      All good, SSoL. There is no limit to the amount of builds we can propose here. You can find pics of the smooth side of the Merlot leather, above.

      I'm still with you on a classic, black service like the first pic. Viberg recommends the black oil tan and black CXL leathers as the two best leathers suited for polishing. The black CXL scuffs easier, FYI. Your call, I like them both.

        Ahh sorry I think I'm understanding better the way this call to arms works.  😘

        I like the CXL idea, scuffs or no. Also, it's key for the sole to be natural-colored so as to contrast all pretty-like with the black.

            No worries, at all. The learning curve is all part of the process.

            Agreed. CXL with a natural sole it is. Preference on eyelet color?

                  I think a service boot mixing rough and smooth out leather of the same tone would be cool. Rough on ankle support and/or heel counter, for example.

                  Think it, be it.

                        That's the Tate and Yoko collab from a couple years back.

                        There's also the Four Horseman collab, which is quite nice, too:

                        What leather are you thinking, MCL?

                          Mocha… That last is perfect. Maybe brass eyelets.

                              sean, are we just talking service boots or are we able to shout for an oxford as well? 🙂

                                ^Whatever you want, Rafa.  No restrictions.  My intention was to make a 2014 version of this thread:

                                http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4273.msg224332#msg224332

                                So play around with some ideas, have fun, and see if anyone else is like-minded and looking for the same build.  IIRC, some great builds came of this last year; worth another shot in 2014, right?

                                      cant afford a pair atm, but an oxford in black r/o would be sick. pretty much the only build if prefer a vibram christy sole for.

                                      a boondocker-like boot would also be awesome, but with rubber soles..

                                      do viberg offer something that resembles a chelsea boot ? id love one in like natural cxl r/o or the vintage tan.

                                        Not that I know of.  You could go with a chukka like this:

                                          No more vintage tan roughout as far as I know. I think the closest thing is the copper task roughout, which is very nice.
