New Viberg for Styleforum GMTO makeups

[Raneleigh]

Pricing is in.

1) Natural CXL boot = $765 shipped worldwide. Mr Porter will have a very limited run of this in a few weeks. However, seeing that we have over half of the pledges that they have ordered, there is no way they can fulfill demand. We will also price match them, shipped. We will do no less than $5% lower. I will actually keeps this pre-order open for 3 days after Porter drops, because I am confident that we can set demand better, at a better price, because we are a community doing mto, and don't have the same overhead. I doubt that Porter will come in under $800 on this.

2) Cabourn tribute boot = $735

3) Blue collar shitkicker = $720

5) Bison boot (I may make this on a white mini ripple, pm me if that is what you want. That would be the only change.) $710, shipped worldwide where legal.

Remember, once I get this up, you will get your "earnest money" back when you preorder.

Cheers,

Fok.

SO EXCITED!!! TAKE MY MONEY TAKE MY MONEY TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

Wow---I am beyond impressed that y'all are keeping the Natty CXL pre-order open past the Porter drop....

I'll probably get the Bison since that's what I voted for. I'm so happy it's getting made.

I'm a little intrigued by the BCSK. the only thing that's holding me back is I'm not sure how to size for the 110 last.

They are not getting that many, and they can't possibly match our prices. That, and the demand that will create, is good for us. If you want a guaranteed better price and a guaranteed pair... It's a no brainer. I want everyone to know that if you want something special at a good price, our community is where it's at.

We don't want anyone to feel pressured into a preorder in order to be assured of getting a pair. We want everyone to do it because we are clearly the best choice.

I'm the same size in the 110 as all the other lasts, though the 2030 is a little narrow for me in the toebox, so I could size up a half size on the 2030. But in general, I size the same.

Some people size down a half size in the 110 and I have done that before. It's a little short, that is...my toe reaches the tip/front, but it's not uncomfortable, just a snug fit length wise. Width wise it's good. I have to wear thinner socks if I size down a half though. I'd rather take my normal size and be able to wear regular or even thicker type socks.

You interested in a white mini ripple?

In a 110, I take the same size as the 2030. One important consideration is the thickness and toughness of the oil tan. It's a classic workboot leather. It stretches a lot less than the softer leathers.

Just dumped my OSBs on eBay... stoked for the Natty CXL!

I'll admit that I was more interested in the Bison as advertised, with a beige ripple sole. However, I feel a bit obligated to get it now that it's white mini-ripple sole, since I already voted for it.

It's still an interesting shoe, perhaps even more so now. Perhaps someone can photoshop a mock-up with a white mini-ripple to help with the decision-making.

I have a Viberg Derby (2030 last) in 10.5 that was a little tight (and about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch long) when I first put it on but has since stretched to a comfortable width. I know the 110 is wider but wasn't sure if I should size down. It seems a great risk to buy a shoe in a last that I've never tried on before

Oh, we can't ship to Italy or Russia. And some African countries. That's just in general. Nothing to do with bison.

Didn't know that. Luckily I'm in the US, but ty for the information.

Just to clarify: If the mini ripple is not going to be done on a stacked leather midsole like Johan's boot, how will it be done?

 

[LA Guy]

It would have the regular foam wedge filler.

We would not make the change unless all committed parties agreed to it, but both Guy and I agreed that it could look quite cool. One makeup would have more color contrast, the other, more immediately striking sole unit.

looks like neither boot i put $20 toward is kicking into production not that it is a big deal, but it was mentioned the "earnest" money gets refunded AFTER pre-order, since i won't be pre-ordering this round, i will still get it back, correct?
