No probs.  Let's get this one going first…...And Geo if you want to spec up the perfect version, please do.....

[Geo]

Fantastic G . . . I'll put something together

[MastersOfDeath]

If it was something like this:

I would be on it in a flash. Is that the kind of thing you're thinking Geo?

[Geo]

along those lines MoD . . . don't dig to toecap tho'

[Geo]

no, no wait . . . maybe the toecap would work . . .  :-\

[MastersOfDeath]

I've found that with size 10 plates the toe cap really helps reign in the 'clown-shoe' look

[Giles]

Just think about waht Hectic would look like then…...................

[Giles]

@Giles:

OK people.  Just finalising costing with Brett@Viberg.

This is the likely spec….

Short Shift
Sand rough out
Double tan leather mid sole
Black lug sole
Brass buckle

G

And the price USD750…...

[Geo]

seems fair enough

timescales?

That's what I have put down as a MTO with my HK dealer 12 weeks ago. Need to check about Viberg's latest delivery schedule…

Currently the lead time in the factory is 12-14 weeks.  But I have some other samples being made up for me at the moment, I want to check these for sizing before I pull the trigger.  G

[Geo]

sounds good - i'd want to be bang on size wise, my current crop are just a little too bit - maybe 1/2 size

FOXY - Can I ask what you're paying for them? I've been after some rough out boots for a while. These are beauties.

[barun]

These are very similar to what I've been looking for as well.  Had another pair picked out but those may have to go on the shelf for the Vibergs

I put down the army boot version (different finish at the top), brass hardware, double leather sole, straight blocked heel (not curved), etc.
Since I order through HK I get around high taxes plus I get a discount at my dealer. That puts my boots at a 450€, give and take…

[FOXY]

Now, if you send these once around the globe, pay proper/regular taxes and add a fair mark-up you get close to the prices I see in the US and Europe…

[MastersOfDeath]

Thanks Foxy, they sound like they'll be smashing boots!
where can we get that sort of thing done in the UK?
would this be a G - thing??
