Mocha… That last is perfect. Maybe brass eyelets.

Sexy

sean, are we just talking service boots or are we able to shout for an oxford as well?

@misterjuiceman:

@mclaincausey:

I think a service boot mixing rough and smooth out leather of the same tone would be cool. Rough on ankle support and/or heel counter, for example.

Something like this?

i'd be down for something like this i think. all black everything!

^Whatever you want, Rafa.  No restrictions.  My intention was to make a 2014 version of this thread:

http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4273.msg224332#msg224332

So play around with some ideas, have fun, and see if anyone else is like-minded and looking for the same build.  IIRC, some great builds came of this last year; worth another shot in 2014, right?

[Finn666]

gotcha, thanks for opening this thread!

[seanocono]

My pleasure.

Full disclosure: I did it for selfish reasons. haha.

cant afford a pair atm, but an oxford in black r/o would be sick. pretty much the only build if prefer a vibram christy sole for.

a boondocker-like boot would also be awesome, but with rubber soles..

do viberg offer something that resembles a chelsea boot ? id love one in like natural cxl r/o or the vintage tan.

Not that I know of.  You could go with a chukka like this:

With this leather (Vintage Tan r/o):

[misterjuiceman]

No more vintage tan roughout as far as I know. I think the closest thing is the copper task roughout, which is very nice.

[seanocono]

Good to know.  Thanks for the info, misterjuiceman.  I agree the copper task is very nice.  Check it out here:

Black Oxford rough out is available and on sale at  Inventory Stockroom

^right you are, pretty tempting..

[madmonday]

Awesome thread idea

[natehate]

viberg really has made it hard on us that want a specific boot
oh well

[JCar2666]

I would be up for these in a heartbeat

[ChuckDenim]

^ me too 

or a Scout version

[JCar2666]

Well that's two of us.  I still know very little about putting a build together.  Don't really know whats what.  But what is a Scout version?

[BrownIcon]

just bringing [this] back to see if i can get like-minded peeps.  i'm flexible on the leather choice.

A) Tan Bison Scout boot

Leather: tan bison
Model: Scout boot
Last: 2005/2040
Toecap: none, unstructured toe
Sole: Commando or Cat'sPaw Half-sole, natural
Eyelets: 7 antique brass eyelets

if seems there's not enough peeps who voted for the Tan Bison Scout who ACTUALLY put in the order.  it'd be a shame to waste the opportunity to acquire a fab & unique build up such as this.

honestly,  the 1 & only apprehension i have that's preventing me from pulling the trigger are the leather soles …. 'just could never get used to them.  but,  if  they're  EXACTLY  like the soles on the 8" ENGINEER BLACK [Japanese] HORSEHIDE__ ie, Cat's Paw half-soles,  i'm mosdef on board.

the mash-up:

[Spring Son of Light]

Anyone have any interest in a short engineer boot? I think this would be radical for those who wear teh tapered denims. Thoughts?

[Rusettipst]

How about these:

with this sole:
