Addict Japan
Recently bought a jacket from Addict… I don’t usually write things like this but felt compelled.. I’ve had all the big hitting jacket but this is by far the best in my opinion..
Pattern.. quality… price point… it’s the best.
This pic is a free a week of hard wear.. it’s the AD 01 in teacore sheepskin… sometimes wearing Horsehide gets old so fancied a change.

Red Wing Pecos 10.5 2E Rare Russet Color
Up for grabs are these Pecos in a colour that I personally haven’t seen before. Got light use and in my opinion for more like 1E than a 2E. Just don’t work for my foot type.

Viberg 310 Service Boots Size 9
Thanks for looking at my Vibergs. These are in a lovely dark Olive green.
Here’s what EastWest Apparel say about these.
The 310 Service Boots from Viberg are quite simply, superb. A real favourite of ours. It is the most visually original of Viberg’s vast line up of lasts and is complimented by a curved stacked heel, stunning characterful pull up leather and a hard wearing Ridgeway sole. They look and feel very unique and will age to perfection. This iteration we asked to replace to Dainite sole with the Ridgeway sole for more comfort and traction and we find the Dainite quite hard underfoot for long wears.
The 310 last has a wide bump toe, slightly square in shape but rounds at the toe tip. It is a wide last from the ball of the foot forward and is ideal for us wider footed mammals. It then slims to a shapely waist and standard width heel. The bump toe, as well as looking great, is very natural to walk in as it helps the foot roll and so is very comfortable for long days on your feet.
Construction & finish: The best materials and construction methods have been used in these boots to withstand what they were made for, just see the DETAILS tab. The finish is great, even trim with a nice trimmed in waist.
The Viberg 310 Service Boot is listed in Vibergs own sizing which is very similar to standard UK sizing. The 310 last fits very similar to other Viberg lasts in length but overall there is more volume in the mid and front half of the boot and the ball is wider.
We would recommend going with your usual Viberg sizing and in terms of length (more volume though and width) a Viberg size 8 in the 310 is very similar to:
Viberg 2030: Size 8 E (UK 8, EU 42)
White’s Semi Dress: 8
White’s Smoke Jumpers: 7.5 US – 8 US
John Lofgren Engineers: 8.5 US
JL M43: 8.5 US
JL Donkey Puncher: 8 US
JL Combat Boots: 8.5 US
Red Wing Iron Ranger: 8.5 – 9 US US (7.5 – 8 UK)
Truman Boots (updated last): 8.5 – 9 US
Rolling Dub Trio Coupen/ Stan/ Casper: 8 US
Trickers (and majority of British brands): 7.5-8 G/F
Asking £350 plus postage. Willing to ship worldwide but please contact me for cost.
Thanks for Looking!
