Thanks Kensman for the order. Arrakis, I am with you on the double solid sole. It would serve the same purpose. Checking into all the information, keep the feedback coming. These are still in the prototype phase. These soles will be available on the new WE-1400 boots we talked about a few weeks ago.

VikingLeather

Thanks for the tip, I will check into it.

I will work out the details and get back with you on them as far as pricing and what they would be available on. Most definitely the newer designs. Real hobnails, I hear ya, I will work on that.

I wanted to post a couple of pics to see if there was an interest in this sort of sole option for boots. Here are the pics:

Hey Mike,

Where do you get those cool pens made anyway? If that is the secret to turning around this economy, I am in for a couple of gross.

As the title states. We have the 12 and 13 Century boots loaded back onto the site. Only a few pairs of each size in stock, so if you want a pair, don't hesitate too long. If you want Vibram soles on the 12th Century boots, choose the option and we will install them for you. 14th Century shoes are b...

Ingvarr, PM me with your color choice of the golden brown, dark brown or black and I will be sure to get some in for you. Since it is you. I wouldn't do this for just anyone. Well, Okay, so maybe I would, but you have asked nicely, so I would be more than happy to get some of the size 14's in for yo...

Hello Paladin,

The tall boots are on the pending order. All the new styles are being produced now, plus we are stocking the taller boots plus some of the Luxury Boots. I may have to knock a wall out of the shop if I keep stocking new designs.

VikingLeather

Hi Lucian, I ordered a few of the tall boots. When I got to them, I ordered what everyone wanted on preorder, and a few extras for us to stock. When I got to the taller boots, I started running out of money. I placed a 10K cap on myself. I probably have your size stashed away, but what size and colo...

VikingLeather

They are on order, but will be around a month or so before they get here I am thinking.

Grimkell, We placed the 13th Century shoes we have in stock on the site. These are with regular welted soles. If you need vibram added, just give me a shout and we can fix you up. Not on the site yet are 12th Century boots. We have those in Dark Brown and Natural, Size 9-13 Mens. I will try to get t...

We have been restocking several styles of shoes. Trying to get vibram soles placed on many pairs, so keep checking back or just ask. Some new boots in stock, 12th Century Boots in Dark Brown and Natural. We just got a few to try them out. Not on the site yet, but if you are interested, ask. Restocke...

Ironbadger, If you are afraid to order from revival, We carry those buckles. We also have them for $2 each plus shipping in a padded envelope, usually only a couple of dollars. Don't order from the site if you are just wanting buckles, it is not smart enough and will charge $4.95 shipping. I can sen...

I think in this case, you might be right Cisco. Stolen isn't the word. Andre did get his product, late, but he did get it. I have never not received an order. Sometimes it is wrong, or has problems, as have many other folks, but it does arrive. I got into this side of the business to try to put myse...

VikingLeather

Okay so how much are they? LOL. That is the sort of pattern I was going to make for myself, but was thinking of cutting from one piece of leather and not sewing down the middle, only on the elbow. I like that sort of design though. So again, how much does the leather shrink up when either waxing or ...

VikingLeather

Hello Caleb, There is a market, but like everything else it is price dependent. Sometimes, it is not worth the extra work for what folks want to pay, but there is a niche of folks that really want their soft kit to be spot on in authenticity. Do you make your own hardware as well? Also, it helps to ...

VikingLeather

Thanks Andy,

Yes I would like to see the pattern. I will PM you about the steel as well. Thanks.

The silver pens are used to mark the darker leathers usually. They are supposed to use the thin tips to mark the leather then cut on the inside of the line. When he is training folks, it seems they always use the pen and press to hard marking a thicker line, then don't cut on the inside. Training is...

VikingLeather

I have been thinking about getting into the wax hardened and water hardened market and was wondering if someone had a pattern I could toy with. I could make a pattern, but I guess I am being a bit lazy and didn't want to reinvent the wheel. Not knowing how much shrinkage to expect etc. Just fishing ...

VikingLeather

As the title says it, I would like to have a tested bazuband pattern to try my hand at making a few sets. If someone has a pattern that they would like to share I would appreciate it. Not knowing the leather shrinkage estimates and differences experienced with the hardening methods, I could use some...

Glad to be of help. Good luck on the sales. Give me a shout and stay in touch Andre.

Hello Ulrich,

Yes sir, they are available in a size 14. Natural leather only.

Frank

VikingLeather

These are a little pricier than some of the other regular boots. These will retail for $79.99, and are available with a vibram or more aggressive sole for those that want to fight in them.

Frank

VikingLeather

This design should fit the bill for those of us that like to wear period shoes while fighting. The sole leather is brought up on the back of the shoe to help strengthen the heel, whle the 3 Toggle design brings the height up to give some extra support to the ankle. Here are the pics on Facebook, als...

VikingLeather

Yes sir, we actually sell all of the Westland shoes and boots, but only actually carry a certain percentage. We have ordered some of the WE-1001 boots. I will make sure to give you a shout when they arrive. You will take the size 11.

Frank

VikingLeather

The WE-1200 are 12th Century
The WE-1400 are 14th Century

More to come as we will be rolling out some other new designs in the near future.

I think you could get away with 13th Century England with them though.

Frank

VikingLeather

And a couple more pics for those of you that don't use or want to go to facebook.

These are on order and should have them in around 4-6 weeks.

Just made a smaller order this time of 100 pairs to see how they look and sell.

Good Luck Draven, Sounds like things have turned around for you. I know what you mean in your post, I went through a divorce and it messes with you for awhile. I didn't lose my tools though. If you need anything, contacts, suppliers, just give me a shout, I would be glad to help out. Frank Viking Le...

Great to hear Andre. Good Luck with your sales down under. If you need anything else that I can help with, give me a shout. Keep in mind that it takes a bit to get the tracking number. Once the package goes to the shipper, then reaches the shipping company, and actually gets into the system takes a ...

VikingLeather

Sorry to hear you are having problems Andre. We are in contact with Westland and will send a message in your behalf. I will not stand up and tell you everything will be alright, but Westland has always delivered my product. Albeit sometimes late, and by a couple months sometimes, but I have always r...

VikingLeather

Looks like the same $65-70 price tag for the welted version, then of course the $10 charge for the vibram option.

Paladin, when I get home tonight, I will place pics of the new shoes on my website for you to take a look at.
