No worries, figured I’d ask

[sabergirl]

What about no yokes or single yoke? Think a cleaner look would be great for these.

we're not going to be making changes to the pattern, in the short term. The leather is limited and the existing pattern still has demand so we'll fill it for now

Makes sense. Thanks, @Alex

Oh, yes......

Definitely pleased with the evo so far.

@kkibbey23 looking great though it's nice to see other people's bucks

[Oaktavia]

I had small food stains on the bottom of my big buck. Used a coarse boar bristle brush relatively briefly with a bit of water. Now i have a couple light spots. Not thrilled...posting for a bit of reassurance if I could ask y'all for some.

Edit: Amanda my wife is telling me I didn't ruin it, now it has more character, it's fading because I'm wearing it, etc. I just hope she's right and not just being nice (or trying to keep me calm lol) as usual.

@Oaktavia can you take a pic that captures the entire front of the shirt? I can see what you’re talking about since you pointed it out (and added close ups), but it’s hard to tell how noticeable it is when taking in the big (buck) picture….

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

No way is that “ruined”, homie!

@Oaktavia 100% agree with @Mister_Brue

Just looks like a killer shirt to me

It's not ideal now, but as you wear it more you'll find it blending in. Dont worry about it one bit, definitely not ruined. To me I go back to thinking about the brake fluid stains on louisbosco's pale Rider. This is much less drastic and that came out looking fine too imo.

Just don't wear it while painting

Had the exact same thought

[Oaktavia]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot @Mister_Brue thanks gents. I just pulled out my Extractor jacket (same leather as the Pale Rider) and wow it has so much character. It has ever bothered me either. I think what sets the black Big Buck apart is how dramatic the darkness of the dye is on the leather. Check out these photos I just took of my Extractor:

Seeing all of these spots makes my mind at ease and helps me see the larger picture of leather evolution.

[sabergirl]

I think they’re barely noticeable! It’ll blend into the rest of the aging of the shirt in no time.

Hahaha no no way!

@sabergirl thanks, the more I look at it the more I am feeling the same now. Thanks for the reassurance.

@Oaktavia Please find a suede brush for any future cleaning as it will be much gentler on your shirt. I would not recommend using anything coarse on any type of suede.

I don’t think it’s ruined and not implying so. There are better tools for the job though.

In a pinch, I've had decent luck using the back side of the placket to give a small spot a brush, especially for things like a water stain.
