    @Kirk:

    Hey @goosehd , I’m curious to hear about your fit experience with the big buck and pale rider. I’ve combed through both threads and you picked up an xl in both, right?

    I also own the big buck (size L) and I’m considering snagging the pale rider too. When I made my big buck purchase I requested a specific measurement so the good folks at ihuk gave me the dimensions of the entire shirt. Below are the measurements for my big buck size L vs the pale rider L. The L big buck sizing seems to correspond more closely with the XL pale rider. Seeing how some are on the fence about sizing, I was curious to get your thoughts. For reference, I’m a L in IH westerns and work shirts. My L big buck seems a tad too big in the shoulders and sleeve length. So I’m wondering if the L pale rider will work. I don’t intend to layer it. Just a t-shirt or thermal underneath.

    Appreciate your insights. You look good in both. From my eye, I can see how the pale rider might be more narrow in the shoulders and chest.

    Big buck
    Shoulder: 18.7"
    Length: 30.2"
    Chest: 22.6
    Waist: 20.7"
    Opening: 21.1"
    Sleeve: 26.9"

    Pale rider
    Shoulder: 17.6”
    Length: 30.1”
    Chest: 21.8”
    Waist: 20.8
    Opening: 21.3
    Sleeve: 26.3

    @Pipeboss713 i think you made the right choice sticking with your M.

    Thanks for sharing the pics and measurements!
    Really makes me feel great about getting the medium
    I don’t plan on laying either but I can comfortably fit a 11oz Iron Heart tee underneath
    It’s still molding and flexing to my body so I imagine little more stretch

      @Kirk You are correct in both of my shirts are XL and I love them both.  When thinking about sizing you have to consider that these are hand made and that each shirt may have minor differences in sizing.

      When I purchased the Big Buck from IH, I was lucky and placed my order with enough XL’s in stock that I requested a specific measurement in both chest and shoulder, and as usual they nailed it.  Out of the bag it is one of my best fitting shirts I own and for the best part, the material is very forgiving and stretches/forms at ease with wear.  My only small gripe is that the cuff’s were just a little tight to wear buttoned wearing a watch.  That only lasted for about a week’s worth of wear and now fits wonderfully.

      Re: the pale rider.  I was on the fence about buying it, hesitated about purchasing another leather item, and lost out on buying it from IH.  The moment I did know it was too late, I started working through the retailer list to see if anyone had one in stock.

      The shop out of Vancouver had one and I immediately purchased it.  However, since they only had one I couldn’t pick and choose regarding specific measurements.

      Out of the bag, it is tighter in the shoulders, just about perfect in the chest, and the cuffs are perfect.  The material is stiff and needs wear to get it to drape correctly.  As mentioned previously, I’m 10/11 wears and the results get better with every wear.

      Both of these shirts will tell stories with time and break in, shape, patina, to each individual.  It’s part of the fun and a great way to recall your own stories and adventures.

        Also for reference:  5’ 10”, approx. 183-186 pounds, 42-43” chest, and 34-35” waist.

        Hope this helps and if you have more questions or if anything doesn’t make sense, please ask.

            …and I went TTS paying close attention to the measurements that work best for me.  I’m XL in all of my UHF’s and went with XL here.

            Measurements are key…also drop a note to IH re: ordering and they do there best to help out!  🙂

                  What are the washing instructions on these? Never thought of owning a leather shirt, but this one looks too good to skip.

                    You can wash the deerskin shirts  ( Big Buck) , but not a horse hide shirt 😉

                        But you can clean them right? Just like hoe every other leather jacket gets cleaned?

                          Yeah but just wear a tshirt under it and don’t worry about it! Leather doesn’t really get stinky and also just looks better the more wear it gets, esp natural leather like this.

                            The measurements on this one, especially the length is a bit on the longer side. I'm thinking if I should wait for this or rather get the Big Buck in Olive that should be out in a few weeks time.
