IHSB-BIGBUCK-BLK - Black Deerskin Western Shirt - The Big Buck
-
@Twistlock @long_john86 happy to share @tody it was indeed.
-
Has Iron Heart ever made one of these shirts with hand warmers like the cpo style shirts?
-
@Chap happy to help for sure, the more info out there about these amazing shirts, the better. I have been changing out towels as the shirt dries. It is definitely a process, but worth being careful to ensure the shirt is taken care of. I tried putting it on a hanger but the water weight in the shirt will create stress on the shoulders...I think there would be stretched out bumps. So, I'll keep it laid flat until it's dry. I imagine it will be wet for a couple days.

@jfox1980 They have not.
Well, actually we did make a few about 10-15 years ago. But the way we made them at the time, meant that the hand-warmers were constructed a little clumsily (internally), and I did not like them.....
-
I hope you solve the issue at hand soon, pun intended
I enjoy your shirts with the hand warmers living in Alaska they come in handy, pun intended again -
@Oaktavia hell yeah! thing looks well loved, just as it should be. Wearing it nicely.

Here is my Big Buck today, nearly dry and looking much cleaner. Overall, the spots and stains are gone (aside from where I tried removing a couple small stains on the right front, the black has been worn away there). It has actually turned out better than I expected. I wore it around for about ten minutes in an effort to reset the creases on the arms. The have mostly folded back where the wear marks are. The fades are much more prominent on the right arm. They left arm still has wear marks, but they are more subtle at this stage and are still emerging. The leather is still super smooth and soft. It might be a tad stiff but I imagine that it will soften up with wear. Simialr to air drying any shirt, they become bit stiff. Below are fit pics.
It appears I have not folded the collar properly upon wearing it in the photos. You get the idea. Overall, I am definitely happy with the results and look forward to wearing it some more.

![1000048256.jpg]comparison to the original picture it looks like the front length may have come up a little? does it feel that way to you @Oaktavia ? Maybe just the difference with the new vs worn with any forming set on the placket
-
@pechelman I hadn't noticed but maybe a tad? Perhaps it's from wearing it. Either way I would consider it negligible.
-
@Oaktavia
agree with @pechelman , it looks shorter .
and in a very positive way!!
Wish it would be shorter in general.
awesome looking shirt bro , love it !! -
@Daniel-San yes it does look shorter, I had to look closer. Seems to fit better now, I didn't notice how long it was before.
-
@Oaktavia thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the natural soon. Patiently been waiting for that to be my choice. Starting to see some of the brown spots in areas as well.
-
@Oaktavia
it’s absolutely spot on now , suits you perfectly ! stunning
I would grab one , but they are just to long for my taste. Looks like a nightie
-
@Oaktavia wowzers!! Your BB looks absolutely stunning. Much cleaner but with the lovely fades showing brilliantly.
I was wondering if you took pre/post measurement data. Sounds like maybe not. Either way. that thing fits you so damn well.
Thanks for the impeccable documentation of this process. I have a feeling many of us will be grateful to have this reference here before too long.

@jfk1117 Nice, it seems a lot of folks are waiting for the natty BB. Stoked for y'all. And oh yeah, I can see some brown on the right shoulder.
@Daniel-San I have a long torso so I didn't even realize they were so long.
