Viberg

[Friday]

Correct me if I'm wrong, horween is the main supplier of horse hide
to major boot maker i.e. whites, viberg, Alden etc,
so will the upcoming G's collab be using the same horse hide which whites
is offering at Bakers?

I have not asked that specific question yet…..

Apparently more boots survive from WW1 than WW2 because they were made of horsehide, and that's generally longer lasting than cow. That said, I remember chatting to a bespoke shoemaker, and he reckoned that it cracked.

As far as I know there are only a handful of tanneries supplying horsehide these days: Horween in Chicago, Shinki in Japan, and I think that there's another in Italy. Chances are that Viberg will be using Horween.

Minimum of four boots per style / colour? Anyone else up for a pair of wax flesh Hikers?

Depends on pricing! Horseside should be very expensive! ….over 1000€.

As per my post earlier.  Retailers are now restricted to ordering a minimum of 4 per style/makeup.  This makes it much more difficult to get you guys exactly what you want.  If you have strong views about what you personally want, I would suggest you start canvassing your ideas.  Please use this thread:
