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

[Oaktavia]

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.

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

[Oaktavia]

@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 !!

[Oaktavia]

@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.

[Daniel San]

@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

[Mizmazzle]

@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.

[Oaktavia]

@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.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle Yes much cleaner I am super happy about that. It was looking pretty grimes and not really great to wear to work. Now I can keep wearing it as it looks neater, smarter.

I did not think take pre/post measurements. I also did not think it would shrink. The water was as cold as the tap goes too for reference. If anyone else plans to wash theirs in the future, you must bear this in mind.

@Oaktavia
for me it would be perfect if the shirt ends just between the belt and top of the back pockets.
Thought about getting it shortened by Simmons B. , but no idea if that’s possible.

@Oaktavia Top job as always mate it looks great love all your pictures and write up
Got my BB on this evening , for me my Big Bucks are my special pieces that I dig out when going out somewhere Nice , No doubt I’ll get the Natural when it’s available.

[Oaktavia]

@Jcaz6996 Glad you dig it man. I totally understand the notion of keeping the BBs for special occasions. Especially the olive, that colorway is exquisite. I can't help but wear mine like my denim and see how far I can take it. Mine is only 58 wear days for reference.

Drop a note to shop@ironheart.co.uk. I am sure we could make one a little shorter for you....

@Karol looks great, how is it so far?

[Karol]

@ZackB The sensation of this leather in contact with the skin is unlike anything I encountered. It definitely got me excited about future releases. The thing I miss dearly and would make this shirt next level are the hand warmer pockets.
