      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.

        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.

        Think it, be it.

          Yeah I'm sure spray is equally effective.

          Thanks, I have to say when I first applied the preservative I freaked out, the preservative left marks exactly like this -

          But after using the hairdryer and my hands to rub around the wax a bit, and then brushing, and wire brushing, they look good. Can't wait to wear them in some more, they fit beautifully.

          That is asides from the bellows on the left foot, again something about my left foot means the bellows causes friction against my ankle where the bellows is sown onto the sides; the points where they fold in.

          It doesn't hurt at the moment, but I'm concerned a few days straight of walking will cause pain.

          Hopefully the tongue will just break in, it's really the only concern I have with the boot.

            Sweet. I'm glad it worked out. I'll need to dub mine probably based on all the snow where I live.

              Luckily not much snow in Australia so don't have to put too much dubbin on! Looks like giving it a proper greasing will take a few hours.

              Would love to see pics when you do it.

                If I can get them to look half as cool as that site that I linked, I'll be very happy.

                    Very cool.

                    Bill of Tender Co. makes boots quite similar in colour (i.e. natural untanned).

                        Hey chaps, after the discussion on dubbing rough out, I thought I'd give a before and after just for anyone thinking about doing it.

                        I should point out I used leather preservative (Viberg's own brand), and not official "dubbin".

                        Less light today but honestly that difference in shade is about right even in same lighting conditions.

                        Before:

                        After:

                            after color + new laces = best look for boondockers imo!…

                            wear in good health sir!

                                      Haha, relieved indeed mate. I swear my heart skipped a beat when I first applied the leather preservative, leaping before I looked as usual, but it's turned out really well.

                                      Can't wait to see what yours look like after dubbin mclain!

                                          im contemplating selling the vibergs i scored from the sample sale (http://www.styleforum.net/t/350296/official-viberg-boot-sample-sale-pt-5#post_6401112 #116). theyre just a bit too big for me and im afraid i wont use em enough. thought id check if theres any interest before i put em up for sale, otherwise ill use them as winter boots with many socks!

                                          theyve been used once (a 5 min bike ride in sunny weather) pm for price/pics 🙂
