@goosehd:

I can see @Kasi wearing this with a full set of Good Art buttons.  It would be the "one"…

@goosehd

Oh yes I can, but then I don’t have the itch like you do..

You need to look in the mirror and says to yourself yes I can..

Buy it, Mo has other plans on his mind to buy.

Does the olive fade to the same shade of brown as the black version?

[goosehd]

@Dmitriy My assumption is yes it is the same shade of brown.  Everything appears to be similar (animal and tannery) except for the final dye and I believe they should fade to the same base colour with time and wear.

@Alex @Giles Any chance you know the answer to this?

If I buy this shirt, am I guaranteed entry to a tent at Oktoberfest next year where I can sing “Ein Prosit” and “Lili Marleen?”  I need four tickets and lederhosen.

I don‘t think so .
The "base hide" is the same after tanning , as it says a beige colored leather like you see on the inside.Than they got dyed , with black and olive dying.
So with wear ,the black fades to brown ( cause of the beige leather ) and the olive will just get brighter.
In the end when all the dye is gone they will be beige again. Don‘t think that someone can wear it that hard , but maybe in certain areas of the shirt ( elbows for example) after many years of wear it seem possible.

[Giles]

The base leather is the same colour, so it will "fade" to that…..

[Daniel San]

so I was not wrong with my thoughts 

[Giles]

If you read the intro paragraph on the web page written by @Chap , you will see that he explains that the hides are all tanned to the same base cbeige olour, and then the final colour is painted onto the surface of the hide.

Really, only one thing can happen…

It'll get re-run and hopefully in larger sizes, but that depends on whether the local hunters shoot some large deer…..

Absolutely stunning piece this shirt, perhaps my favorite IH release.

Too bad my fat gut won't fit in the available sizing. Perhaps I shall invite some of the deer to partake in my diet so we can see some XXXXL's and XXXXXL's in the future

Fading is a bit like with denim. Creases, pressure, abrasion will lead to areas where the color will be worn of faster. You can't accelerate it, it can be only achieved with lots of weartime. Water will of course reduce the amount of dye on the surface but all-over.

Lederhosen once black, about 40 years

[Chap]

The black ones will definitely fade with more contrast then the olives.

[goosehd]

The lederhosen are absolutely beautiful and I hope my shirt (big buck) one day fades to look half as good as that.  I would be happy if my shirt fades to half as good as Haraki’s …

[goosehd]

…and to the person who just bought the last XL, thank you!!!  I woke up this morning and saw it still setting in stock and was seriously contemplating it…you may have saved me from a divorce
