G, are you wearing the XHS in this pic?
-
i'm really happy with the way these turned out.
great looking boot
-
Now that's a collab and a half to snag! In the pics you posted G i intially thought the sole unit was to dark but the store pics make them much nicer looking. John Lobb £ mind.
-
who snagged these?
i need to see them worn by someone besides G
-
Decided to take the plunge - the pictures sold me, and the legendary Viberg quality. Full report to follow when they get here!
-
thanks - should be here tomorrow!

Um…. I got this crazy idea to save up for these, fully aware that they are probably not going to be available when I get the money. Anyways... I'm a 12 in Nikes, could a 11 be possible for me? Maybe I'm lucky and none of the other big guys want a pair in the next few month.
Actually I'm quite surprised that there are still so many sizes around, I thought these would have been gone in a second. 
-
I really did think that people would just go nuts over these and disregard the price tag… But then I'm really new around here and I do not know that much about what sells fast and what not. What you said makes complete sense and I hope they still sell well enough to justify further collabs like this.
-
Ugh, I'm going to start calling my inner editor madmonday. (He won't be happy I brought up price.) However, I feel as though certain situations qualify for a polite discussion involving figures of such a nature. That being said, I still seriously contemplate pulling the trigger on these every day. And I know I will be disappointed come the day my size sells out.

just think of everything that must be involved from point zero to boot on your foot
there was at one point in time a water buffalo walking this earth and now that hide is on this boot
that's pretty fucking crazycotton is planted and eventually denim is woven by artisans on a vintage shuttle loom in japan
and that denim is married to water buffalo and calf hides and all sorts of other materials to make a booteach boot is made by an 80 year old family business in canada
the design is a collaborative effort between multiple peoples, each of whom has to earn a living
the materials must be carried over oceans from supplier to maker
and finished boots must be carried over oceans again to seller
and again (sometimes) to reach buyerit's really all pretty fucking insane
and all you gotta do is drop a little cash and shit is on your feet
price ain't all that bad once you think about it
jeans are really child's play when you compare to such an item
