IHVB-03CT - Iron Heart/Viberg 8" Smoke Jumper - Reverse-out "Copper Task"
-
Congrats man. I really love these boots.
-
I am constantly eyeing the pair of 10.5 that keep popping up on eBay. 2 problems they are way overpriced and secondly not sure why someone would exchange the lug sole for a dianite sole on these but McClain is so right these are dead sexy
-
Are the ones on ebay SpringSonOfLights??
Pretty sure he had the lugs off and danites installed instead -
I do not think so. He told me months back those were gone. Maybe the dude who bought them is trying to resell them.
-
Ahh, makes sense. I remembered him doing it so i figured id ask
-
i decided to treat my rough out copper task boots with dubbin after doing some research on youtube and via forums. the advice is provided by military, x-military and military enthusiast guys treating their rough out boots in the way it was done in preparation for the water and gas filled environments of the conflicts in the first half of the twentieth century.

These look great @den1mhead . Do you have a close up of the leather?

@neph93, here you go…..

Cheers @neph93. You are getting an awesome pair of boots. Enjoy
Excellent! Thanks so much. I've just bought tmg's pair and they are on their way to me as we speak. I'm trying to work out my options for treatment/wear, so this is really helpful. I really like the two tone effect!

Boom.
I've a pretty great track record at being late to the party and I've decided it's the way forward. IH/Vibergs now, IH/Wescos next year.
These arrived today just after the first snowfall. Ridiculous pair of boots. I'm in love. On the downside, I now have to seriously consider hemming all my jeans anew, as they are currently hemmed for stacks when wearing trainers… First world problems.

Lets see your stacks with the boots. I stack and boot

Quick and dirty:
I think I'm just about ok with these 301's actually. My SBG BB's are hemmed a little shorter, and I probs won't wear my 555's with these boots. But my 666 XHS may need re-doing.

Looks good imo!
Enjoy ya addiction!
Cheers fellas! These jeans have reached soft as jogging bottom stage, which helps, I think. Boots are boss either way. New, bad habit, I fear…

very nice @neph93 !
Edit: those look perfect! Even a bit longer hem/inseam would work IMHO so the UHR might not be as bad as you think.

Thank you sir! MY XHS (I have no UHR….yet) are pretty new and not broken in, soaked or anything. So I'm gonna have to spare them anyway to avoid crocking the boots. Kinda stupid ´cos no trainers until summer (I live in northern Norway) and 25oz is not a summer weight jean. New black boots may be the answer

Awesome boots @neph93
