Same size in both the 110 and the 2045. Full size down from brannock and half size down from Alden Barrie.

Interesting. I did same size in 2045 as Barrie but I do wear 3/4 orthotic

Congrats and if those derbies are 8.5 I am your man <---- shameless plug. Great scores let's see some pics !!!

Black shell and natural were two others, I believe. The reverse shell looked very interesting.

I find sizing a little maddening and I found out the expensive way that you really need to try on to be sure. I would have thought my 2045 size would be my Barrie size also, but turns out the half size down fits great.

I have 2030 boots that work on my Barrie size, but I have found certain 2030 makeup are too big in that same size.

I saw someone on Reddit with a pair that looked to be mahogany as well.

Interesting and agree. Trying on is only real way. I always bake in money selling at a loss if I buy blind

Really great pickups. Never would have figured the half Japanese and hunter sleek would be in the sale. Amazing

Yeah I gotta say, this year looks like it had better stock than the previous one.

Got this from sample sale. Natural veg tanned horsebutt according viberg Instagram. What are the difference betweeen horsebutt/horsehide/shell? I'm confused. Shout out to Guy! Always recommend unique and cool stuff to me. Can't wait until it ages. There is a website discussing how natural veg tanned leather patina over time:

Damn those are nice, was hoping for a proxy on those. What size are they?

 

[Edmund K]

Size 8. Guy told me this is the only pair they made. I don't know why.... Maybe it is a difficult color to wear, but he said it will age nicely. He recommended a horsehide derby last year and I'm very happy with it.

If anyone has size 8 any last from sample sale, let me know!

 

[mojahanafiah]

Someone going to sample sale pls buy me any pair in size 9

As posted, yesterday I bought the V x SF "half Japanese" 145 derby. It is really a fantastic make up and something one will likely not see again. In fact, it will likely be rare that we see another 145 derby on the 110 last period since Viberg seems to be moving in a different stylistic direction.

Kudos to the person who originated the "half Japanese" model and to those who backed it.

Out of curiosity, why was it called the "half Japanese"?

 

[meso]

That would be @linafelt who came up with the fantastic makeup.

It's a half-sole work oxford similar to those in the Japanese market.

No relationship to the band or, uhm, racism.

I've been eyeing the veg tan kangaroos for a while just don't have the extra cash at the moment.
