      @indigostiff I think you have the answer then…it’s the nature of the animal. You can keep waiting on a hide that is less scared, but the beauty of Wabi Sabi is the acceptance of the perfection is in the imperfection.

        @goosehd Thank you. My issue is the small current holes becoming future larger holes. That's an issue. My black one has none of these, so perhaps I'll wait -- or see if Rain can darn the holes - but that may become $$$.

          @indigostiff To be honest, I don’t think that you’ll be happy if you purchase that shirt. If you already have these kind of questions, ultimatley you will be biased in your attitude towards the shirt which will affect your overall happiness in the long run.

          I would suggest waiting…

          Just my honest $.02

              …and to add to the other side of the equation: I think it’s beautiful as is and shows how the animal lived. In this world, people will go out of their way to hide the marks of imperfection versus enjoying them for what they are. Leather is a natural thing as is our skin. We use Botox, fillers, plastic surgery, dyes, and god knows what else to try and hide what happens to us so that we stay young and beautiful forever.

              I for one, accept that I’m not the fastest, smartest, or most handsome one out there and am happy with what/who I am (as is) with all of my imperfections.

                @goosehd I agree. I am all for battle scars - just not holes.

                  Hi @goosehd just curious if you found the big buck to shrink at all based on your careful washing approach that you outlined? Sorry if you’ve already said and I missed it.

                  6'4". Wingspan of Phelps.

                    @long_john86 I did not, but please be very careful in doing so. There is a lot of potential to ruin the shirt by stretching it out of shape.

                      @goosehd Cheers sir! That is good to know and will help me with decision-making on the sizing.

                      Just currently trying to get the sizing right with the crew - unfortunately I have to return/exchange on the one that came. So the journey is not complete. But I had the opportunity to experience this IRL today. 🤯

                      It’s true what everyone has said - the combination of feel, weight, texture, scent, of this beautiful material is jaw-dropping…. my thoughts began to run wild seeing each mark - how did it happen? A fight? Running through the woods? The fact this comes layered with memory and meaning straight ‘out of the box’ is a big deal for me and I am 100% sold… if I can nail this damn sizing!
                      Peace ✌️

                              Question. I’m heading to Italy and there is some precipitation in the forecast. Can the Big Buck do ok with some rain?

                                  @Molle the next time we are both in Gosport is Wednesday, but XL does not fit me, so we can show you a pic of Adam in the XL and me in an XXL if that helps?

                                      @Molle not me. Perhaps youve been speaking to @Bailey though. We basically only hire people called Adam and Alex, keeps things pretty simple for us 😂

                                            @goosehd this looks like it’s more than a scar. I believe it’s an actual hole in the leather. I know that some of the these were sent back last year because of holes.
