Styleforummarket - Viberg x Styleforum MTO orders - the inaugural edition

[LA Guy]

So, just so there are no misconceptions. I polled the people who ordered the cinnamon boot, and since there was not unanimous agreement on a change from the originally proposed tongue, there will be no change, The togue will be the smooth cinnamon.

Cheers,

Fok.

Ok I can live with cinnamon tongue. I think cinnamon tongue is waaay better than tan

 

[LA Guy]

Tan was a typo. There is no tan leather in stock! Cinnamon is very rich and beautiful.

This. And we are literally one black boot away from me posting the skill testing question. But remember, for this to happen, you have to get at me within the next 5 hours or so.

that's kind of short notice considering people from the other side of the pond might be well asleep, wake up to see they lost the chance to react?

They've known since Monday, if they read this thread.

That said, I'll make you guys a deal. If I wake up on Sunday morning, and the orders are in, I'll make that draw.

Cheers,

Fok.

Have you been able to get your order through? It's really hard for me to put a real name to a screenname sometimes. If you have not, just PM me, and I'll get it figured out.

Password reset successful and Cinnamon boot order in. Looking forward to it, thanks for the hard work, Fok. Cinnamon tongue sounds nice. Any pics?

Nice. I don't have any pictures of a cinnamon tongue, but you can get "some" idea by looking up the Cinnamon boots that were done by the guys at Ironheart. They have some okay looking swatch pictures, but again, color is tough to capture accurately.

I keep flip flopping about hopping on the cinnamon or maybe Haven's boots - more about the sole option than the color. It's coming down to the wire...

 

[rex555]

I had same the same dilemma but ultimately went with the cinnamon boot. I actually had the opportunity to try the Haven boots as well. As nice as the copper Haven boots are, I'm hoping the cinnamon last will just give more of that special wow factor. Maybe I'm just talking out of ******. Either way both boots are really nice.

As a side note on sizing, I found the tts has a little more wiggle room than 1/2 size down. 1/2 down is snug but may stretch out to fit like a glove. I guess which ever way people prefer to wear their boots will ultimately decide which size to get.

I went ahead and put in an order last night.

Hey Fok, did you happen to hear anything back in terms of ordering different sizes per boot? If possible I'd love to be able to get my black service boot in 10.5 for my left and 10 for my right!

I didn't, but I will ask when I put through the order tomorrow. Please put a message on your order through the commerce site so that I have it all consolidated and don't forget, or, worse, do this to someone else, who would appreciate it less, I think,

Cheers,

Fok.

And now, for something awesome and completely different - although we never did make up the minimum for the black boots, we are going to get all three makeups made... and... since we did hit 16+ total orders,.

So... we are going to give someone a pair of boots for just their deposit + shipping. That means that one lucky guy, your boots are nearly entirely paid for! To be eligible for this, please propose a make up for upcoming Viberg x Styleforum, in this form:

Additional details:

Please post this here AND in a message that you can get through through your www.styleforummarket.com account, so that I know who is eligible, and who is not. You have 24 hours.
