Viberg for Styleforummarket Order #2: Suggestions

[LA Guy]

We are going to limit leather choices to the ones we have posted here, and some grey ones, for this round - otherwise things get a little chaotic, and we end up proposing a bunch of stuff that Viberg doesn't have enough leather to do decent runs in, in a reasonably amount of time. We already have some pretty unique leathers, including a brown that looks a lot like that kangaroo boot.

Of course, everything else is up for grabs

No love for loden green srrvice boot? I think it looks great

I'd be interested in a green boot

Agreed - my last shots of the loden really failed. It's a super dark moss green - nearly black under some lights. I really like it, but it's also really hard to photograph.

Cheers,

Fok.

I'd say even darker than that, in lost light - like the darkest part of that picture.

^ I would definitely be in for those.

With the first round pretty much wrapped up, I will open this up again. I am going to post the grey swatches once I get the greenlight from Guy. How about we try for 3 styles this time around? I'll send at least the favorite two to the store.

Take a look at the main Viberg thread for inspiration: http://www.styleforum.net/t/224463/viberg-boots/ Think about how awesome a boondocker like boot would look like in Tan Bison.

Cheers,

Fok.

YES FOK . YES.

This is the boot I want to get weird with. Let this happen

See, that's what I'm talking about. That's four already. What last, do you guys think? 2040? Dainite sole? How about Loden, natural welt, black dainite sole. Antique brass eyelets. Brogued cap toe. That could look phenomenal.

Okay, so I really like the Bison too, but I really don't want to see whatever you are thinking of doing. Hmmm.... You think like, a double leather sole, and the 110 last, which are both like the bookdocker, but would you guys like to see a plain toe, or a brogued cap toe. I think that either could look really good. Personally, I think that the brogued toe would look extra special, but I like both.

Not sure last wise but the natural welt / double black dainite / brass eyelets is good. Captoe I'm open. Toe is structured correct?

Man, I'm just waiting for those grey swatches =/

Quote:
I do like the 110 for them, double leather or dainite either works for me. I really prefer the plain toe on it though. I want the bison leather to dominate the boot more than anything similar to how the boondocker has the roughout become the focus of attention on it.

What were you thinking on eyelet/hooks and their color? 10 eyelets in black would look amazing against the textured tan bison

Tongue I think black chromexcel would look really nice.

The black and tan colorway consistent throughout would be cool

Any interest in a bison chukka?

Fok: Your suggestion of " How about Loden, natural welt, black dainite sole. Antique brass eyelets. Brogued cap toe." sounds so great that I may even buy in even though I was thinking I couldn't afford to!! I have the Viberg loden green 110 last chukkas--the leather is so great. You're right about taking pictures--it does almost look black until you wear something like black pants with them and you see the green. I didn't think I'd want another pair of loden green boots, but with your suggestion, who knows?
