White's Horse Hide/Shell Cordovan group order

[rnrswitch]

I am just not too into black. I thought #8 was the most common aside from black?

[mctaran]

count me in for cordovan vibergs plx.

But if it's possible, can we choose other color (no black)?

also afaik viberg got few service boots lasts, cordovan only possible on this last, or we can choose another one?

[edmond]

corodvan possible on any last but have to confirm due to cordovan cant be done on some high boots like the engineers and 8 inch high boots

[mctaran]

woohoo! cool! i'm in

[PeterParker]

Interested in something like the cordovan service boots, but with their standard brown "mocha" leather and a Vibram half sole. I'm hoping that can be done for <$500.

In the unlikely event that a brown cordovan is available, I would also be interested.

[entropy kid]

Mmmmm, black horsehide service boots?

I'm in.

[fre-co]

I might be down eddie.

Can you post your viberg engineers again? I've been thinking more about getting an engineer recently.

Not sure if these were the only Viberg Engineers Ed had, but they have been mine for the past 5 or so months. The combination of my awful camera and the awful weather today in Pittsburgh is the reason for the poor picture quality. The camera doesn't do them justice. They are great boots, and I highly recommend them. They have not been treated with anything since I've had them.

This last one gives you an idea of how the chromexcel has begun to fade.

[rayw44]

One more shitty picture for good measure.

Those are the ones I meant.

They look great, what is the leather?

If they can do them in Horsehide, without that logo, at the right price, I might be down.

[rayw44]

They are Merlot Chromexcel from Horween. I was wary of the logo at first too, but it has grown on me.

I like the idea of a horsehide engineer at a good price too. I know Ed had talked to Brett about horsehide before for an engineer, so it may be a possibility.

[rnrswitch]

Wait, I thought we were talking cordovan.

edit: I re-read the original post and see, now, that I am a moron.

I would be down for some of them service boots in a #8 horsehide now that I see the light.

[rayw44]

Ed said before that the order won't be limiting the availability of leathers or styles.

[rnrswitch]

He did say, though, that it was black horsehide or black cordovan, and any type of calf.

[Harry Hood]

I am very interested. Not really a fan of black either.

[rayw44]

this gorup buy doesnt restrict any of leather ok? even if you want it in calf or roughouts then join in on this group buy from viberg to get a good deal!

To me, this means ANY leather.

[lostinthesupermarket]

Probably in for a service boot. I would do an engineer boot but I think I prefer the Lone Wolf version.

[jimmyc]

Those are the ones I meant.

same here. Those are awesome.

[devilish]

Is there a time frame for this yet. After Christmas and I'd be in, before and I'm not.

[rnrswitch]

To me, this means ANY leather.

he can do black cordovan or black horsehide

!

To me this means any leather available and also black cordovan and black horsehide.

I think demonito is saying we can choose the boot and leather, as long as the leather is available. I am reading into it that black cordovan and black horsehide are the only available horsehides.

Not to be a stickler though.

[Medine]

If the price is real good I would love some suede bobcats

[hieveryone]

yeah--I'm wondering what type of discount as well

[edmond]

ok i need to know how many of this and that ( last, shape model of boots) and ill get back to brett hes willing to do anything but come on its just a logo im sure hell be hurt if i tell him not to put his logo on the pair of discounted boots hes goign to make for us..

[delirium]

this is pretty cool. might want hit up styleforum ... there'd be some interest probably.

i might be interested in pair of black HH service boots - not really sure though.

[rnrswitch]

Put me down for some #8 cordovan or horsehide (whichever is easier to acquire if at all) service boots like the ones on the blog and if that isn't possible then a pair of merlot chromexcel service boots.

[Aquaphor]

Can we do two tone shell or horsehide?

[fre-co]

ok i need to know how many of this and that ( last, shape model of boots) and ill get back to brett hes willing to do anything but come on its just a logo im sure hell be hurt if i tell him not to put his logo on the pair of discounted boots hes goign to make for us..

That logo is massive and ugly.

If it were smaller and on the side... fair enough.

[aso2004]

Put me down for a pair of lightbrown /cognac pair of serviceboots non brogue cap toe. HH is preferred but a roughout would do the trick nicely ...

[edmond]

[riff]

^ Nice pic Ed!

Damn. I've been trying to avoid this thread, but like a moth to a flame...

I saw some Vibergs in the flesh the other day, and they are something else - stunning quality, in materials, workmanship & finish.

I'd be down for the service boots, as on the blog, in black cordo or HH, and a mini Vib sole... Sigh.
