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

[T4920]

@Alex that's a beauty, do I remember correctly that the Pale Rider in its current form is being discontinued due to inconsistencies in the quality of the leather?

[Alex]

yep

[EdH]

looks nice to me. And paler just means more room for higher contrasting patina, doesn't it? And I'd have thought that softer was better for shirts.

But then I am just one of those longing-lurkers on this thread and don't own the PR so what do I know...

[Alex]

@EdH Darkening it won't make it less soft, but (I think) will make it more saleable

If anyone wants this XL, by the way, DM me.

[louisbosco]

make it a CPO

[Alex]

@louisbosco asked and answered, several times mate

[pechelman]

just sayin'

[T4920]

@pechelman whaaaaaaat!? has this been modified or was it a sample that never went into full production...

[pechelman]

checkout the IHAS-01 and -02 threads for the glory @T4920

[marco23d]

shoot i can't do an XL but that sample is beautiful. Looks very soft stares at my pale rider

[louisbosco]

@Alex ahaha shit I must’ve missed the reply or forgot

[Giles]

The hand-warmer pockets on the IHAS-01 CPO were super unsatisfactory. On the IHAS-02, less so, but that had a lining.....

Literally tooth and nail trying to break this pale rider in. The 136 whipcord will be its overshirt for the time being, seeing it won’t crock on to the pale rider.

The days are long, it seems, but I’ll keep at it!

[indigostiff]

Around 25-30 wears. It does get softer, thankfully

[Mizmazzle]

@indigostiff that thing is rad! Looks like you’re seeing some taming…even if just a little.

one week of cycling to work combined with two full days of wear, starting to relax nicely

Hi,
I just discovered this thread and the amazing pics got me interested. As so many here before me, I am unsure what size to get. Usually, I am between small and medium in Iron Heart UHF and denim shirts. Small fits perfectly without T-shirt and medium works well with T-shirts under denim and UHF shirts. I am 5'8 and weigh 145 lbs with a 38-39 inch chest.
Any suggestions as most of you have gone through the same process?
Also, the sleeve length seems rather long. Do the sleeves shorten over time by an inch or so due to the creases?

I really appreciate any advice!

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot damn this looks incredible!! I wanna join the Pale Rider Club!!

@BorisB For sizing help, the best resource is to email the guys at the shop: shop@ironheart.co.uk and ask for help. They will steer you in the right direction everytime.

The arms do shorten because of the creases set in the leather with time and wear.
