Do we have a list of all the gmto make ups we've done with viberg so far?
Er... they are in the system somewhere. I am on an enforced vacation (my wife feels that I work too much, so...), but I'll see what I can do about digging it all out and listing them at some point.

Yup. My closet, ha!
Pretty close. I think that you missed the last round though. Bad move man. It was a good round.

Any plans on pitching more Styleforum GMTO for viberg? I still have my brown wax boot I got through styleforum a couple of years ago, love it so much I'm thinking of another pair! I'd kill for a batch of viberg cabourn with rivets

Oh I will, just waiting to hear back from them on a couple of things/inconsistencies first! Give me a couple of days, by the weekend for sure! I already have a gallery!

edit: I got some saphir grey medaille d'or saturday, polished (dyed) the greenish panel last night to make them all uniform grey, added my own grey laces, looking sharp! Let me get some pics hopefully tonight in some natural light when I get home, I'll post asap!

Gandalf the (mostly) Grey!

This first round of the gallery were just to show an inconsistency in dyeing (one panel was more of a tan).

I've since taken the Saphir Medalle d'Or Grey and evened the grey out/made the one panel grey, now I'm awaiting the... the Saphir wax (luxe paste?) to arrive in the mail later in the week to bring a proper sheen back to the boots.

I'm quite satisfied with the evened out leather color, nice proper grey.

A little disappointed that at this price I had to fix the dyeing for them, as well as the blemishes, seems quality control could stick to one color and discard blemishes, but the boots are sharp, feel great, seem very well made. And I love polishing and care anyway, so that's no real big deal.

Recreated the gallery to show off the boots, they're looking greyt!

Exactly what I'd hoped for!

I added some waxed grey laces. They're much less blue in person, but there's still a little, so I'm still on the shop for purer grey if anyone has a line on any.

That's the full gallery, probably... 8 images. All SFW of course unless your work has a policy against boots or concrete or horribly large pant cuffs. I really need to get those hemmed but I never wear them and forget...
