      Oh my. These are just perfect. All steak (leather) with just the right amount of sizzle (those speed hooks!).

      They are stupendous aren’t they.

      Sadly you need to be able to make two trips to Japan to get the boots made, and either be good friends with Josh from Good Art, or financially irresponsible to get the speed hooks (otherwise we’d all have a pair [emoji23]).

        My boot collection so far
        L-R Viberg Service rough out, Oliver Sweeney Noceto, Oliver Sweeney Selby, Viberg Boondockers, Oliver Sweeney Ackerman, Magnanni Chelsea boots

        Looking for a nice pair of rough out hiker boots at the moment.

        I haven't tried any Wesco boots yet - are they comparable to Viberg?

        I'm also indigo on the inside…

        ...and I'm fading fast...

          I think you'll get varied answers to your question. I don't own either brand but i'd guess those that do will say Wesco makes a high quality boot.

            Three of my favorite pairs of boots are in dire need of maintenance.

            (L-R: 2012 Viberg service boot in loden green, 2014 White's semi dress in brown horsehide, 2014 Wesco jobmaster in burlap, if anyone's curious)

                The ones in the middle look like they were used as though they were the ones on the right.

                                Mostly online but I did get help from a local bootmaker when it got tougher.

                                        The leather on these last two pairs of Lofgrens looks very attractive. What is it @Bfd70 @kemp.barry.a  ?

                                          Black Horween CXL. Soft from the get go. Scuffs easily but also brushes out easily.

                                            I suspected as much. Looks very nice indeed!
