It’s been a hot second since we’ve dropped our last Viberg for Withered Fig, the Mushroom Chamois Roughout 145 Oxford. The response to our first two Vibergs has been huge for us, and we continue to be floored by the support. A big thanks to all of you who support Withered Fig and make this happen. For this next release, we’re bringing out the second iteration of the Marvington boot (in collaboration with @cuffington and …
Viberg Boot has a long and storied history, steeped in its roots of work boots for the common working man. It remains as one of the few namesake boot manufacturers left in North America. Beginning in 1931 with Edwin Viberg, this Canadian company operating out of Victoria B.C. is now in its 3rd generation with Ed’s son, Glen Viberg, putting some of the finishing touches on every single pair of boots, and Glen’s son, Brett Viberg spearheading the future of Viberg. It’s that personal connection to the family that each and every pair of boots has that makes Viberg boots so unique.
We teamed up with @nathanchung once more to bring about another video for our second pair coming out of Victoria B.C. – the Viberg Mushroom Chamois Roughout 145 Oxford. Product photos and descriptions can only tell so much. As primarily an online retailer, we do our best in communicating the details in each piece we sell through those product pages. However, when we can, we try to tell the story of a product through video. Here …
Previous Next Viberg for Withered Fig Aged Bark Roughout ‘Marvington’ Service Boot is our first boot we introduced back in May 2018. For our first make-up, we wanted something that would have broad appeal so that more customers could take part in this first release. At the same time, we didn’t want anything too common that you could easily find elsewhere (think CXL + Dainite Sole). Absolutely nothing wrong with those, as I own a …

CHUP Socks is the brainchild of their director, Mr. Hashimoto. They have made their presence known in the boots and workwear community as you will often find a pair of Red Wings or Vibergs paired with a CHUP sock. CHUP consistently delivers unique patterns that pay homage to past and current folk and indigenous cultures. Using a low gauge stocking frame machine and the addition of hand-linked toes results in a laborious process that produces about 30 socks per day.
Corridor NYC really shines in their shirting and their ability to use unique fabrics in a subtle form. The benefit of that comes in being able to wear a shirt appropriate for many occasions, while at the same time being much more interesting than your standard button-up. Coming from government work, where fashion is often an afterthought, owner Dan Snyder sought to create a shirt that fit just as well as it looked – their signature three-panel fit, a fit that is slim without being constricting.
After our first Viberg for Withered Fig release, we were excited to see what else was next and what we could create with Viberg. We went through a few different ideas from another Service Boot, to a Slipper, and various smooth and roughout leathers. Ultimately, the stars aligned for our second makeup to come out of the Viberg factory exclusively for Withered Fig – the 145 Oxford in Mushroom Chamois Rougout. Noting the lack of …
