IHVB-05 - The Wild Ones - Iron Heart/Viberg Engineer Boot Collaboration

@Chris:

You're both right; fully dyed isn't necessarily better.  When I said it's a quick marker for quality, I meant that it's an expensive process, so it's less likely that you'll find it on products that use cheap leather or are cheaply made.  Nice stuff, like that pair of RRL boots, may use different dying techniques to create a different aesthetic, and it's certainly no reflection on the intrinsic quality.

Yeah, I have a $150 pair of Chippewa that are dyed all the way through…  EDIT: And if the boot is unlined, as those Chippewa are, it can be murder on your socks.

G, what's the deadline for a deposit? You mentioned earlier that I could specify a narrow shaft with preorder, is that still possible?

[Giles]

I think I'll close pre-orders down at end of November.  PM me re: custom shit….

[superfuzz]

Thanks G, I'm trying to decide between these and the Ace engineers that SE is getting mid Nov. So it looks like I'll make the cutoff. PM coming.

[mclaincausey]

I thought kiya said that the Ace engineers were dead

[superfuzz]

I think the cordovan ones are dead but there is still a calf version. At least that's what I understood.

These are awesome, so 400 on order and the rest on delivery?  When is the expected delivery?

[superfuzz]

Hey G, if you're thinking of doing other colors down the line, I vote for color #8 cxl. That would be a nice boot!

[tatmantall]

supafuzz is correct from what i gathered in my last correspondence with bigK.

Correct and about 8-10 weeks….

I was trying to do some research, but kept running into dead ends.  Does anyone know how the 2005 last fits?  Does it run TTS, or a half size smaller, like the 2030?

[grandmasterben]

It is not good that I am salivating while watching that video and have some PayPal money…. Are there any places to try on viberg a in la?!?

My wife is going to kill me…

Should I size these the same as my IHVB-04-B-O-T (the recent IH/Viberg Mocha Ice service boot)?

[Giles]

Yessir - well, at least I did….

[ColdStorage]
