I did the same with refreshing the page constantly, it changed at 9:03 only and 38 was sold out already. They claim they had 6 pairs in 38 which were sold at first two minutes. Well, it looks their system works just fine.
Mari said the launch was insane and this is what I saw on the Standard & Strange IG yesterday. It speaks for itself.

I was refreshing the page every second, item appeared at 9:03 AM and my size 38 was sold out. Not so sure it wasn't sold to anyone else who were... more equal than others...(((
Sorry man. It looks like me and another dude on IG were lucky enough to grab a pair of the 38s. Not sure how many pairs they had? If it means anything to you, I was refreshing the page every second as well and did Apple Pay to make it as fast as possible. I’m getting them hemmed to 34” raw so if the sizing doesn’t work out for me I can reach out to you if you’re interested? In the past I have lost out on so many Viberg releases it’s sad. Was just lucky today. I’m sure you’ll catch it next time.

Anyone have experience with the sizing on Nigel Cabourn sneakers? The speedway pages for the various models list sizes such as "9.5 / 28cm" and "10.5 / 29cm", which is throwing me for a bit of a loop since I'm used to 28cm being around an 11 and 29cm being around an 12.5 in standard US sizing.
Haven't worn sneakers since I was a kid, so any general sneaker sizing + fit advice is also welcome…
If you have wide feet it may be an issue. I bought the Iron Heart sneakers made by Moonstar but I had to return them. The length was fine but they were much too narrow for my feet. The next size up would have been too long.

Haven’t checked in for a while. The whole Sally Fox cotton sounds really intriguing. I knew a bit about natural colored beige cotton but had no idea all these colors were even possible. Very cool to see people out there with the dedication needed to keep these things from being lost in history.

Caught a glimpse of this before he took it down. Idk what that denim is but if it ends up on a future model I'll be buying it for sure
Reminds me of my pair of sugar cane 50/50 denim. Those are generally LHT but Roy’s pair seems to be RHT at first glance.

Sorry it took this long to answer. They are very comfortable imo, the small gripe I have is that the shaft is quite narrow and it takes a bit of effort to get them on/off. On the other hand these are my only engineers, so I can't compare to other makers.
No problem. Thanks for getting back to me.

Mostly a fun/expensive experiment to see how well they hold up and how they fade.
After they’re rags I’ll go back to my $40 Wranglers for work. They can’t be beat for the price and are tough as nails.
Very cool experiment to see. Please keep posting updates.

RJB and Role Club
Brian sure makes beautiful boots. How is the comfort level/arch support? I’m asking because I read something on another forum a year or two, can’t remember where. Anyhow, someone said that everything was on point with their Role Clubs except that they were not their most comfortable pair of boots. Do you agree with this or not? I’m wondering if this should be a potential concern. It was a while ago and maybe Brian has improved the fit over time. BTW, I’m not talking about “sneaker” comfort or anything. I’m talking about all day walking type of support. FWIW my Vibergs are far more comfortable to me than a pair of Nikes if this makes sense.

A friend who's very knowledgeable about leather stuff (he's a leather craftsman) pointed those out to me and said that the workmanship is really good, he saw them in person at a fair in Germany last weekend. Apparently the guy is also behind boots making for a very respected US clothes brand too
That’s good to hear. Everything I’ve seen on IG seems like it’s really good quality materials and craftsmanship. Respected US clothes brand huh? Now you have me wondering what it could be. What jumps to mind is that the boots remind me of Julian boots and I’ve heard he made boots for Mr Freedom and RRL.

anyone heard of this fella before?
?
Custom made boots, handmade in Italy, many models done on a Munson last.
Intriguing.
I’ve seen them on IG the past couple of years. Every time I’ve gone to their website I keep finding there isn’t anything on the site and it hasn’t been updated at all.

