@BrownIcon:

I'm [desperately ]trying to see if i can get this built …. if not @styleforum, then maybe through here

Shameless Plug:
We're trying to get enough peeps on board this MTO Viberg Tan Bison Scout Boots. Pls pm "LA Guy" @styleforum if interested.

the mash-up:

A) **Tan Bison Scout Boot

Leather: tan bison
Model: Scout boot
Last: 110
Toecap: none, unstructured toe
Eyelets: 7 antique brass eyelets**
Sole: Double leather sole , natural

it seems there's not enough peeps who voted for the Tan Bison Scout who ACTUALLY put in the order. it'd be a shame to waste the opportunity to acquire a fab & unique build up such as this.

honestly, the 1 & only apprehension i have that's preventing me from pulling the trigger are the leather soles …. 'just could never get used to them. but, if they're EXACTLY like the soles on the 8" ENGINEER BLACK [Japanese] HORSEHIDE__ ie, Cat's Paw half-soles, i'm mosdef on board.

FOK said if we can "… scrounge up enough guys in week", we can make it for round 2. LET'S DO THIS PEEPS!!!

haha. the left is actually a shot of my boot. Gorgeous leather. I cant stress that enough.

^yeah, those Scouts were inspiring.

^^@Chris_ got some pix,  sir?!
i noticed the inside heel/back stay are lightening a bit already due to abrasion … 'was thinking about how it will evolve down the line.  the leather is not dyed through,  so as it wears in on the high traffic/friction areas,  the surface color will gradually fade/slough off, revealing the undyed leather.

for a self-proclaimed denimhead , that is an outstanding evo to look forward to.

I'll try to get something up in the next couple of days.  They're due for a bit of maintenance work, so I might do some before and after shots.

SF Loden Green Service Boots is tempting, but it looks like Viberg.com is introducing new boots every couple of weeks. "Service Boot in Natural Essex available online next week".

I was wondering I'm usually  a size 10US if a size 10 in there these would work? http://viberg.com/collections/footwear/products/engineer-black-horsehide 
also can you get the same boot but in cowhide ? I'm jonzing for these love everything about them

[Giles]

IMO you would need to size down to a 9.5.  Take a look at these:

for me, that would be the way to go!

Leffot has a really nice selection at the moment.  Very much into the Boondockers . . .

[Finn666]

^if i was able to, i'd pick up all 4 pairs…great greast things are happening over there!

[nat]

Leffot use US sizing or Viberg sizing?
Really hit meeeee!!!

[Scottystyles]

I'm a size 10us in most stuff and take a 9 in Viberg. I measure 10 on right and 10.5 on left on a brannock device. But the leather on those engineers is fuckin ace!! No shit!! Soft horse hide. Mine above are the same leather. Shits like crack for jonesing feet!!

Mind you, all my 2045 last fit spot on!! Just not sure about the 2005 last so I opt out for those engineers. I really liked the shorter idea. For me very very attractive! But yeah, like Rafa said! I think I would own 4 pairs given half a chance!!

Really hope Viberg bust more out like them when I'm up on cash flow..
