Viberg

[Jii]

There was still a hint of daylight coming through the window so I snapped these. Mmmmmm indigo stains..

[FOXY]

since I have seen the Viberg * Take 5 collaboration mentioned here earlier…

[FOXY]

what happened was that my girlfriend fell in love with them late last year in the store and I took the opportunity for an early Xmas present for her…

[FOXY]

maybe I will get the permission to take some action shots/fit pics…

[FOXY]

Me too. If she is happy, I don't mind the hole it burnt into my pocket (so much)…

[FOXY]

now - if only I could get her to wear raw denim or japanese denim in general…

[Beatle]

Worn about twice a week for six months.

As you should know… spending most of your time either at a bar or in front of a computer doesn't yield hard wear on boots!

These are custom Service Boots - the leather laces are kind a standard for these. Price should be around 450€ +/-

Just killed some fried chicken at the Broken Record with some dirty sauce.

These are not service boots, they're the upturned toe boots that Viberg originally did for Benny at Take 5.  I had them done with a leather sole (so i can dance them in) and with full leather laces and a short Cat's Paw heal.

Edit: I think price on these should be around $695 USD.

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.
