For the copper task boot:

1035 last
dainite sole (anything but leather, really)
7 brass eyelets

Thoughts? I also really like the makeup the Bureau just released. New gloxi sole looks interesting

I agree on the dainite & eyelets but I'm leaning towards the 110 last.

I really like the shape of the original Cabourn collab & I believe it was in that last.

In on the derby if on the last and with the sole pictured on Tumblr. Not interested in a different last or sole. This EXACT make up in natural CXL.

My Essex boots just shipped. Looking forward to finally getting them, confirming my Viberg size, and then locking up my credit card to avoid buying anymore...


Pics when you get them! Congrats.

I'm with Scott. However, is it just me, or do the derby's not look as great from other angles. For example:

They look great to me. Don't look like 2030 last though so I wish Guy would chime in.

Dainite sole so we can wear them in the rain, please. I know nobody likes it but the thin white Vibram Harrier sole looks good as well. Something that would allow all-weather wear.

I'm thinking Dainite. Makes the most sense considering the inspiration.

I prefer the double leather as in the pic, but if one wanted to compromise you could just add a dainite heel as Viberg does on their french calf boots. But Im not sure how that would look on a derby.
