          I have been layering this Big Buck over my IHJ-140-IG and it's perfect. Fades and patina are starting to take off with the deerskin. I wear it 12-16 hours a day. All the dang time I have it on. It seems to take on more character each day I wear it.

              One thing I was wondering about, it seems as the black fades away, the natural color is revealed on the outside. I don't see any brown like the photo examples of Haraki's. I am wondering if it first fades to the natural light yellow/tan and then from there darkens to brown with patina? @Giles is this correct?

                No idea Stevie. All I know is that it started off deep black, and it is what it is now. I did not see it regularly between a and b.

                Sorry

                      @Mister_Brue I think that must be it. Nine years is a long time for all the patina to change the shirt to that brown color. I'm just scratching the surface. Pleased with the results so far, though. And faster than expected.

                          There is a detailed answer to this question a while back in this topic that @goosehd shared a few times. I plan to hold off on that as long as I can for now. I have spot cleaned gently and not gently with different results so far.

                            @Oaktavia Thank you. I saw his response, too. I have had very good results with a professional cleaner on my pale rider - I think I'll use them when I need this one cleaned, too.

                                      @louisbosco thanks dude! I have been wearing it ton since the party. It fits snugly over my Type 1, its perfect for that sort of layering.

                                      One thing I was wondering about, it seems as the black fades away, the natural color is revealed on the outside. I don't see any brown like the photo examples of Haraki's. I am wondering if it first fades to the natural light yellow/tan and then from there darkens to brown with patina? @Giles is this correct?

                                      The leather becomes more and more close to the undyed, natural color in areas with more wear off. The black dye becomes brown with sunlight, water, sweat, wear time.

                                      It is nothing delicate and needs no special care or treatment, this is hard wearing workwear at its best.

                                      Example of a well worn Austrian Lederhose from the Salzkammergut area that once was black like your shirts.

                                          It is, but not mine which is still black as it doesn't get much wear time.

                                            1000062208.jpg 1000062209.jpg 1000062210.jpg 1000062211.jpg 1000062213.jpg 1000062216.jpg 1000062217.jpg 1000062220.jpg 1000062221.jpg 1000062222.jpg 1000062223.jpg 1000062224.jpg 1000062225.jpg 1000062226.jpg 1000062227.jpg 1000062228.jpg

                                            Here are some photos I just took of my BB. As you can see, there is evo happening all over the place. The black is fading, spots are everywhere, and the natural color of the hide is starting to show through. The right honeycombs are much more faded than the ones ones on the left. I think this is because the texture of the hide is different- the right side has a hairy textured while the left arm is much smoother and softer. Both sides are fading, just at different rates. The contrast is more dramatic in person, the camera dulls it down a bit. The right sleeve cuff is curling quite a bit and I had to curl it back around the other way to flatten it out for one of the photos. I just brushed it gently with a soft boot brush to simply remove pet fur, dust and dander. It's coming along quite nicely I think. Does this look normal as far as evo goes to you @chap?
