      Technically, that's roughout- the flesh side of regular full grain leather; essentially, just inside out, not suede, which is a split grain leather, usually from a softer leather, like lamb or calf.  Roughout is a lot tougher and more stain resistant and durable.

      For practical purposes, they look very similar, though.:)

                The FH boots are made from Deer skin, and look amazing. Same as anything I guess, if you can afford it then it is worth the price.

                So is the IH/Aero western and it's similar price. Id rather get the shirt for that price. Seems like a shirt has much more deerskin, just sayin'….

                      I've had these for a couple of years now, they just keep getting more comfy. They are some vibergs that we're part of the jp street collection.

                                    The verdict?

                                    Well, I won't make any comments on durability etc, but the fit is good, a little tiny bit on the tight side with my ordinary thick wool socks, but a-ok with thinner socks. They are unlined, so a fair bit lighter than for instance my alden indys.

                                    The santalum rubber sole looks good and the rubber/leather heel feels good so far. They are a bit less black and more a dark/matte grey, but some black shoe polish will fix that right up i suspect.

                                    So far, I'm quite happy with how they turned out, will make a more thorough review later.

                                        They certainly look the business Lucifer, how is the stitch and finish quality? Any chance of some close pictures of the welt stitching?

                                          I'll fix that later tonight! (moms and paps over for surprise visit, I have to make food 😛 ) It does look ok though!
