IHSB-BIGBUCK-BLK - Black Deerskin Western Shirt - The Big Buck

@louisbosco boom!!!

Does anyone else notice extra material in the back plackett( I think that the right name) that creates an extra roll behind the neck/shoulder's on both sides?. If so does it settle in with some wear? I have had this shirt about a year and haven’t worn it much, but when I do I seem to notice it. This is my normal shirt size didn’t size up or anything. Rest of the shirt is great

@kkibbey23 what are you hanging it on or storing it? From outsider it looks like hanger marks

[goosehd]

100% hanger marks and may settle with wear. I do not hang my big Buck for that very reason.

[kkibbey23]

Thanks for the feedback! Didn’t even think of that. I will have to fold it instead of hanging. I have it on a heavier wood hanger. I better take my olive one off too, although I don’t notice it on that one when I wear it.

Ugh I hope it settles in

@goosehd you've mentioned your big buck was your most worn shirt last year IIRC. When you have a moment, could you post photos of the fade/patina level? I am curious what these look like after frequent wear over a season or so.

@Oaktavia In due time…Still working on it and waiting for the right time to do so. For inspiration I always look at Haraki’s:

And this is Haraki's after a few years of use…

@goosehd that thing is such a beautiful work of art. Those images totally sold me on this shirt.

Looking forward to seeing yours when the time is right.

[louisbosco]

@goosehd remember you saying you washed yours. would love to see the fit before and after you washed it

Out of the bag:

After some time and wash (not recent):

@goosehd is the second photo after your wash?

[goosehd]

@Oaktavia Yes it is and sorry for not indicating so. I’ll update my post.

@goosehd Wow the Big Buck really moulds to your body after a while!

[Luijim78]

@goosehd amazing!!! Washing it even improved . Congratulations

[louisbosco]

@goosehd wow the sleeves looks very well molded to you body after the wash!! Love the “arm honeycombs”

Took it out first day for me, sleeves are definitely longer than the pale rider. Overall too.

[goosehd]

@louisbosco The arm creases set long before I ever washed it (and I used that term very loosely) as it was more of a thorough wetting/soak.

Anybody looking to do it to their shirt needs to be extremely careful as I can imagine it could be destroyed easily. By this I mean that the shirt can be stretched out of shape and you will not be able to get it back to previous. It is exactly like using a chamois to dry a car. Perfectly square when you pull it out of the bag and use it the first time, to never see that shape again.

I put mine on all day yesterday and today will too. I forget how nice this shirt it. Totally unlike anything else I’ve got.

[Oaktavia]

I've been wearing this shirt a lot lately. Took some evening photos today to show what it looks like. Definitely one of my favorite IH pieces, by a long shot.

@Oaktavia damn that looks insanely nice, appreciate the extra creative flourishes in your photos too

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 thanks man, I was inspired by @Chap with his antler on his BB earlier in the thread. I thought I have a lot of antlers around the house...
