Hi Finn, If you still have 'rights' to the Black Oil Tan Service Boot in sz 9, want to hook it up on my behalf? I'll wire you all t3h funds+ a nice bonus ;).

Thinking this could be my next build.

for you sample sale veterans, how long did it take for you to receive your boots?

This is the first pair I acquired sometime last year.  Bought of ebay (may be of someone on this forum?) the ripple sole I know is a bit marmite for most people, but I highly recommend it.  It is obviously a lot of cash to lay down for a sole you may end up hating, but I am a huge fan.  It also mean these shoes individually weigh the same as a small child.

The natural tan rough out is incredible, requires very little care and gets furrier with age!  I've also worked out they've clocked out a fair amount of air miles! (Canada-England(superdenim)-USofA-England if anyone gives a sh*t)

One, in hindsight obvious recommendation, do not wear a ripple sole in icy conditions.  I found out the hard way on an icy sloped pavement in full view of a hundred other Londoners.

i have my boots shipped to a friend in the USA (thanks again mate!), so i can not tell exactly…my first pair is still en route to him (got shipped last friday!), so i think one week is a good starting point!

[toddjcoley]

Do we have viberg rough out samples?

My boots arrived in one week. I was sent the tracking info on the same day they were delivered. Not sure about customs if your not in N America though. That may slow things down.

[Peter]

weird that these are still around. i think they look great and sz 8,5 is quite common!

I spoke to Morgan today about rough out samples and he said "The rough outs are basically limited to the rough out side of our full grain leathers. So, if you look at the reverse side of some of the full grain leather you'll be looking at our rough outs." Are we able to do some photos of the reverse side. I know giles has samples but i saw rafa did the photos so not sure who to ask??

[Giles]

Get your arse down here and take a look….

[toddjcoley]

these are for nataile and women take longer to know!

[Finn666]

yap, Giles has all the samples again so you just need to…

ok ok ok,  having a look at the viberg blog and i have a feeling their prices might go up, seems they are stepping it up.

[Finn666]

viberg.com is going live anytime soon now!

[SpaceGnome]

how could they get any more expensive?  I thought Brett shot that down lol…#hate_mode_on

[toddjcoley]

I read an inteview with him the other day from 2012 and he wanted to put them up and do clothing and bags
