      I see there is a large left. Is that because @graham refuses to take it off?

        It’s because I thought I could squeeze into a large, but in reality need an XL.  Graham did save my butt though, and I am extremely grateful!!

          @Giles do you think you'd make a "natural" version?

              We would love to, but Brexit has seriously fucked up our ability to import deerskin from Germany.  The last order was shipped to us, then zee German Customs officials decided that it was an illegal export and returned it to sender.  I am working on a creative way of getting it here, if that works then we may be able to make these again, if not, we have $4,000 worth of deerskin stuck in Germany that we have paid for, that I have no idea what to do with…..

              Brexit, I fucking hate you.

                  You're going to have to start a deerskin smuggling operation. The next version of the shirt will need to be called "The Bootleg Buck".

                    I can drive over and get it, but not until Covid travel restrictions are eased.

                        Yeah, I ain't swallowing 61 meters of deerskin.

                        I just checked the invoice, it is actually USD7,000 worth of hide, that is stuck…...🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

                              Also, you’ve nailed the fit. Looks incredible. How does it feel to wear?

                                  Thank you! Honestly, it looks like I will have to return it. It’s easily the most luxurious shirt I’ve ever worn, but I feel like for the price point, I need more versatility. I plan on doing a trip around the world in a few weeks and I couldn’t justify having a piece that is definitely winter only. Also, I planned on having some work done at my leather tailor because I knew going into it that it would be a bit big on me, and I thought how much she’d charge me to get this where I want to be. I pulled the trigger on this because I knew it would sell out fast, and I don’t regret that, but I was thinking it would be a lot like my western UHF but it definitely runs bigger.

                                  For the right people, this could be a dream come true. The leather is so supple, you feel like a boss wearing it. If it was mine to own, I’d probably regularly wear it on my motorcycle out to a nice dinner. It will definitely last the owners lifetime, and the history of Kolesch and Simmons Bilt give it a backstory rarely found in clothing.

                                    Can’t see how you’d get into anything smaller than that! Can you button the bottom button? But, I definitely get the importance of loving your fit to wearing something.

                                      I can, but my problems are mostly with length. I’ve got about 2 inches that need to come off the sleeve and a few more off the bottom. The lower arms are perfect, but the upper is a bit looser. Honestly it’s not meant for a beefier person, but someone a little taller definitely

                                        Oof… that is a blow. To my eyes the length looks good but fit is a personal thing and I understand the issue.

                                          Idk, I think the shirt fits you really great @cwcaswell

                                          I mean the sleeves could be an inch shorter, but all IH has the motorcycle rider in mind so the sleeves are longer on purpose.

                                          I'm very jelly.
