      after shooting the NYC lookbook for Viberg in the spring Brett wanted to make me a pair of quote on quote indestructible boots which will hold up to my lifestyle and the work i do in them.

      so what we ended up with was this pair of brown wax flesh boondockerish sort of things.

      they have contrasting white stitching, speedloops and the rear loop to make them easier to get on and off were things i wanted to add for ease of use.

      i couldn't be happier, and now after a month or so of solid use they're looking damn fine.

      wax flesh is fucking amazine, it's incredible thick but the way it shows wear looks damn fine.

      either way here's them on my feet while i was sitting outside the tommy hilfiger show during nyfw (new york fashion week) last week.

      they're on a commando sole and have olive green (or whatever the technical term is) laces in them.

      couldn't be happier, and if you're looking for a leather that is super thick and will look even better with wear look into wax flesh, i believe it's offered in black and i look forward to seeing what that's all about.

      cheers,

      jesse

      PS for those into cameras one is the Leica Monochrom with a 50/1, one is a Leica M (240) with a 28/2 ASPH, and one's a D4 with a 28-300 (i'm selling the 28-300 and a Nikon D3 as well if anyone's interested, the lens is damn close to new i only use it sparingly during Fashion Week once I get tired of carrying around a bunch of gear, and the body has ~100,000 clicks which isn't shit on a D3, it shows heavy use as I always carry lots of bodies and they knock into one another, but it works flawlessly and I have the box, an extra battery, and all of that…)

              I just love Viberg. MC and Jesse, those are both beautiful pairs. I love the wax flesh and that olive is such a cool color. Looks great.

              Fat dudes need good clothes too.

                  in the original boondocker roughout leather + leather sole or would the leather- and sole choice still be something to decide on?

                      I'll update through winter. We'll see if they need further treatment with this or other products.

                        Looking great mate, did they begin the shade of the boon dockers rough out, or is that the cinnamon rough out?

                              i'd love to see something in black roughout with a single leather midsole and a dainite sole + cats paw heel (or standard dainite as well)! the "standard" boondockers are lovely, but imo something "more dressy" would be nice….also eyeing the fact that the last vibergxih collabs all were on the "heavy weight" kinda side, considering the shape and/or sole used on the different boots!

                                Hey Emcee can you grab a couple pics in daylight and indoors just so we can see the different shades? Seems strange, but the color/texture of the shoe looks different in the few pics (2-3) I have seen online. Also, what size are you in Alden Barrie? I'm an 11 and not sure if i should get the same size or a 10.5. Any tips wud help! Thanks!

                                I'll grab some pics in different light over the next day or two and post them up for you.

                                As for sizing, I have no experience with Alden sizing so I won't be much help in regards to the Barrie last.  I will say that I take 10.5 US in most shoes and occasionally an 11, but I got these in a size 10.

                                  It's the first time i've seen wax flesh. Looks like what I've been looking for this whole time! I was tempted by some Cinnamon roughout Scout/Bobcat boots but was worried about the toughness in winter of the roughout (Mclaincausey's experiences will be interesting to follow). Could I possibly see some more shots of the wax flesh? Thanks in advance mate…killer boots. I'm starting saving.

                                    Count me in!! Dainite sole!! But if there's no interest I'll get some from Viberg.

                                      How about Boondockers with a brogue toe cap and Dainite sole., perhaps slightly darker colour..

                                          wax flesh is top notch.

                                          its incredibly thick and looks super clean.

                                          i love it personally, super tough amazing stuff.

                                          hit up brett or morgan to talk more about it

                                            They're doing another run. Should be ready in two weeks. Don't know if they're still taking deposits.
