I found these New old stock alligator Chesters from Allen Edmonds. Made in 2004. Totally off topic, but I wanted to share. So this raises the question: Did/does Alden use any exotic leathers? I have only see calf, suede and shell.
Someone shared an old ad for Alden alligator shoes. I believe they were tassel loafers and came in blue and black. I believe the price was around $60 - about twice the price for the calfskin. I want to say it was @kleinbrett on instagram.

The team at Grant Stone have absolutely outdone themselves this time. Let me introduce their latest masterpiece!!!
"Shell of the Joker", aka "None More Green", or even "Why So Serious?"...
Shoe Appreciation needs no spoiler.

Extremely well executed. Another collector’s piece in wearable art. Congrats!
