        If you watch the video he already mentions a viberg sub brand made in Vietnam or something doesn't he?

          Pretty sure he's talking about Stompers. http://workboot.com/collections/vendors?q=stompers

            Stompers is made in Vietnam…

            Was no one paying attention whilst watching the video?

              Yes sir, stompers was what I was talking about. I'll edit my post to be accurate… I was surprised, never really heard of that subline. Viberg seems to do a lot of stuff that divides opinion!

                Maybe they're looking at moving Stompers production to Mexico, maybe they're adding a diffusion line. The town in question does shoes and tanning, but this doesn't look like a tannery to me.

                Think it, be it.

                          Super nice Seul. While we're on a rough-out tip, here are my Boondockers basking in the sun.

                          The leather has started to darken up nicely with wear and I've also got a fair bit of indigo on the uppers from my TCB jeans. Love these boots.

                            Real super nice guys! Never worried about stains (non-indigo) easily accumulating? And do you think the roughout feels as bombproof as normal leather?

                              I've never even thought about non-indigo staining to be honest. As long as it's nothing major, I think it would add to the character of the boot.

                              If anything, rough-out feels more bombproof because you don't really have to wipe them down or feed the leather like you do with smooth-out. They wear hard. Having the smooth CXL on the inside is really comfortable too.

                                Yeah I've really been liking the look of roughout stuff lately. Is it literally just leather flipped inside out? They've got to do something to the roughout part right?

                                And I'll be damned, after looking at the ihvb-03 in copper task I feel like I really missed out on the ultimate shit kickers. Anyone know if it's possible to get vibergs like those somewhere?

                                  Yep, roughout is just regular leather turned inside out, no additional steps involved.

                                  As for getting something similar, the Wesco Jobmaster with an 8" height, Vibram 100 soles and the Redwood leather in roughout would be pretty close.  Maybe switch to the Motor Patrol last to get closer to the toe shape; but this is just guessing on my part…

                                    I could build you a pair of Wesco that are virtually identical, no probs…

                                      There's a pair of the IHVB-03 on eBay right now. Otherwise, you might just have to get boondockers or something similar from Viberg.

                                        I spoke with the guy who has the IHVB-03 on the phone last week. He is a real nice guy he has never worn the boots since buying them from one of the forum members. I know they could be purchased for $500. They are to big on him and he just wants to recoup the money he spent purchasing them.
