In Reply to: Alden question for Indiana John... posted by Patterson on January 27, 2000 at 18:16:43:
: I've noticed your comparison of your new Alden's vs. an older pair; your new pair is lighter then the older ones. When did you purchase the new ones? Did you purchase them from the retail store in San Francisco?
: I ask because I've just ordered a second pair. The first pair was purchased from the SF store, but they were shipped out of New England. That was last May. The pair I just ordered from SF has been shipped out of their own stock. Getting to why I'm asking all this; my current pair look like the old ones you have pictured on IndyGear, i.e. they are a darker reddish brown. I'm wondering if I'm going to receive lighter ones like those new ones you have pictured.
: I'm wondering if my first pair was shipped out of back stock in NE, i.e. that they might have been older boots.
: Just curious.
: Cheers!

I got my Alden's over Christmas break, and I have no f'n idea where they came from. All that I know is that they are reddish brown, and I am trying to get them the khaki-brown color that Dr. Jones has.
