looks like stitched twice? I can see stitch holes under the cap toe, and looks misaligned to the stitches on top of the cap toe.
Oh that could be too maybe, someone on reddit suggested that they pulled a bit from being lasted too tightly as well

Tangentially related, but a little throwback hat action for you. The hat itself is about the same quality you'd expect from a truck stop snapback from the 1970s to be quite honest, but I still love the look. The yellow color is a little deeper in person, and the brown is a bit lighter and more chocolatey. Came in a nice sized Viberg bag too.

That is the 2040, correct? How does the instep fit you in that size? Not too snug?
Its my 3rd pair on 2040 and they're all the same. This last I don't believe has changed at all. First couple wears are stiff, but not snug in the instep. Its overall my best fit from Viberg.

I hope we get more cap toe 2040s in the future.

i just got my 2040 1071 HB and the instep is much lower and snug than newer 2040's :(
It has the older style inserts so that may be pushing your foot up more. The last is the same though.

In case Viberg doesn't get back to me, is anyone able to confirm that the Zabri suede on the black Mr Porter derby boots is full grain?
