@Giles:

I don't think so, I can't visualise the upper in a combo of denim and leather…

maybe something similar to this pair of service boots?
21oz denim (indigo, sbg, sb) where the roughout is?…just a thought though, not sure if possible...

@Finn666:

This would be absolutely stunning!

SpaceGnome

stop posting that boot Finn, its killing my will to resist a purchase.

Yea Rafa, that concept is cool. I think G would have to comment on if the denim could replace that roughout, and how it would last/age. Probably lots of questions there.

Finn666

i´m sure it is replaceable since it´s actually nothing else (well slightly different!) as on the IHVB-01 or -03…from what i saw is that it´s denim on the outside and leather on the inside (might be clued on or sewed together or however they did it!) but this could work as well for a service boot imo...the only point that has to be reinforced with leather, may be the one where the laces go through!

sounds simple, don´t think it is though! so let´s wait...

I would buy it

Brett has been asked about possibility

I've seen boots that have a tweed outer, but they tend to be lined with leather. I don't know how denim compares for strength, but if Viberg can do a lined Service boot then it would work.

Here are a couple of photos of similar things.

I think that it could work.

The IH x Viberg boots with 21oz denim are backed with leather anyways.

that's what I said already…so shouldn't be a problem imo!
let's just wait for Brett!

Excuse me Rafa.

Finn666

Big congrats Finn mate, nice move u did

Finn666

thanks a lot mate…i´m brutal happy with them. i can even wear´em with thick socks which is a big plus (but a no go when wearing my 4HSxViberg boots)!
(these are a UK9 btw. my red wings & yuketen are all US9 and fit the same!)...

Yup! If you go a half size down from TTS, it really isn't the end of the world.
