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

@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.

Really, don't think you have mentioned that before.....

I might have mentioned it here and there

Out of curiosity: How thick is the hide? It's not mentioned in the product description/details.

@Graham Chonky! (the hide of course, not you)
-
The thickness does vary a bit. So this bullet is super important. If you cant deal with the imperfections, you will send it back:
- There is scarring to the hides, we try to avoid as much as we can, but there may be small imperfections in the hide - if you can't embrace the perfection-is-in-the-imperfections, then this shirt is not for you

@natefreezy I am one of those who snapped up a few years ago after the first production run. I have and have had many other IH shirts and a few jackets. What I can say is that the BigBuck cannot be compared to any other shirt or material from IH, as deerskin has completely different properties than cotton, for example (softness, coziness, weight...). It falls completely differently and wraps around the body in a very unique way. In my opinion, the fit is therefore much more important than with other shirts/fabrics, especially if you are not wearing it as an outer layer. Since I have lost a lot of weight due to a change in diet, my BigBuck has now become too big for me and I have decided to sell it. My other shirts are now much roomier to wear, too, but they are still very comfortable to wear because they are not as heavy as deerskin and therefore do not "sag" as much in certain parts of the body.

Any plans in works for XXXL restock? Take my money

@Oaktavia yo man, been giving this one the business of late? Been thinking of the black buck and curious how yours is coming along?

@flannel-slut I wore some small holes near the cuff of one of the sleeves and sent it in for a patch job. I think it was from wearing it over my 140IG and causing stress in that area. I was worried the hole would tear more if I kept wearing it. I have it back now but have been focusing primarily on my 22oz OD T3. Lately though, I have been wearing my BB and will update with photos when I get to 75 wears. I'm at 60 currently. It's definitely lightening up all over from black to tan.
P.s. I asked SB to do a visible patch job and they did a nice, subtle patch both inside and outside of the sleeve with new pieces of buckskin. I love how it turned out. I can post photos in a few.
Here is the patch:
And from the inside:
SB offered to replace the entire sleeve, but I didn't want to lose all of the fades and patina I had already worked into it. Plus, I just love nice, solid patch job. It's a souvenir from it's solo travels to Scotland.
