I know they do it for other stockists, see the 110 that was posted above for Radiance Blue. Brett flat out denied us - http://www.styleforum.net/t/501762/...vailable-now-until-august-16/780#post_7992431.

So, I don't know how many of you watch the charity auction thread, but, you should start. Sometime within the next two weeks, and I will not say when, there will be a special auction for a pair of special MTO Viberg boots. In shell. Um, yeah, Brett just volunteered them. Incredibly generous, and really, a chance that will not come around again, as you all know, since Viberg does not do any MTOs any more.

Here are the parameters:
Available leathers: Navy. Natural and color 8 available.
Last: 2030 last.
Construction: Flat welt or split welt
Eyelets: 7 AA (regular, large sized, not recommended) or 8 small (#2 or hidden eyelets)
Edging: Choice Natural edge. Antique edge or Black edge.
Sole: Leather or dainite
Kip lined.
ToeL Choice of plain toe, straight cap toe or brogued capttoe.

Brett: "Basically custom one off boot".

The bidding will start at $800 when this starts.

Drops mic.

Walks away.

Well these will be going for a pretty penny. Thanks Brett!

So cool of Brett! Should be a nice boost to the donation

I heart blue shell

Holy crap! The only excuse I would have for bidding on those would be that it's for a good cause. I can see them going for $1,500. And why not? Galways go for that.

Very, very generous of Brett.

Yes, kudos to Brett.

I am very much behind the idea of a Boondocker, corded sole, stitch down, 2045 last (or 110 if need be). I hope we can make that happen with the next GMTO.

Apparently, there is natural shell as well. Brett just sent me this picture. If I were to win this, I would get this color for real.

Could someone possibly publicize this on /r/goodyearwelt?

Thanks dudes.

Fok.

Just did it. Funny thing is I made the post right as you were posting this. A lot of Viberg lovers over there.

Just did it.

Thanks man.

Any chance of stitch down for these? Had to ask...

Nyet. Brett, and everyone at Viberg, hates working with stitchdown and shell.

Honestly, you want a protective welt on shell anyway, all things being equal.

That was something special between Context and Horween and we will not be using that leather.

Glad I got the Context horse butt. Had no idea they would be so rare.
