Styleforum's "Just what Santa should have brought" Viberg GMTO thread, 2016

Yes. The only other change is that for stitchdown, only white stitching is possible for the sole stitching.

I heard from Drew, and SOME mushroom chamois is available, I am just waiting for his go ahead, but that part of the order, you may only get a week to get on it, since it is very limited, it seems. The other makeups will get the usual 10 days.

Cheers,

Fok.

Not to jump the gun but will there be priority for those who voted for the original makeup?

Whoever buys them first will get first priority, since it would be unfair to someone who gets in on the first day to get bumped one week later. However, if orders came in at essentially the same time, then we would decide in favor of the person who has participated in the voting. In other words, yes, there will be a preference for "voters", but that vote should not be considered a saved spot in the line.

I really did go into this wanting something much lighter in tone though. But interested to see what Brett says

I understand and this is your make up. I don't mean to hijack it (but would really love a chelsea in the chamois) and hoping to sway you. The original owner of the scout boot said that they actually have lightened up a bunch with wear.

Same view here

Same - but I really am liking the color, tone, and texture of that leather.

I hope to have an answer to go ahead today.

which side of the leather are you guys thinking? rough out or smooth? those pictures contain both

I think that the pictures are just deceiving - chamois is hard to capture, since it's grain side, but it's brushed to create a nap.

We'd be looking at the grain side in each of those pics.

If they are in fact different, I would prefer whatever L&F is using (appears they are claiming it's rough out side).

 

[Rogerdoger]

Yeah don't do the smooth side. Use the rough-out side, the brush upped nap looks killer.

But... you'll have to call it the "Frank boot" as your stealing his make-up lol

Hmmm - well. I guess that I'll ask Drew what's what.

Frank is a great guy - I'll talk to him about this,. He might be tickled to be an #influencer.

I'm getting excited about the RydenFrank Chelsea.

 

[FENWAY]



I think I'd be on board if this were possible.  I'm not sure about the other options.  I know these things happen and I don't blame anybody, but my level of enthusiasm for the alternatives just isn't the same - but I'm trying to keep an open mind.

Also isn't the snuff suede the same as what Mr. Porter had?  Missed a chance to grab those for around $490 a few days back...

I was lucky enough to grab a pair of the snuff chelsea's from Mr Porter.....very impressed! I'd probably buy the mushroom too as long as not on dainite

edit: shoot, was hoping for the chelsea on half sole.

So, yes, roughout side, and there is a very limited selection.

However, we are in a race with another stockist for leather, so I need to order by... very early next week. You guys are going to essentially have the weekend for that make your order for that. Not kidding - you will have until the beginning of the 5th, and I will place the order with Viberg for that makeup only. Past that, you may be able to order, but there is zero guarantee. The will be $695, shipped worldwide, so there are no hidden costs, etc... Place your pre-order, here:

http://www.styleforummarket.com/the-rydenfrank-mushroom-chamois-roughout-chelsea/

The other makeups, you will have a total of 10 days to mull over, but not on this one. I will tell you that all the prices are nearly ridiculously reasonable this time. I don't have time yet to put those on the store, but will try to do that either tonight or over the weekend. Sorry, just got off the phone with Drew, and this is the deal.
