    A single update picture of my 16-inch, longer-than-your-dick, heaviest-weight boots.  The NatCXL is darkening up a ton, and the Harvest Roughout takes a beating like a champ.  Next step is going to be a good cleaning, followed by a little conditioner for the uppers and a good thorough dubbing for the lowers, so that I can watch them wear back to roughout and see that contrast take shape.

      I posted about going on a hike on the HWDC2 thread. Here's the aftermath:

      And here's a video of what a good obenauf's treatment does:

          First application of Obenaufs on Red Dog. Before and after (though they're still drying).

              Xpost from WL thread:

              TOW [tug of war] model in reverse kip butt.  they're built tough really & not easy to break in. 'my entry for the HBC challenge,  as it turned out, became [my] personal challenge.

              i have not posted anything with regards to [my entry] boots on HBC except the initial post cuz i was having 2nd thoughts about the boots.  i almost gave up when they developed an annoying squeak [on the outside side seam], on both.  'wondered if [this] was just a normal "stage" of the break in process, or maybe the choice in leather &/or model … or prolly i just gotta accept i might have gotten a lemon, plain & simple 😞

              thought it might be damaging to WL to post my experience w/o checking with them 1st, so i emailed WL a couple of times.  ... but, queries were ignored. 'almost gave up if it weren't for the advice of simonc & michaeljcr.  thanx for the heads up guys!

              fast forward:  after 6mos = 3mos effective wear,  the squeak is suddenly gone.  "farting", as simonc's son described it, was just a break in "stage", indeed … at least for [these] kind of boot build,  i suppose.

              the "farting stage" is finally over, TG!  the leather has softened quite a bit & the triple sole is giving some flex.  with the "Superfeet" half-insoles,  the wearing experience have greatly improved.  i've been wearing them a lot more lately.

              After 6mos = 3mos effective wear

                Looking great bro.  You wanna try to find a nice jacket or vest in that leather to go with those beasts.

                        Still rocking those cargos! So much nice denim in the closet.

                        Boots are looking good.

                          time for an update. Been wearing these boots at least 2-3 times a week. Been giving them a brush and a wipe down when I think they need it. I have been doing some spot treatment with heavy duty LP, I have given them a light coat all over a few weeks ago.  I want to let them dry out and have the grain age and crack a little but don’t want to ruin them.

                          I have been in a few place most recently in “up there store” in Melbourne and the shop owner says “are they vibergs” “fuck yeah they are!”

                              The boots look great Todd.  The leather sole looks great.
