Alden 403 vs. AB Aldens Pics

[Nightgoat]

I was wondering if I could get some owners of 403s and AB Aldens to post up some pics of their boots as a comparison. I have a pair of 405s but am just sick to death of the color and trying to get the brickishness out of em and darken them up. So I am torn between buying a pair of 403s or AB Aldens. The 403s are much closer in color to what I would like in some photos but not in others (lighting obviously) while the ABs are suppose to be the exact SA color but are so pricey I'm not sure it's worth the extra bucks. What I'm really interested in are some pics of 403s and ABs that are already broken in a bit (or a lot) to see what they actually look like after some wear. I've seen plenty of pics of brand new ones so that won't really help. Plus it'll be fun for everyone just to show off their boots! Any takers?

Come on, no one has any pics of broken in AB or 403 Aldens to post up?

These aren't mine (however much I wish it), but I found the link the other day. These 403s look amazing. Sorry - no AB pics available!

Apologies all around: these are NOT 403s, but the Ultimate Indy Boot. They still look awesome.

Just discovered this thread as I don't get on the forums near as much as I used to these days...

Anyway here is an old pic I took of my 405's, AB's, and Custom "Pumpkin" Orange 405's...Might be what you were looking for but I'd be more than happy to take some more pics for you if you like...

Also I do have more pics posted up over inside this thread as well...

Thanks, sneakertinker. I had already come across that thread and seen all the pics you put up. It does help just to see any pics of the AB boots but what I would really like to see is a picture of some AB boots that have been nice and worn in. Yours are beautiful boots, no doubt, but they still appear almost brand new. I really want to know if, with natural distressing, the AB boots will end up looking like close to this:
