IHSB-BB-NAT - Natural Horsehide Jacket - The Bareback

[Chris]

That leather really does show every tiny little thing, doesn't it?  I'm guessing it will be less noticeable as it darkens and changes color, but I kinda like how quickly it becomes unique to each owner.

[Max Power]

Yeah, it literally shows anything. Every raindrop, every small scratch. But that's part of the attraction, it gets patina with every single wear. I might one day treat it with Mustang paste, I guess it evens out then.

Love the evo

Has anyone tried any kind of conditioner on this? I wanted to use Mccoys horse oil as the standard and strange vanishing point had excellent results with it but it's not available outside of Japan. I might use Mustang Paste soon.

I used Obenaufs oil…

I haven’t done anything to mine, but I know wlemon used Pecard Leather Dressing before I got it.

Thank you both!

@Giles will these be restocked? And if so, would I take my normal IH jacket size? (normally an xxl)

[Max Power]

I wear XL in this, the ihj 35 and most IH tops as vests, denim jackets and shirts. So yes, I'd go with your usual size.

Yes, as the product page says "Continuous Production".  Are being made atm.

I take the same size.

Just started applying Mustang paste. Kinda drastic change, but I think the colour will be wonderful when it all settled.

Wow, that is pretty drastic. Looks good, though.

Looks good, is that just a leather protectant? I’ve never owned a leather jacket, this will be my first in my 42 years.

Mustang Paste is a horse oil blend and it’s fantastic stuff! It does make natural leather turn a honey brown but personally I like the color quite a lot. I used it on a pre-owned Billingham bag I bought on ebay and it refreshed the leather nicely with one application.

I'm done now. I really like the result, needs time to blend though. It dried over night and thus is less dark then when I applied it. I didn't treat the inner parts.
Mustang Paste is awesome, by far my favorite leather care.
