VibergSampleSale Friday Haul:
***ALL stitchdowns
•110 ~  Chukka
•1035 ~ Brown Fatty Calf Derby, partially structured toe
•1035 ~ Ebony Latigo Service Boots TC, partially structured toe
•1035 ~ Black Pit Tanned Bison Service Boots

Nothing fancy really, 'cept for the 1035 Black Pit Tanned Bison Service Boots, w/c were freakin' fabulous , IMO.

Set versus the black leather sofa__ visible complex hues brought out by the afternoon light from the living room window just convinced me they're my new bbf  
'Was fortunate to have handled Bison leather before, but not @same level of leather quality, tannage-wise.

Had a short chat w/GuyFerguson & he said the tanning process is the same as on their famed + sought after shell cordovan. No quarter lining needed__ leather was as thick, if not thicker than the #HorweenCXL they use.

love every pair, most specially Black Bison Service boots

[Finkster]

^^ Great haul! - dammit … and the black Bisons are gorgeous

[pillowPANTS]

Nice score for sure. Wish the sale wasnt 16hrs away lol. What size are you?

[BrownIcon]

Thanx, sirs @Finkster @ben2t @pillowPANTS

Could fit in size8 [medium weight socks] throughout Vibergdom, 'cept for 2030 w/c just does not fit at all … but on [this] recent haul, I upsized 1/2 cuz I found 8.5 on 1035 fit & felt much much better.

Daaaaaaaaamn!  What an epic haul! Hard to pick a favorite - the derby shoes and chukkas kind of stand out for me, as I have service boots.  Were there a lot of people trying to buy the goods?  Assuming so.

Picked up a pair of beige calf derbies from Notre shop, not my usual shoe style but I thought these would look nice worn in and beat up a bit. These are on the 1035 last, and I went half a size up from my 2045 last size and took a 12. They are a little long, but I feel like the width is perfect. Would've been too narrow in an 11.5 I think. I just wore them out running errands and they feel like they will be nice with an insole possibly. I think the leather is really nice, reminds me a bit of natural chromexcel.

[Bluegrass]

Nice! And it does look like natural cxl to me - Viberg uses Horween cxl - maybe that's what it is?

[seanocono]

Those derbies are real beauties. Great pickup.

[Broark]

Hey thanks guys, I really like the leather.
And they're definitely beige calf, Notre listed them as such. They just really remind me of natural CXL.

[Bluegrass]

Well they are surely awesome!

My navy latigo roughout 145 oxfords.

[Broark]

I was just looking into the 145, wish there were some more options available in it.
Nice oxfords!

[cordroto]

Thanks, I also wish they made more 145's. They are a perfect shoe. I almost spent $1100 ordering a pair from Barley Harvest Season, but in the end I just couldn't justify spending that much.

Berlin souvenir for myself

matte black Guidi calf, leather sole, dove tail heel derby

[Broark]

Nice, what last are those on?

[JCMx800]

So glad they did not have anything in my size

[rocket]

hehe, are you sure 

@Broark:

Nice, what last are those on?

I guess they are on the 1035 last, like your new pair, seems to be pretty much the same build, just diff. leather

[Broark]

I've been wearing mine with an insole since they came out a little bit big but they're perfect now.
Nice shoe, I like the laces on your pair. Makes them a lot more casual in a good way!
