Viberg x Styleforum GMTO - Round one for 2017

[jlchau]

@LA Guy which Iron Heart jeans are you having thigh trouble with?

There's a new cut, the 888, coming soon. It's a bit more generous there, but with a taper down to the ankle. it might work well for you.

Looks like 3Sixteen have stolen my slipper idea. Unfortunately they don't normally go up to a 13, so I can't get a pair from them...

I'm sure if you contact them they might be able to put an order for your size in if they haven't placed their order yet. Not sure if they'll have the mini ripple though since Johan's have a leather sole.

@jlchau I might hold off chasing up Johan until I see what slippers we come up with for the Styleforum GMTO. But I would like a pair of his ripple-sole service boots.

For those interested in the 2045... any chance folks would go for a cap toe? If can't be changed, what are folks thoughts about the sole options GTE left?
Cheers,

I'm totally in for the Chelsea if we can consider brown horsebutt as one of the options (already have waxed flesh Service Boots as part of one of the last few rounds of MTOs). A dressy shitkicker in some form of dark brown smooth leather would be real nice - the Tan horsehide ones are too light, and there are already enough roughout/suede makeups on the market.

This'll all have the channeled goodyear welt, right?

 

[LA Guy]

I bring you hot fiya.

1) In kangaroo, we can do a washed brown for the slipper.
And... in the horse options, we have the following, in VERY LIMITED quantities. Tell me if you guys are interested. The bottom two are "seed" and "fango", respectively.

The Fango might be super cool for the slipper, I think, but the quantities are very limited, so...

Wonder if the top 2 options would be choices we could consider for the Chelsea boots -
The top as an option vs Black oil tan rough out
The 2nd from the top as an option vs. the natural waxed flesh

The problem with ANY of those horse are that they are extremely limited. Let me see how many pairs we can get out of each of those leathers.

I can not believe I had to poke my nogin in here...ugh

 

[Graemsay]

The Fango might be super cool for the slipper, I think, but the quantities are very limited, so...

Since the slipper was initially my idea, I'd go with the Fango.

Upthere in Melbourne are doing a brown slipper on a white mini-ripple, and I think 3Sixteen are doing a natural kangaroo one, so I'd like there to be a bit of difference in what we're offering.

Alternatively, go for something a bit darker. I quite like the idea of a murdered out version (black horse on a black mini-ripple).

When do we start speaking w/our$?

 

[pema]

I would get behind the 110 Scout in almost any of the horse leathers. Anyone else?
