Don't you know everyone wants 16 eyelets?

Yea. Enough Charles Dickens ****. Plenty of makeups out there at stockists with foolish quantities of eyelets. These have a nice old-timey work look that is still somehow casual. A few pages back we briefly discussed the 5-eyelet makeup. I'm pretty sure that for a GMTO they would do it, though it would be nice to know for sure if @LA Guy could find out

Those look like Dayton service boots...?

Not greatest shot but these had one of the tougher breakins but getting so comfortable now

Not gonna happen, bro. I can tell you that for a certainty. It's 7 or 8, and Brett may be putting additional restrictions. We'll see.

They are from Vibergs journal.

That's really too bad. Not even 6?? Suddenly the MTO doesn't feel much like a MTO...

MTO doesn't mean free-for-all. Think of it as any other sort of MTO from any other brand - there are always a list of customization choices. The number of eyelets has always been 7 normal or 8 mini. This is not news.

I'm all about that new Chelsea shape. Let's pick a cool leather like kudu, bison or chamois and roll

Fair enough. It's just surprisingly rigid (though I know the whole story about setting machines a certain way and not wanting to have to change them, etc.). I also get that the SF MTO is "special" since it is the only one Viberg does now. Still, would be nice to have more options on such minor things like this.

I spoke to Viberg about this and I doubt they'll do it now. They won't be debuting them until trade shows this summer with projected release dates in the fall.

Looking forward to receiving my belated Xmas present to myself, from the RMDH auction --- pit tanned bison Service Boots. And thanks to everyone who contributed suggestions as to what to select from Notre's stock.

Brooklyn carries a lot of great Vibergs but when I walked in these jumped out at me. They have some texture on the sides that give them character. I have the bison and these are as interesting but in a different way. The owner and staff were helpful and easy to talk to. If you are ever in Calgary you need to stop in. A great selection of jeans and jackets also.

I just ordered that same model on Sunday! Those pics are making me more excited.

Feels like Viberg has more restrictions than most other brands lately for their MTOs. I'm not complaining at all as the option is still greatly appreciated and Brett obviously has the right to maintain his brand image.

Did somebody say MTO? Oil-tanned brown leather and Bologna rubber soles would have been perfect for today's drizzly cold weather.

You may be able to convince Brett to do a 5 eyelet chukka or similar, no?
That boot the OP showed didn't loo like a 6" boot.
