Woah, we're loving the Tan Horsehide. Can't imagine how those will look broken in. 


You guys getting them?

I think Viberg is releasing soon on their site.

No plans of getting them thus far.

They are on Vibergs site now though.

EDIT: Those sold fast...


No this is wrong. The restock has not gone live yet. Viberg will send out an announcement on their newsletter email list. All we have seen as of now is an Instagram teaser.

Been wearing the Brandys roughly every other day since I got them. They've been through maybe a half dozen applications of Venetian and get brushed before every wear, as well on some days I leave them out in the sun. Last night my gf remarked how they're starting to have some interesting color variations appear...

Is there anyway to get indigo bleeding off the natty roughout of Boondockers?  I don't mind it, but am currently trying to sell and its the only real issue on them after less than 10 wears.  


No.

Please take pride in your indigo blood!

In all seriousness, I've seen this question asked 100+ times. No one I know has ever successfully cleaned indigo from suede w/o ruining the leather.

Calf + 1035 is a well balanced combination

I agree. I do think that as noted above - it wouldn't work with a fine italian wool suit, for example. Would need to be tweed or something heavier. I have some summer weddings coming up and my go-to suit is a lightweight wool, pretty dressy looking. I hemmed and hawed about picking these up or maybe the horsehide re-stock, but in the end I nabbed a pair of the midnight chukkas on the 2030. I think they will look fly with a suit and I can still always dress them down with selvedge denim, etc. I hate buying something for just one function - it needs to have multiple applications in my wardrobe, especially footwear.

You could be right. The thick soles and boot height might be a bit much with dressy pants. The other problem is functional: the suit pants are cut fairly slim and tapered (not skinny though) and they don't quite fall right on high boots. With that said, I'm contemplating ordering the olive calf just to test out the look and I'll keep what works better between that and the chukkas...
