@Mister_Brue i have to be reminded sometimes

[indigostiff]

@Oaktavia I have learned the hard way to send leather issues to the professionals - they’re expensive and time consuming though. Rago Bros in NJ is my go-to.

Any plans for a restock on this? If I’m a xxl in western shirts should I be looking at a xxl in the big buck?

shirt is looking great @Oaktavia nice to see the patina and wears on it after just a couple months!!

for sure. We just cleared all our leather from tannery to factory. Once I work out how many shirts will come from the leather at the factory, we will plan more with the tannery.

It's pretty much all I wear besides my 140IG. How is yours treating you?

[louisbosco]

@Oaktavia not too bad. still fairly new. only wear it while riding so it'll take awhile. with that said, some of the creases of the sleeves has set in so that's a good start

@Oaktavia Same here, my wabash western shirt had a weird line caused by a fold in the length of arms around the honeycombs area, didn't take a lot of attention to it, now it has faded like that :C

[Oaktavia]

@Raisinoux yeah, I just avoid wearing certain shirts under other shirts for that reason.

Wearing this buck a lot lately.

[Oaktavia]

I have been layering this Big Buck over my IHJ-140-IG and it's perfect. Fades and patina are starting to take off with the deerskin. I wear it 12-16 hours a day. All the dang time I have it on. It seems to take on more character each day I wear it.

[louisbosco]

@Oaktavia that looks fucking amazing!

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco thanks dude! I have been wearing it ton since the party. It fits snugly over my Type 1, its perfect for that sort of layering.

One thing I was wondering about, it seems as the black fades away, the natural color is revealed on the outside. I don't see any brown like the photo examples of Haraki's. I am wondering if it first fades to the natural light yellow/tan and then from there darkens to brown with patina? @Giles is this correct?

No idea Stevie. All I know is that it started off deep black, and it is what it is now. I did not see it regularly between a and b.

Sorry

[Oaktavia]

All good, thanks for the honest reply G. I will just wait and find out.

@Mister_Brue I think that must be it. Nine years is a long time for all the patina to change the shirt to that brown color. I'm just scratching the surface. Pleased with the results so far, though. And faster than expected.
