Iron Heart X Simmons Bilt Horsehide Western Shirt - The Pale Rider - Natural

[marco23d]

Just got home from a day wearing it out. Has anyone who has been complimented on this shirt actually heard “nice shirt”? Haha. I honestly only ever hear “nice jacket” and that speaks to how heavy duty this thing is

@marco23d the very first time I wore it out of the house, I got a “that is an awesome leather western shirt”. I was actually surprised, but he was just echoing my own internal dialogue. Hahaha.

Maybe Giuli thought he was somewhere in Texas, but it ended up being just Hamburg and our crappy construction site in front of the store... but it was cool for the photo shoot. A horse would have been good too.

Love the colour and contrast of Giuli PR is that just natural wear or has it been conditioned?

@goosehd is it dry yet?

[goosehd]

I am debating if I want to give it another coat of conditioner…it will be a few days.

[A Former User]

Nice! Love to read about these projects on this particular shirt! Stoked

@goosehd here's what I determined after a whole bunch of experiments. I think oil only is best for this particular leather. Anything with beeswax or vaseline type stuff is going to make the leather rubbery. This tanning formula is really odd to me. I've handled over 50 leather jackets and I still can't figure it out. I think it's a veg tanned CXL combo or is veg tanned with thick top coat.

I gave my shirt another hand wash but this time didn't do any conditioner, and so far it's the softest it's ever been. Maybe it's just a combo of all the wears and work so far, but I think it's more about the conditioner unnecessarily adding more to the top coat. think this leather needs to breath and get exposed to the elements to really come to life.

@Jcaz6996 The pictures in the post makes me think that this shirt needs to have its own theme song,and this is the song/music that came to mind.

I’m still on the road working, but my Pale Rider was delivered. I’m just wondering if anyone has paired theirs with white jeans? If so, how does it look?

@marco23d looks awesome white those white jeans! Amazing shirt

Talking about oils, I’ve just had a golden shower from my brake reservoir. Good way to tell you it’s leaking

[tody]

@louisbosco Ouch. DOT4 or DOT5?

[Nik]

This is an improvement, shirt looks beautiful @louisbosco

[louisbosco]

@tody I’ll be going DOT5 when I fix and flush the system. But guessing if the previous owner followed the manual, it would be DOT4

[louisbosco]

@Nik I can’t see past it. Everyone says it goes with, but it’s bugging me at the back of my mind

[tody]

@louisbosco So, glycol based. Google search on how to remove glycol stains from leather comes up pretty empty. I have no idea what would be involved in cleaning this...

[Nik]

I might be bugged by it too if it were me but I really think it looks fantastic. If you want the shirt without splatters you could brush down the whole thing in brake fluid.

[louisbosco]

@Nik @tody hahahahah I’m keen to just give it my regular oiling to see if it’ll even things out. If not I’ll just cop it, part and parcel of the evolution of the shirt

[Autorotate]

@louisbosco that truly looks amazing and I’m soooo digging the authenticity of the stains. What a story!
