    Kapital does everything, from weaving the fabric, to cut and sew and distressing.

        Gotta agree with Mike on this one; I'd sell those jeans, get most of your money back from a Vis fanboi and put the funds toward something more substantial.

          I have loads of stuff that I am more than ready to get rid of now. So I guess I'll keep the jeans as for now.

            Alright, here are my Virgil's. I really like how they look and they smell super nice, but I'm not sure if they are too long….

            That's where my toe is. Thoughts? Never had a pair of boots so not exactly sure what to expect…

                  u able to return them?
                  if so, maybe go a half size down (if they make any!)…
                  otherwise, if the fit is perfect in all the other dimensions, suck it up and wear an insole or some thicker socks.
                  that should improve the fit and your feelings of them being too long or not!

                  other than that, they suit you (and your style) perfectly imo!

                    What's the width like? Any heal slippage? They look too big from here, but it's all about how they feel.

                      That's where my big toe sits in my Vibergs and they fit like a glove (due to the narrow last)… So... Don't focus on that too much...

                        Said it before and I'll say it again, feet/shoe fit is one of the most subjective things :).

                          Where the ball of your foot is in the shoe is much more relevant than where your toe is.  Different last shapes will result in different amounts of space; generally speaking, the more pointed the shape, the more excess toe space.  However, the back half of the foot is more clearly determined.

                          The ball of your foot should be just forward of the arch, basically right where it looks like it should be.  Flex your foot like this to check-

                          If your foot isn't lining up properly, you need to re-size.

                            Just received a pair of Visvim Grizzly boots aw12:

                            Have to say i'm absolutely blown away by them. People often say Visvim gear is overpriced but I can't imagine how footwear can get any better. Fucking awesome! Anyone else got a pair? Thoughts?

                                It's that TFH flannel that's grabbing my attention in the top photo. One that got away…

                                  just got the fbt sashiko to grow my fbt collection. good to know the newer ones are now made in japan. and the soles are much better.

                                    How well are they built compared to Viberg?

                                    @Shoreman:

                                    Without taking it personally, or getting overly offended, could someone explain to me why visvim footwear fetches as much as it does when the majority of these pieces are made in China? ( I know, I know, tired argument. But, I'd rather hear some opinions on the issue here by some people who I believe will come about it rationally than at, say, another forum where such a question will likely encounter passive aggressive retorts or all-out visvim bashing.)

                                    Is it true the majority of their stuff is made in China?

                                      first of all, i'd like to say that not everything that is made in china is bad. we have to look at things subjectively and judge them rather than just assume. it's true that most of their fbts used to be made in china. right now, some are made in korea and like the pink sashiko i have above, their made in japan. IIRC, some might still be made in china hiroki nakamura has stated that he doesn't bother where his products are made so long as they meet his quality standards and by no doubt that bar is set high.

                                      though then again, i do not believe in paying full retail for every of their pieces (unless you're john mayer) but i feel only some items are worth the price.

                                      @NorthernVictory:

                                      How well are they built compared to Viberg?

                                      well i can't really compare some of their sneakers or boots to viberg cause they're truly different products. they're not really work boots. even their brigadier or grizzlys are not what i consider a workboot. but i have thier virgil boots which in comparison to a pair of red wings, i absolutely love the bison leather and the craftsmanship of it. but one thing i've grown into wearing visvims is the TPU stabilizer on the heel.

                                        Visvim are a luxury clothing and footwear brand, Viberg are a heritage work boot brand with fashion leanings. When Iused to be into Visvim (about 6 years ago) the majority of their stuff was made in Korea and was just ok in terms of manufacture but hilariously expensive.

                                        I made a pilgrimage to  FiL in Harajuku at the time at was completely underwhelmed by the products, but overwhelmed by the pricing. Many of the resellers in the area had much better deals at the time.

                                        Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !
