Yes, please ask, a rivet actually adds a lot I think. And I feel like I have seen them on another Viberg boot recently, a non Cabourn, so perhaps it is indeed possible. Seems weird to call that one element proprietary -- it's not like other boots don't have them.

Rivets would look great on some of the service boots proposed here, but also maybe on Half-Japanese..? I am a fan of rivets.

So, the answer is.. maybe. Will know next week.

They did it for 14oz Berlin recently for a couple of their boots. Here is one of them: http://www.14oz.com/1950-service-boot-velours-dark-brown-dainite-sole-10233.html

Yes indeed, that's the one I had in mind -- a nice looking boot..

I totally forgot about the ripple sole! Is it too late to propose another build? If not, here goes. We could call it "The Trimhound Special"

Last: 110
Leather: Natty CXL Roughout
Tongue: Smooth Natty CXL
Eyelets: 7, dark brown like the stock Boondocker
Midsole: Natural
Sole: Wedge, mini-ripple (cream)
Other: Partially structured toe, pull tab, tonal stitching on the upper/white on the sole

I assume the color will be somewhat similar to what's posted here: http://www.styleforum.net/t/368014/...o-white-bone-leather-boot-size-44-fits-41-42/

Although IDK whether they'll be kangaroo.

I joined just to give a thumbs up for the "Half-Japanese" old style work oxford, exactly the way proposed.

Very awesome. Nothing else like it, classic but different, clunky-ish look works perfectly with Viberg vibe and construction, unlike some of the sleeker Viberg efforts at derbies.

Hope this one is a go.

Personally, im not a fan of black or navy suede. Lighter color suede brings out and highlights the texture IMO.

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric
