Viberg

@futura  Great looking boots! Are they roughout or waxed?  It's Monday and my eyes aren't working.

[benniejackson]

Those look like reverse tobacco chamois to me.

@summ3rhays @benniejackson correct answer both of you
It's these from rivet and hide

I was doing so well with my budget and then get a voucher towards a pair of Vibergs. I was kind of hoping that they didn’t stock my size or they were not to my liking, but of course that’s not the case.

I have been holdout for a pair of petrol chamois r/o, but they had charcoal which is a close runner up.

I’ll post pics when they arrive.

@summ3rhays in a pretty similar boat, but fortunately they DIDNT have my size :-\

My first ever pair of Vibergs from Snake Oil Provisions. They’re a charcoal nubuck.

@Jett129:

They’re a charcoal nubuck.

That leather looks magnificent. Lovely stuff. How do you find them compared to your Wesco?

[Jett129]

They’re definitely roomier,and break in took a couple of hours just wearing around the house. Magnificent is a good way to describe the leather. Quick phone picture doesn’t do them justice. Check them out on SOP’s site.

[summ3rhays]

Congrats!  Those look amazing.

[Jett129]

Thank you @summ3rhays Haven’t stopped wearing them since I got them Friday. Amazed at how fast they broke in and became super comfortable. Look great with my 555-02, cuffed or un cuffed.

@Appfaff are those just regular black cxl service boots? Lookin' so good!

[Appfaff]

Thanks @popvulture - this is actually the NAVY CXL - it has a ton of pull up, and the rough-out side is much more blue still than the smooth out side, which I have conditioned and waxed.

The leather has a ton of pull up, and the creases highlight bright blue, until I polished them, and now the cracks have white polish in them lol - c'est la vie - a good rainstorm and they will be back to normal I gather.

These have a basic midsole and red danite sole - I'll need to resole them at some point, and will add a full leather midsole, and a vibram 705 sole plus an extra heal stack when the time comes to get a bit more of an M-43 vibe out of them, as they are a bit too "dainty" for most of my pants.. look great with chinos, but I like my boots a bit beefier.

Giles has these made custom for a few forum members back in the day, and I was able to receive them from one of the original owners nearly new.
