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

[Whirling]

After requesting a refund of my $20 vote for @Rydenfan's Chelsea because I felt bummed about missing Mr. P's Chelsea deals, now I am tempted by the Shroomer's Chelsea. How big an idiot would I look if I turned around and preordered it? I want everybody's opinion, even the unkind ones.

Well, after reading this and the Viberg thread, the reverse mushroom chamois is not only rare but looks freakin' nice.

So, if you are in the market for a Chelsea, that leather sure would make for a nice Chelsea..

And what's nifty is you can check out that guy Franks chelsea boots on IG and evaluate them fo' yo' self.

So the answer to your question is, you wouldn't look like an idiot at all if you got on board. ...

The facts changed and then changed again. So you are entitled to change your view as a result. If you like the boot and have a need for it, go ahead and order it.

Well, you'd still get the additional discount.

I dunno - things kept on changing in that makeup... I was pretty confused and a bit discouraged as well about that one, tbh.

Just to be sure that I understand, we have 9 days to order the non-Chelsea boots, correct?

It will actually be 7. Unfortunately, the evening go away from me, and I am going out of town for some R&R this weekend, so the other makeups will not be ready for ordering until Monday. You will have a week from Monday to preorder the remaining 3.

Cheers,

Fok.

For the same reason, all of you RydenFrank orderers, I will not be able to reimburse you until monday, either for the predeposit, the discount for the original voters, or both. But you will be reimbursed on Monday or the discount refunded.

Sorry, but I just won't have my computer with me for a couple of days.

Cheers,

Fok.

No worries man. We're all here because we like Viberg Boots. The more the merrier - just hope there is enough of the leather for everyone.

why is nothing on the 2030 last?

why is nothing on the 2030 last?

I guess that no one suggested it? Also, we've done so many on the 2030 last - I think that for the past 2 GMTOs, everyone has suggested other, less ubiquitous, lasts.

Viva el 110!

Thanks man. Just waiting for my wife to finish teaching yoga (I have had 5 days of hard workouts, and I wanted the extra full day off to recover) and then on my way. I'll answer questions from my crap cellphone intermittently, but I think that for the chelsea, at least, you have all the answers that I have readily in hand.

Cheers,

Fok.

May someone please familiarise those of us who aren't familiar with Viberg's offerings?

Is the GTMO essentially these chelseas (with a dainite sole):



In this color?




And how does the 2050 last compare to the usual 2030 or AE?

Thanks!

 

[rydenfan]

Yup. That's the makeup. It's gonna be pretty sick!

 

[bry2000]

What color will the elastic side goring be?
