IHSB-BIGBUCK-OLV - Deerskin Western Shirt The Big Buck - Olive
-
@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.
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. -
so I was not wrong with my thoughts

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

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…
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

It is not a seasonal release.

Ah thanks @Giles ive missed this thread somehow. I thought all the new releases came through the future/ planned products. Didn’t realize there was a “projects we’re working on thread.”
Normally I get emails for all the new releases. This one didn’t come through for some reason.
-
@Mizmazzle if you’re looking to pick one of these up, I’m sure there are some stockists who would have your size still available if it’s sold out on the IH website.

Thanks @Dstauffer Sadly, this one is not in the budget. But damn if it isn’t something I’d like to have one day. I’ll be keeping a watchful eye on this new found space for upcoming releases!
