White's Horse Hide/Shell Cordovan group order

[edmond]

for cordovan its 200 bucks more than the regular calf price and minus the discoutn hes gonna give us

[zr0e]

yeah, I meant is it possible, not the cost, I understand cordovan costs more... I guess I'll wait to see, if you can put me down tentatively (or not) just do whatever makes it easiest. I'm interested in the $650-750 range.

[edmond]

750 is a good budget for 1 i can reserve 1 slot for cordivan for you

[onehundy]

How much would a pair of cordovan engineers cost me? around 750?

[edmond]

engineers will cost you an arm and a leg for a cordovan engineer

[lostinthesupermarket]

Figure out the cost of 2 horse's asses and that should be about it!

[SLAB]

okay; just to recap; in horsehide only black is available?

what about cats paw soles, is it possible or too much hassle? and price?

[edmond]

horsehide black only

cats paw possible but more dough

[coleslawyum]

You might be able to source some Cat's Paw at your local repair shop for cheaper.

Then you can send them to Viberg.

EDIT: Always get heels a size or 2 bigger than your actual shoe size. For example I wear a size 8.5 but use 10/11 or 12/13 heels, depending on the design of the shoe. So always go bigger since it needs to sanded down when they are finishing the soles.

Viberg craftsmanship level is top.

For me it's all depends on price, if they will do it for $650 it will be a good deal, because they custom boots are starting from $500 (or close)

Here is a pic of Viberg SD from superdenim:

somewhat OT - but what is the name of this viberg model? I can't find anything remotely like it on their website...

It's Semi Dress, i dont know why they don't have it on website, but i guess because it was japan collection.

Ed, hold a spot for me on the Japanese HH 6 inch engineer boots. I havent quite figured out my details. Im very new to boots. I want my boot to look just like this one:

[edmond]

Are those 6 inch? I think theyre 8 but yeah hh wont be a proble

Problem is the cordovan only 6 slots for the cordovan

[edmond]

My engineer from viberg but in hh and roller buckle half soles

They've got it on their blog - http://vibergboot.wordpress.com/2009/08/30/semi-dress/

[Tiro]

so basically, these are the same last as the black cordovan pair on their blog right?

so eddie, any price estimate on a pair of those serviceboots from the blog but in the same leather as Kiya's boots and with cats paws half soles (with 8 stitch)?

[edmond]

Calf? No 8 stitch price in a day or 2

[blm14]

That's just the same picture, and there's no link to buy it.

If it's made exclusively for japan then I can basically give up on getting them in my size (13E)

Here you go.

[edmond]

No they can make you one viberg dont do exclusive shit

[Madmax]

Which toebox on the viberg engineer boot would be the most similar to the wesco motorcycle patrol toe?

[rayw44]

I don't think they have a toebox that is identical to the MP toe, but it seems like the toe on the newest version of the service boot is the lowest and slimmest profile. That's probably the closest to it.

[Tiro]

Calf? No 8 stitch price in a day or 2

Mocha Brown Horween cowhide (according to Kiya's post)

different to judge maybe but...

are these captoes according to you guys or are those just creases?

guess the new service boots is the closest to this pair as far as viberg goes right?

[edmond]

From a very reliable source that julian is a faux bootmaker he used to talk to viberg and asks them if they can subcontract the shoes, but it didnt come thru cause julian is not doind it like a Good businessman so to cut the story short hes not a bootmaker like who really says he is and he said he was schooled in england and the bootmaker from viberg

Checked him out but no , no julian was ever schooled there. Anyways now his boots are made by some mexican in a small sweat shop

[Tiro]

my question bout the boot in the pic still stands though eddie

[edmond]

Nope its not the sam toe totally diff , these are fatter while vibergs thinner

[Tiro]

they look thinner then vibergs usual toe though, maybe closer to the viber sd...

anyhow, doesn't really matter, but in your opinion are those captoes?

[edmond]

Def those are captoed what makez you think theyre not?

[Tiro]

dunno from that pic, they almost look like creases, there doesn't seem to be a different layer of leather on the toe, might just be the pic or my eyes though...
