beauties.
great example of rugged & smooth as heck at the same time.
where is that make up from?
*roping on the denim isn't bad either

@madmonday tnx
… Got 'em from the recent sample sale. Tried to google the make-up, but yielded zilch.Quality seemed prod'n to me, but not so sure since I'm no expert ;).
The last shape & feel, I assumed was on the 110 as I have a pair to compare. But, as I've worn them a few times, they feel/wear more like an actual workboots__ e.g., White Semidress w/noticeable arch support, unlike my Bison Chukka.::) Shudda asked Guy or Frank for the deets.

If I have wide feet (8EE in whites, 8EE in redwing, 8.5 E in Alden Indy –- although this felt a little long and a little narrow)... am I going to be able to fit in any vibergs? they look so nice

Their lasts vary quite a lot, I'd avoid the 2030 but you might be ok with one of the wider ones..

Can anyone educate a complete noob like me as to the pros and cons of stitchdown vs. flat welt construction? For my next pair of Vibergs I was looking at some service boots with a flat welt but a lot of people seem to favour stitchdown construction instead and I don't really understand why. Is this purely for aesthetic reasons or is there something more substantial that I'm missing?

@BrownIcon The style is part of their work boot line, with custom leather… 146 Ironworker with mocha oil tan on a (?) 110 last? Dainite sole. I bet someone could contact them on their workboot website to order some, just saying

@Qinhan the difference in quality and weatherproofing is minimal. It's really aesthetic. Flat welt can be dressed up a little better than a stitch down boot.

Just further to this question, for those that are interested, this is what Brett Viberg had to say on the lack of difference in quality between goodyear and stitchdown methods:
