Seidel Aged Bark Roughout
Back in the land before time there was a young Brett Viberg who teamed up with a young but still pretty old Nigel Cabourn to create one of the most epic pairs of boots ever made! It is said that to satisfy Nigels boot masochism Brett burned these boots with acid and beat them with a hammer until perfection was finally reached. The world applauded their sacrifice and showered them with fortunes. All those who could not get the boot would forever be doomed to be erormous chodes. Then like 50 or 60 years later a great dude named thread.and.steel decided to just have the boot remade, with some modifications, at a Viberg MTO event. Unfortunately Brett no longer had the will nor the strength to harm a boot like he had for Nigel so instead thread.and.steel enlisted the great but incredibly cruel imustbefrank to maim and abuse the boot. The deed was done and thread.and.steel was the bearer of the choosen boot. All boot lovers fell to their knees before its greatness. The final boot had been made and there would never be another. However it was foretold deep within the Viberg boot forge that due to some sizing mishap there was another. A thousand years passed, then at a Viberg sample sale in NYC the lost replica of the choosen boot had been unearthed and sold to a common man who had immediately recognized the boot for what it was. However without access to the cruelty of Viberg employees this common man wore these boots for 6 straight months in the hope they could rech the greatness of its forefathers. That man is me. True story.
