IHSB-EXT-NAT - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Natural Horsehide Type III Jacket

[jstark]

Update. Actually took these yesterday.
Been debating whether or not to artificially inseminate with Vitamin D and give it a coat of Pecard. It’s 0 degrees here and not much sun.  So far, holding strong.

@jstark I've been meaning to lay mine out in the sun too but it's been pretty cloudy here. The article linked a few posts ago said to lay it out in the sun whenever you're not wearing it. But I can't seem to take mine off.

The patina on the inside of yours looks awesome.

@Giles:

It will be restocked

But in the same leather as the Pale Rider (skived to me a little thinner)

Here are some photos from today at work. The patina is a grey/green/blue color that appears darker in person compared to the photos. This jacket evos so quickly it really quite literally looks different after each day of wear. On days that I do wear it, it's on me from early morning to bedtime. A good 9-11 hours a day typically.

I'm noticing some streaking that almost looks like small rivers on the outer parts of the forearms. Maybe that is the horse hide grain? The honeycombs are neat too, which are starting to come in as dark marks compared to denim which has lighter patterns where the indigo falls. I am likely going to stay away from any treatment for some time, if at all. I like how some areas are light and might lead down to road to some sharp contrast. This is all new to me so any insight about what to expect as time continues would be run to read about.

…@oaktavia that wallet leash is a monster! Go's really well with the jacket.

[Oaktavia]

I'm still getting used to it

This whole ensemble is superb @Oaktavia  & just realized this jacket is a new pick up. Already looks well worn & perfectly molded to your body! 

[Oaktavia]

@RoxRocks86 the leather is so soft yet sturdy a thing of beauty

@Oaktavia
Looking superb
The wallet chain looks killer. I like the one with the knuckles, but haven’t find the wallet for it yet..
Jeans are 25oz ib ?

Man, everything about that outfit looks so rad.

Rocking the shit out of it @Oaktavia

Really pops against all the black and dark indigo. Great evo already.

[Oaktavia]

@Daniel San the one I'm wearing comes with the knuckles, I just removed them for now. It's sitting jn my coin pocket of my slubs. The W 14.

@jerkules thanks it's all IH of course

@Weft 4 Dead it's been hard finding time for my 19oz Lefty with how fast the horsehide evolves I don't want to put it down.

When'll this be rerun? I wanna cop the sample in The Marketplace but can't this week and know someone else will get it first.

[Alex]

It’s in production now. Release will be in the next few weeks.

[Daniel San]

Looking great and getting some sun.

Yeah man. Should definitely be leaving that thing out in the back yard on a hanger this summer when it's hot. Give it a nice George Hamilton.
