 25 million sellers, with 335K-485K being "top-rated". So no, I don't think there's a list compiled.

the original question was about eBay sellers of Alden shoes. Thanks for your response.

Yup. My LHS ads in a forth variation too

There's no true eBay retail stores for Alden; basically all individual sales.

I'm sure any one of those 335K-485K top-rated sellers could potentially have a pair of Aldens for sale.

Cross-posted from AE thread:

Little did I think, a year ago, that I would have acquired so many shoes and boots in such a short period of time. In fact, a year ago, I'm not sure I thought I'd acquire any more shoes and boots than I already had.

You see, up until about a year and a half ago, I had a very small collection of footwear: two pair of dress shoes, a pair of loafers, a pair of boots, a pair of driving moccasins, and three pair of New Balance 928s (and some other odds and ends that never got worn outside of the house or the back yard). My usual outfit back then was jeans and sneakers, with a polo in the warmer weather, and a flannel shirt in the colder weather.

The I joined Styleforum.

Now I have a small army of shoes and boots, pretty much all of them acquired since joining this forum, a year ago today.

And so, this is my first annual "State of the Collection" post, with a picture of the collection as of this morning:

Back Row:

AE Brown CXL Higgins Mill
Viberg x Division Road Arabica Calf Suede Derby Boot
AE Brown Sonoma Surrey Chukka
Viberg x Division Road Oiled Mocha Rowdy Horsebutt Service Boot
Grant Stone Dark Chestnut CXL Diesel
AE Tan Sonoma Surrey Cap-Toe
AE Chili Shell Fifth Street

Middle Row:

Meccariello Castagna Baby Box Calf Decurion 3
Alden 983 Burnished Tan Calfskin LHS
AE Coffee McAllister
Rancourt Natty CXL Driving Moccasin
Grant Stone Bourbon Suede Leo LWB
AE Navy/Brown Boulder Driving Moccasin
Alden x Moulded Shoe Color 8 LWB on Commando

Front Row:

Alden 994 Color 8 Traditional Saddle Oxford
Alden x Leffot Blue Suede NST
AE Walnut Bartlett
AE Black Cherry Shell Bristol
AE Walnut Mackenzie
AE Black Hopkinson
Alden x Brick + Mortar Unlined Color 8 Dover

Not pictured (because symmetry, and not in the regular rotation):

AE Brown Fenway
Brooks Brothers Burgundy Tassel Loafer

Not pictured (because they haven't arrived yet):

AE Brown Tumbled Leather Tupelo
Alden x B+M Snuff Suede "Marvaments" Straight Tip Boot
Alden x B+M Color 8 Tanker Boot
Alden x Sherman Brothers Earth Chamois Indy Boot

NOTE: Before I joined Styleforum, I had three of the shoes/boots pictured above: the Alden 994s, the AE Higgins Mills, and the AE Boulders. All of the others have been acquired in the past year.

Next year, I'll probably have to break the collection up into multiple pictures. Or get a taller ladder...
