@Giles:

Yes, I am getting full size/width info….

thank you sir!

[natehate]

damn g, sounds epic!
is that the "anything you want" build you mentioned a while back?

[demonito]

is this a group thingy G?

[Giles]

It is not a group buy, it is not available to order, Viberg asked me if there was anything they could make me as a special, I asked for those thinking the answer would be no.  That is why I said "sorry" above.

@Finn666:

do you know if one can change the width on the 2005 last? normally yes, right?!

The 2005 last comes in D and EE - we can do B and C in small sizes, but Morgan recommends against….

[Finn666]

thanks…a D width should be what I'd need then!
need to check back with VMC again though, if the one dried was an EE width or not!

Great Great video! The shot/scene @ 23 seconds is amazing!

Does anyone know which last the Viberg x Nigel Cabourn Expedition boot was made with and whether the boot will come up big or small?

[Jepanic]

Thanks Snowy. During the video shoot a duck swam up to us a wanted food about a couple minutes after that was shot. Wish the footage came out better I would have added it into the video. The duck kept its distance as if it didn't want to on camera. Hehe

^Sounds like it didn't want to be shown up by the boot

Just received my boondockers, fantastic service from Morgan et al!

Lovely little touches like the hand-written note, inserts and some boot wax.

[Peter]

^good stuff, really like those!

[Giles]

100% not excited…..not.....

[superfuzz]

This is just cruel, G! Just kidding, you deserve such badass boots for putting up with all of us on this forum!

[Aries]

Beautiful.

I'm still not completely sold on the Engineer aesthetic.

When I first see them I think they're too ostentatious and clunky, but then I see them under a pair of denim and my opinion completely changes.

Can anyone walk me through how to take care of rough out leather?

Packed with my Vibergs was a jar of heavy duty leather preservative. It's a beeswax-esque substance.

Applying it to the boots with my fingers, my boots now have splotchy dark patches across each boot, more or less entirely coated.

Do I now just wait for them to dry for a certain time?

I read that you can use a hairdryer on them now, and then go over them with a wire brush.

Does that sound about right?

I asked this a while back and the accord was to leave em be. Since you already dubbed em, try this:

Thanks Mclain!

Morgan included some leather preservative with the boots, so I blame him for tempting me!

Either way I followed those instructions and it's worked well, I only gave a very light covering, so it's only slightly darker, the kind of dark I presume would happen after a bit of rain/wear and tear anyway.

[mclaincausey]

Heh. He told me to just use spray from a local leather shop.

For the record, I think dubbed boots look rad. And they will do better should you wear em In the wet.
