Those look like reverse tobacco chamois to me.

@summ3rhays @benniejackson correct answer both of you

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.

Congrats! Those look amazing.

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!
-
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.

Ha, was gonna say I thought the soles looked pretty beefy, which I like! I have a pair of Oak St trench boots in black CXL that look a lot like this, though not quite as good. I love the way the toe has gotten some good creases and is turning up in yours. I need to wear mine more but I've naturally gotten more psyched about a pair of Vibergs and some Lofgrens I've picked up since then.
