IHSB-BB-NAT - Natural Horsehide Jacket - The Bareback

[Mizmazzle]

Here’s a question where I think the answer is no…but I’m looking at it hang in the sun right now and wondering if too much sun is a bad thing. It’s tanning up quite nicely already.

Question: will leaving it to tan for a couple hours a day while it’s been around 98 degrees result in anytype of shrinkage? Been doing this everyday for the last week or so. Should I be careful with how much I leave it to hang in the sun?

@Mizmazzle it's skin it will tan : act accordingly

@Mizmazzle I left mine out for weeks on a roofed balcony, to catch sun but no rain, and it tannend nicely.
Didn't realise any shrinkage.

Thanks @endo @steelworker
Figured best to get some experienced advice. Dying to wear these thing. Been so hot this last month of summer the best I can do is watch it hang in the back yard!

Looking great! And maybe good call on conditioning, can't tell if those sleeves were starting to dry out in the cold/dry/high of Colorado.

Did you do anything before the paste @Mizmazzle ? I recall you asking about saddle soap.

[weftyarn]

@Mizmazzle Haha judging from the evo you put on it already it won’t count as cheating Love the result!

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman i didn’t. Just went straight in on it. But you’re right. There were def some spots that had a bit of dryness to them. Colorado is sooo dry. My cracking fingers can attest to this!!

[Mizmazzle]

@weftyarn haha. I wore it nonstop for the first four months I had it. I would just sit in my backyard while
It was 95f and wear it with no shirt under our covered patio. I might have some mental issues.

[Memphisakers]

I dig it @Mizmazzle! That’s almost exactly how mine looks

[Mizmazzle]

@Memphisakers yea bro!!

[Mizmazzle]

Sometimes capturing the true color and richness of this jacket can be tricky. Feel like I finally got a shot that is accurate. Think the mustang paste has settled in after a couple days too.

Will these see a restock?

@Mizmazzle Wow that's looking incredible! Im currently in the process of taking through final measurements with Debs. I gotta say she's awesome!

[Mizmazzle]

@jiminstitches hey dude! That’s rad! Yeah Deb is as sweet as they come. She always had the kindest things to say. Which design/ leather are you going with?
