        Whoa now we're talking! Can't wait to hear about this new leather.

        There is a 50:50 chance we'll have it tanned and made up into a boot for Bread & Butter & Fish 'n' Chips

          @Giles:

          After I have taken the last couple of pairs of Wild Ones, my commercial relationship with Viberg will end.  Basically as they change their business model, doing the sort of stuff I/we want/need is not something they wish to pursue.

          I wish them much luck, we have done some great builds together.

          I really need a relationship with a good boot company that compliments Iron Heart, so on the basis that Viberg was a no go, I had to look elsewhere, and quite frankly, there were not too many places to look.

          I have formed a partnership with Sascha and Tobias of Vater & Sohn and we are now the exclusive European distributor for Wesco – I simply do not have the bandwidth to do this on my own and I could think of no two greater guys to join me in this great adventure..  We are all super excited about this.  We have 3 builds already in place and 4 more in the pipe.  Plus, and this is where I get seriously over-excited, we have a new leather, never before available anywhere being made for us as I type.  It will of course be exclusive to us…..

          This ride is going to be so good…..

          I hope you will join us in the fun.

          Do you know when we might expect to see some of the new boots..?

          Showing at BBB and F 'n' C in July.  Availability will start September…..

                  Yep, that’s much better than with the black trim IMO. Nice one Bretro_ 🙂

                          Wow! Those look super.

                          Packer upper on MP last? Essentially a Flightmaster.

                          Very, very smart.

                            is it the domain leather?

                              Thx for the compliments, gents!

                              Full build specs:
                              WESCO custom packers
                              MP Toe last
                              Black tie domain leather (the new stuff)
                              7" height
                              Unlined
                              Brass eyelets and hooks
                              Single midsole
                              269 soles
                              Standard heel height and thread color
                              Unstained, natural trim finish (that I hand finished with Fiebings trim kote)

                              Only beef is they initially finished the trim black, and I returned them. Rather than putting new soles/heels on them they sanded off the black, which means there is still black on the majority of the top edges (you would have to remove the soles and stitching to sand it off which they didn't do). It doesn't look bad or awkward per se, but would have preferred to have the entire leather portion of the soles be natural. I'm cool though. Not the end of the world (black on black was hideous though!)
