Viberg

Might be true (although Viberg refers to them on their own blog - viberg.wordpress.com - as Service Boots) - my dealer in HK offers both and refers to one as Army Boot and the other as Service or Navy Boot. Both are done on the same (old) last (310 last) and can be customized in regards to toe caps/stitching, sole execution and heel shape. Difference between the 2 models is the position of the last eyelet and the shape and finish of the shaft ending.

(the price obviously depends on the leather choice, modifications, dealer mark-ups/rebates and local tax situation.)

Not to say there might not be a third boot out there…it just looks pretty much like the service boot.

Benny actually has the Service Boot in a very special version (denim facing, etc.)...

In all my dealings with Viberg they've called them the Julian boots, which is what the last is called internally at their workshop.

[FOXY]

interesting - in the end it is just a name…
could be all sorts of reasons:

• exchange of lasts with Julian
• inspired by Julian's boots or vice-versa (ironically)
• for the ease of reference

here are mine - only a few weeks old:

Just got my new pair, Horween Bullhide.  A bit on the flashy side for most, not for me.

[deadendpro]

DAYUM KIYA!!!!!! is there supposed to be any specific way to take care of that leather as opposed to your other pair? it seems like the leather from the bullhide is super supple and could require more up-keep.

as you would say "That Shit Is Crazy!"

you sure those aren't elephant ass boots?

these would look beautiful with a really broken in pair of jeans.