@spacecadet thanks - your message prompted me to do a lap of the block in them just now as I hadn't had chance to wear them. I gave them a blast of Nano Protector this morning to hopefully help them age gracefully given the challenges of the British climate. These boots look great with some wear - I'm just hoping it'll be reasonably even.
You're right - these are the 2045 last. I much prefer the shape of this last in this style. I spoke to Viberg directly, told them I had a pair of Oxfords in the 1035 that fit fine and they recommended the same size in the 2045.
Compared to the Oxfords, the Boondockers have more room in the toe box and I really like the extra space. Across the middle they're both slim - the Oxfords are at the comfort limit of snugness after 4 or 5 years of periodic wear; the Boondockers seem to have slightly more space (even with a thick sock) and so I'm pretty sure they'll be good with wear. The heal is definitely more fitted on the Boondocker and will need some breaking in but I'm sure it'll be fine and it does hold the foot well.
Overall I'm good with the initial fit. I have it on good authority that these wear in really well so hopefully they'll see some miles this spring and summer. Does this match what you'd expect given your experiences with Viberg?
Good to hear the fit will work out for you. Since the 2045 is a Munson last it is wide in the toe region with a narrow heel to keep your foot secured in place.
One of the things I discovered with Viberg is that the overall length can vary depending on which last is being used. For example the 2030 last is longer than the 2045 or 2005 last for the same marked size. Therefore, sizing down in certain wider lasts is not recommended because there is no extra toe room to deal with like there is on the 2030. Unless someone is “sizing up” for the 2030 due to lack of width, the sizing should remain the same going from one last to another in order to obtain a proper fit. Viberg actually recommends doing this but I had taken some bad advice.

@MJF9, how did the boondockers end up fitting? How did you size the 2045 last? I’m curious since I have a bunch of Vibergs across many of their lasts and can speak to some of their subtle and not so subtle differences in fit. I’ve also been burned by sizing advice in the past, even directly from the source.

looks like black seed denim to me. Same ID line too. Another "joke" maybe?
Could be. Calling it nehon menpu, nehon menu, or nihon menpu, that denim is certainly NOT uncommon or rare as far as I’m aware. I believe Sugar Cane uses nihon denim with slightly different pink or should I say red faded ID line.

Wesco has been teasing on their Instagram lately
about their 100th anniversary collection coming up and Dr. Sole has a official collab with White's Boots coming up as well.
I’ve been waiting on details about Wesco’s 100th anniversary makeups for a while now. Anyone have any info about the special makeups they will be offering? I was trying to wait on those makeups for my first pair of Wescos but my impatience caused me to buy a stock pair of Jobmasters already.

The Lofgren M43 look great @Iron Horse.
Has anyone tried/owned both the Lofgren M43 and the Viberg Boondocker? Would be interested in views on how they compare?
(It looks like the Viberg on the 2045 last, rather than the 2030, is more akin to the Munson in terms of shape.)
I have not tried on or owned any Lofgrens, but I have a 2045 boot. The 2045 is very much a Munson last. Tons of toe room with a narrower heel.

Yup, we'll have these at all stores on Tuesday!
@kiya, Just realized the sizing runs pretty small on this shirt. Are you carrying the XXXL? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but I want to make sure I do not miss out on this. Thank you.

Long story short, I sized wrong on the memorial jeans since I’m in-between a 34 and 36. I tried to get a ton of shrink on the 36s and ended up frying my patch. I confessed my sins to Roy and asked to purchase another patch. Roy told me he doesn’t have any extra patches, but asked what my rationale was behind all this. After lots of back and forth, I’m assuming he determined I was being sincere and not usually this careless. Roy said he wanted to make a deal with me. The deal was to send back my ruined 36s and he would send me a pair of 34s, as long as I follow his specific directions on the new pair. I offered to send the jeans back and wait until his next release since I knew that a lot of people missed out on the release. I also felt bad about taking up Roy’s time. He told me not to worry about it since he wanted me to have a pair of his jeans that I love. Roy also wouldn’t take any extra costs which I offered to pay. I felt the need to post this story to show my appreciation to what Roy is doing in addition to making awesome jeans. Here’s a fit pic of the 34s worn for a week after the tub soak. Sorry about the lighting, but you get the idea.

That’s great to hear! I paid almost $400 for my pair at S&S. Just soaked them today since I was on vacation for a while. I’m so glad it worked out for you!
