White's Boots
-
that just looks like a waxed rough out leather. I'm sure that if you heavily waxed any of the White's rough out leathers they would look similar. When I treated my roughout boondockers I used snow seal - in areas of frequent abrasion the leather even shines. I'll have to take a pic tomorrow maybe. they look quite similar.
Anybody know if White's offers a leather similar to the waxed flesh offered by Viberg?

Thanks guys, wasn't sure if dubbing roughout would get the same effect or not.

Hi Ben, of all the samples I have or have had experience of so far from white's, none are similar really in texture. I agree with erk above, that effect/ texture looks, and from memory of other brands using a similar leather, and imagine would feel like a rough out (albeit after a slight shave) that's been waxed. Could be an interesting experiment?

Its a good question. I've got the new Wolverine 1000 Mile Morely boots in rough out. The toe and heel is supposedly waxed or burnished but it looks less like the application of wax (or, for e.g., dubbin) and more like the finish from a burnishing wheel with 'rouge' or something. However, it looks to me like the finish on the Viberg's is more a high quality waxing process (like applying dubbin) rather than all over burnishing.

One week till I gonna drop my next order, this time:
8" Smoke Jumper, standard SJ last
Plain toe
Harvest rough out leather all over, cream liner
Nickel hardware
Vibram 100 sole, single natty midsole
Any thoughts? -
I'd go with brass hardware for that color, but that's about all I'd change.

received this pair today-great boots.

Very nice.
-
I really want some roughouts
-
You and me both.

Excellent! Which leather is it? How does the double sole feel?
thank you. feels good (single midsole), leather is brown dress throughout.

Double-Check:
I am a 8.5 E in the SD and NW last, Kyle at Bakers said I should order a 8 EE because they fit a half size larger.
Can anyone confirm it?Thank you
