Thanks @Appfaff for that heads up which makes for interesting reading.
So Viberg are out of the engineer boot game / market, for reasons that are clear to Viberg only. All the more market share for Wesco
edit; and other engineer boot manufacturers -
here is the email, I believe there was a blog post too?

Having just received a new pair of Viberg's today, I can vouch for them being lighter and more flexible out of the box than they used to be. My pair has a welt rather than stitch down, which is perhaps a manufacturing shortcut, but then also easier to rebuild? Viberg seem to be claiming the channelled insole is their way to step up from other goodyear's, although pretty sure Yuketen's non-mocs have been channelled for awhile. All that being said I wanted to make the 7" domain toe cap boot work but the last didn't seem to suit, and same with the IH/DR/Wesco collab boot which is really special. I haven't tried the engineers. Would like a tea-core boot.

So after a brief exchange with @Chris about a longing to "cheers some beers" with him in the near future (this is meant to be less creepy then it sounds in my sentence structure) - I was wondering if anyone would be down to do some Zoom Happy Hours for the forum members? Since it's now been more than a year since most of us have been able to meet each other in person, figured it could be kinda fun, and a great way to get to know other people, and hear what their voices sound like haha.
I know everyone is probably Zoom'd out, but perhaps drinking and denim chat can make up for it?
Also, I know we are all in different time zones, which could either mean 1. some Americans have to drink in the Am (which has become common place anyways, right) or 2. Europeans just need more Jameson in their coffee
I'd be happy to organize if there is interest!

+1 interested.

i like where this is heading. @neph93 you cool if I create a thread in the Meet Ups section?
Next week is Thanksgiving in the US (Very sorry you are not spending it with us, maybe one year!) so that is either the perfect time as a lot of people are off work, or a terrible time as people will be busy most likely.

@Madame Buttonfly and I were supposed to be spending Thanksgiving with @ROman this year., and we were so looking forward to it.
That's fucked…..

Yes it is fucked. I was looking forward to it.

@ROman - such a bloody shame, but rest assured we will come next year, or as soon as we can. You don't get rid of us that easily! Missing you x x x x x x

@neph93 I just read an article that in part of Alaska, the sun is setting for the winter until Mid January. When does it set for you and is it perma darkness or just extremely low in the horizon? Do you guys use lights to help regulate circadian rhythms?
Just curious.
The sun has effectively gone here. Won’t be visible again until late January at the earliest.
If you look in an almanac then it will give the specific dates when the no longer makes it over the horizon. Where I live that is from early December to the middle of January.
In practice you can expand on that, depending on the physical geography of where you live and the weather. I haven’t seen the sun for a week for example, because:
A. It has been pissing it down.
B. The sun’s axis from east to west at this time of year is so low that it is hidden by the southerly mountain range where I live.Some people use specially designed UV lamps at home and at work. Most people go the other way and just make their homes and working spaces as cosy and comfortable as possible, lots of candlelight, rugs, slippers and snacks. And beer. A shit ton of beer.

Finally started wearing my 666-XHS recently now that the weather permits. I've worn them for ten days now and when I took them off tonight I noticed that the top button hole is unraveling. What should I do?
