IHSB-EXT-NAT - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Natural Horsehide Type III Jacket

[Oaktavia]

@Mister_Brue the vat was a weekend-long affiar. But I'll spend the afternoon taking photos and rubbing my...jacket .

@Oaktavia oh 100% dude. You know when it’s time it’s time. I think that the orangish hue it takes on after treating it is something that I wish had more of a caramel brownish tint. I think I mostly wonder if I’d waited longer and let it untreated if it would have gone more that way. Or it may just be the way this leather is that it will take on that peach / orange tone.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle there are parts of my jacket that are quite dark. I am curious how those areas will turn out when I treat it. We will soon find out the answer to your query. Il take many before and after shots.

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia love it dude!! Stoked to see the end result. It’s going to of course be incredible.

[Oaktavia]

I finally treated my jacket today using Mustang Paste. Phew! That took longer than I expected. All of the creases and stitching really take time to work the paste into. I used the entire jar and was worried it wouldn't be enough. It seemed to be the perfect amount when I was all through. The leather looks better in areas that appeared heavy with patina that gave off almost a greenish hue. This is now muted with the treatment. Looks more distinguished than before.

@Oaktavia looks a beauty mate …

I really regret not getting one of these when I had the chance..

[Oaktavia]

@Jcaz6996 thanks buddy I am happy with how it turned out

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia came out great dude!
I remember having to work out all that paste from the thread seems. Bit of a project. But worth it in the end.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle yeah dude I didn't even realize how many seams there were until yesterday. Brought me closer to the jacket.

Your favorite question, @ihuk crew… any news regarding a restock?

[chadstone30]

Yes, I also am in desperate need of this item, please.

No plans for this specific bare back due to leather availability but the forthcoming tail gunner is very similar:

Hello IHUK Team. Hoping that since Tail Gunner and Big Buck have made their reappearances, maybe this one will also be on the list for a reissue?

[Alex]

@chadstone30 it will be, but we don't have ETDs from Simmons Bilt at the moment

[chadstone30]

Outstanding, thanks for the good news!

Iron heart Germany has updated this jacket to “coming soon”.

This is a grail for many, hopefully not too soon so the funds manage to get in check before release haha🥰

@ihukcrew Is it so!?
