IHSB-BIGBUCK-BLK - Black Deerskin Western Shirt - The Big Buck

[Giles]

IHSB-BIGBUCK-BLK - Black Deerskin Western Shirt

The “Big Buck” is a unique collaboration with Simmons Bilt in Scotland, based on our traditional Western shirt silhouette and handmade from European deerskin. The leather used comes from deer living in the hills and mountains of Germany and Austria. As these are wild animals, many hides display natural scars — a byproduct of antlered males fighting during the rutting season.

The tanning method is an old and traditional process known as Sämischgerbung, a chemical-free technique that, while time-consuming, produces an incredibly soft yet hard-wearing leather. We source this leather from Kolesch Tannery (https://www.gerberei-kolesch.de/) — the oldest working tannery in Germany — where it is both tanned and hand-dyed.

This tanning process results in a beige-coloured leather, visible on the inside of the shirt. To achieve the final colour, a natural dye is applied by hand. Because the dye is brushed onto the surface rather than dip-dyed, subtle variations in the finish can occur, depending on how each hide absorbs the pigment. From the initial tanning process to the finished leather, production takes a full year.

This is not just leather; it is cultural heritage which, much like traditional Japanese indigo dyeing, carries a distinctive individuality in every dyed hide. While we carefully match hides as closely as possible, there will always be slight variations in appearance. Combined with the unique scars found on each hide, this ensures that no two Big Buck shirts are ever exactly the same.

Notes:

1. When the face of the hide is painted, some of the paint transfers to the rear, so there will be paint streaks on the inside of the shirt
2. There is scarring to the hides, we try to avoid as much as we can, but there may be small imperfections in the hide
   If you can't embrace the perfection-is-in-the-imperfections, then this shirt is not for you.

And this is Haraki's after a few years of use…

This is an insanely beautiful shirt!! 

[Giles]

Here are the measurement of the sample which is an L, and fits me well…

Shoulders 18.25
Length 30.25
P2P 22
Opening 21.5
Arm 27.5

The product will not go live on the website until we have one of each size here to measure.  I'm guessing that will be the end of June/beginning of July.

If you would like to make sure you are at the front of the queue, we can take your measurements the Simmons Bilt way, take a USD700 deposit and make sure that yours is one of the first out of the door.

Send an email to shop@ironheart.co.uk to start the process.

@Giles , is there any chance this will be made minus western yoke ?

[Giles]

Possibly as a special.  So straight yoke at the rear, zero yoke at the front?

Correct. Not a full on workshirt, though. Keeping the snaps and flap pockets would be preferable. Although, straight flaps would likely better fit the design.

[Giles]

No front yoke works on the IHSH-13…..

And if I'm going to tweak stuff, I'd like to minimize the changes to reduce likelihood of a screw-up....

[scooter]

I have an IHSH-184. So, I have first hand knowledge of that design. I certainly understand the aversion to tweaking stuff. My initial inquiry was not necessarily meant to question only the possibility of changes, but more to find whether a stand alone non-western option was being considered.

[Giles]

Not until you mentioned it

Glad to get that ball rolling. Even if it winds up being only a consideration.

I will say this, the thought of the removal of the front yoke does increase the odds I may order one. Although, that may not mean much, when there was likely no chance, before. But, if the version I described earlier, or something like it, were to be brought to fruition, the chance becomes a given.

Goddammit…. H was wearing this at the F&C in 2018. It was utterly stunning. Buying one now would require a lottery win or a lot of financial discipline

And keep on living to wear it would require that HotIngrid never finds out the price. @neph93

Truely a stunning piece.

Mate, it could cost 10% of the actual price and she would still castrate me based on the fact that it is a deeeskin leather shirt. I’m still sat here working out what I could sell to raise the cash [emoji38]

@ Giles
How do the hide look like without the black dying ? Like the brown one one the pictures ?
If the brown is the original color from the hide , I would prefer it !! Maybe it’s possible to get it undyed
so it looks like the on from Haraki right from the start.

[Giles]

The natural colour is the colour of the inside of the shirt….

Ah ok , i understand. The beautiful brown is the result of wearing the shirt over years.
What kind of cloth is it in the inside ? An will it be Black or red like in Harakis ?
