Poor man's watch thread
Absolutely love that. I'd be perfectly happy with it being quartz, even though I like automatics/manuals I think it's nice to have a dependable quartz and Grand Seiko quartz movements are more special than an average quartz movement.- Reiver

Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours
I only have one pair of Viberg and they're brown CXL. I definitely think they're worth it, mine are 2 years old worn regularly and holding up great.- Reiver

The Desert Boot and Chukka appreciation/review thread
Finally got my 8 year old Red Wing Chukka's resoled. Went with a Vibram Gloxi for a change and really liking it so far. Good to have these back in action This is before the resole showing how worn the old sole was- Reiver

Red Wing boot appreciation thread
My 8 year old pair just back from a resole. I decided to try the Vibram Gloxi Cut sole for a change and because the cobbler recommended it. Really happy with how they turned out. These have been worn fairly regularly over 8 years and I still think they have many years left in them.- Reiver

They are great, shame they've become too costly to repair but it's interesting to see such a worn pair.- Reiver

They're looking amazing! Do you like the Saphir CXL cream? I've been considering trying it as I'm in the UK so VSC is difficult to get. I currently use Smiths leather balm on mine very occasionally but I'm not sure if it's the best product for CXL or not- Reiver

Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread
I had a pair of these and really rated them quite highly. I only sold them as I had an opportunity to buy some Crockett & Jones Snowdon veldt boots in zug and couldn't justify keeping both. I think in hindsight these were more comfortable than the Snowdons which I still have, this was mainly...- Reiver

His work looks really good and he’s very helpful. I need to get my red wings to him soon. My Vibergs have got years left in the soles but I wanted to know someone in UK could repair before I bought them.- Reiver

Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours
I spoke to Yorkshire Sole about this before I bought my Viberg's. He said he can do them but he would be handstitching them which incurs extra cost. I think he mentioned £150 from memory so roughly £50 more than a machine stitched GYW. https://yorkshiresole.co.uk I also rate Shoe Healer and...- Reiver

Crown Northampton Appreciation Thread
Fingers crossed for a simple solution. I'd love a pair of these but can't justify the cost right at this point. I was interested to hear that they made you two pairs. Do they just sell the other pair off in a factory shop or something? I didn't think they would do this with the shell sneakers...- Reiver

Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours
Don't know if this is the reason but all Alden shell has a coating put on top so will be more resistant to water spotting from new than Viberg who leave the shell in a more natural state. I've heard wiping down witha damp cloth followed by brushing is the best way to remove spots and that some...- Reiver

The Shell Cordovan, non-Alden Shoe and Boot Thread
I think shell cordovans surface does start out like this before the tannery finishes and glazes it so it looks like this has been removed.- Reiver

The Shell Cordovan, non-Alden Shoe and Boot Thread
Sold my pair earlier this year sadly. Had to accept they weren’t a good fit. The Shannon find have made up for it though- Reiver
