Very classy build

Watch this space….A customer (and forum member) and I are discussing a black/brown Viberg service boot......

[superfuzz]

Shouldn't we watch the Viberg thread then?

[Giles]

You will get pointed to the right place when we have a build finalised…..

Hey looking into Whites semi-dress boots and had a question on the different leather options what are the differences in durability and comfort for the different types of leather ? I am overwhelmed by the options for leathers (colors and animals)

[Megatron1505]

Comfort - Chromexcel or buffalo, but both mark fairly easily.

Durability - Horse, Dress or Smooth. I recommend dress as the most bang for your buck, it ages well too.

Here are my White's SD in brown dress

skaterpunk437, I am with Mega, go with Smooth or Dress.
D666, the evo is sick!!! I like it!

666…killer photo of those white's....scuffing looks nice but I'm a wax polish freak so could never get there...unless I used sandpaper.

^Never ever do that to your whites

Look awesome Derivative, i almost went for brown leather.
here what i finally decided on mine a simple standard build on semi dress.

[derivative666]

Black Dress SD

[skaterpunk437]

WOW D666 great examples (I can't decide which i like better the brown or the black) how old are your boots? also you you apply any conditioners or such ( especially to the raw scuffed area)

[derivative666]

Nah never condition. If the leather got dry I would throw some Obenaufs or Pecards on them. I used to do it to my Alden 405. My White's have never been treated. Both pair are a little over a year old. I also have a pair of black cherry cxl/natty cxl bounty hunters that I love but never seem to wear. My next pair are going to be harvest roughout BH

Build sounds great ben2t.
Clean and simple, yet with flare. Good idea to order a black tongue. Can’t wait to see a picture of them.

@derivative666:
