Gentlemen,
In your experience is their no difference between Alden and Alden made for BB in terms of quality standards that Alden sticks to?
Do members have a preference for the Alden cap toe 2160 (color 8) or the Alden for BB on snap last?

Appreciate your observation and preference on the above. Thanks!

BB might be more accommodating in terms of customer service

No quality difference that I could tell.

Thank you very much for your feedback

I wore the 9016 today too uncle. This is the best looking dress shoe in the Alden stable. I think nothing comes close to this black shell beauty when it comes to dress shoes.

Fab choice; Very distinguished looking.

There is no quality difference. While I personally have the color 8 BB version (Snap) of the 2160, a guy can't go wrong with the factory 2160 (Aberdeen) either. I have the Aberdeen version in black shell (2161) and ravello shell (2259).

Perhaps the most accommodating Alden retailer in the market.
