Straight cap it is! *******, Fok, count me in for this boot with the straight cap and unstructured toe.



And might I add a mighty "haha!" to the Blue Collar SK who it seems may lose out not to the GSK, but the dark horse of the bunch, the Natty CXL!

Just placed another vote for nat CXL (assuming straight cap toe), since I'd rather not tempt the fates with the Mr Porter scramble to be
We'll take care of you.

Cheers,

Fok.

Understatesman, what could you possibly have against a blue collar shitkicker boot that looks like this (except in all black)??



I mean seriously...it's gorgeous! It's also impossible to find anywhere! What's not to love about it??

^ Ok, that is a pretty nice shape, I'll admit. Personally, it wouldn't work for me with my narrow feet.

thoughts on blind eyelets and maximum allowable eyelets on the natural CXL boots ?


I would be out for sure; only change I would make to the current set-up is making it plain-toe....sinus like there is not enough support for that, though...

Understatesman, really tried to vote bison but ended up chromepak.
I've communicated this to you guys before, but the Chromepak boot is not going to be made on the same timeframe as the other boots. The reason is that they do not yet have the leather in stock, and so Viberg is, very reasonably. not allowing an orders for it to be made until they have a more clear idea of the order and the order itself. The votes are to show that we have a show of force, have spoken for orders, and can order in a fairly large quantity (as in, dozens at a time).

It seems, as of now, that I will be trying to get 4 makeups made in the immediate future: The Cabourn tribute boot, the natural CXL boot, the Blue Collar shitkicker, and the bison. If you are looking for a January delivery, those are the ones you should be getting on now.

Cheers,

Fok.
