Viberg - January 2014 Special Orders

[riffblaster general]

wow that derby boot is a beauty

@Spring:

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?

Brass.

[seanocono]

^Done.

Black Service. CXL. Natural Sole. Brass Eyelets. Need two more takers. Who else is in?

[mclaincausey]

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.

Something like this?

[mclaincausey]

Ah. Well, yes.

[seanocono]

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?

[mclaincausey]

Mocha… That last is perfect. Maybe brass eyelets.

[seanocono]

Sexy

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

i'd be down for something like this i think. all black everything!

^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?

[Finn666]

gotcha, thanks for opening this thread!

[seanocono]

My pleasure.

Full disclosure: I did it for selfish reasons. haha.

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:

With this leather (Vintage Tan r/o):

[misterjuiceman]

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

[seanocono]

Good to know.  Thanks for the info, misterjuiceman.  I agree the copper task is very nice.  Check it out here:
