Iron Heart X Simmons Bilt Horsehide Western Shirt - The Pale Rider - Natural
-
@Tobi hey man! My PR actually has new home. I was never able to get comfortable with the tight shoulders and chest. That, and I ordered a similar leather western from a competing brand and always was reaching for that one.
The placket waviness was fixed by weighing down the bottom of the placket and letting it hang. I used a heavy crescent wrench with a washcloth to protect the leather and just let it hang on a hangar. To avoid shoulder impressions (??) I wrapped the wooden hangar with a towel. Can’t remember, but I might have spritzed the placket to coax the straightening…

Thanks, might try the weighing down thing myself. And indeed, shoulders and chest are a bit tight also for me. Will keep at it and occasionally report back for the pale riders

Winter setup, complete

@indigostiff watch out for indigo stains. The Pale Rider is a magnet for stains .... I got serious black stains from just 2h wearing it with a black leather vest...

@Tobi thank you. But won’t they be glorious? Or no… lol.

@Tobi well, a picture speaks a thousand words. Thank you for the heads up lol.

@Tobi I took off my jacket lol.

@indigostiff Ondura Black Sheep vest.. worn at home for 2 hours
Mostly under the arms though, and I will give it one more treatment with obenauf leather oil and stop caring.. -
gotta ask
the majority of the pictures i see have sort of a turtle neck look here with the stiff leather causing the collar to sit higher than maybe where it should on a fabric shirt. For those that have had one start this way, did it ever relax? I don't recall the one I tried on in Hamburg doing this, but only had it on for a brief moment. -
@pechelman gets slowly better with wear. What annoyed me most, but better now was a sort of hump on the back of the collar.
I guess wearing it under a jacket and with a backpack helps....
