@seanocono:

Nate, Jordan, I was told that the brown harness is no longer available from someone at Viberg. I would PM Morgan to confirm.

The Harness Leather that everyone's seen is no longer available, but we're replacing it with an Olive Chromepak from Horween. A good show.

Doable, yeah, but I haven't confirmed whether it'll be available on an individual boot. We're working with a retailer on producing something now. Patience!

Me and Shane were feeling up some Chippewa boots made out of chrome pack a few weeks ago at project . That shit is super nice! I was wondering if viberg was gonna start carrying it

Links a few pages back. I'm at work otherwise I'd get it for you. Basically dude advertised them as 12. Had them shipped to Morgan to change out the sole to honey lug cause I'm not a big wedge sole fan as when Morgan opened them they're 11 stamped not 12. So back they go. So be careful. This guy didn't even know they were stamped he was going by how they felt and they felt like his 12 nikes

Just received this from Nick at Horween: "Chromepak is the hardest wearing tannage that we offer.  This article was developed decades ago for the use in applications ranging from harnesses to moccasin outsoles to work boots.  Substantial, but pliable, Chromepak is hot stuffed with an extremely heavy blend of proprietary oils and greases and then aniline finished.  The high oil content provides good water resistance and acts as a conditioner throughout the life of the leather.  The Chromepak process takes more than a month and yields an article that will last a lifetime."

Oh my….Expect serious surge of interest......

[natehate]

g it is super nice in person
even if it was made into a lesser boot

and the description sounds perfect for engineer boots

[Giles]

OK.  I am thinking an 11" with vintage toe…..
