        For those that find the initial color a bit pale, it tan very well. Result after 4 days of wear

            Such a beauty, have quite a lot of leather jackets, but that one is one of my favorite now, quite impressive.

              These photos are so great. It was difficult for me to pass the immediate delivery of this jacket. Today I approved the order for my custom Simmons Bilt. I'll have it in 8 weeks or so.. you know.. summertime lol. Brown smooth mustang with olive contrast stitching. +2" sleeves and body.

                Thanks man, let's see what they'll do for you.
                To be honest I was skeptical about Simmons Bilt leather jackets, never thought of buying, but that one is something, love the color, leather. So ordered another, brown one, IHSB-SAV-BRN in XL, hope for the same fit. Will definitely grab the Pale Rider soon.

                  I did the same, i was so stunned by the quality of construction and the overall feel of it that i snagged an other one! The black pacific deerskin from the IH SB colab.
                  It's a very different feel, but i love it too, will post some pic in the respective thread this weekend.
                  My two SB jackets are made by Moira, and the stitching is impeccable, i can't find anything wonky.

                    Anyone planning on using mustang paste on their jacket? It’s darkening up nicely on its own - will be curious how it looks after a couple months.

                      Wow, great looking jacket guys. And it will just get better and better I suspect.

                        Quick update on the jacket - patina develops fast on this one.

                          @concretor oh wow! That’s cool to see. Looks like the new leather also takes on a bit of that familiar peach colored tone like the OG leather.

                            Is it just me, or did this one smell absolutely terrible coming out of the bag?

                                Mine smelled/smells like leather. I like it. That said, my IHJ-64-BLK barely has a scent (chrome tanning vs ?)

                                  Hello everyone!I've recently become the proud owner of this beauty. I'd like to ask the creators how this jacket is supposed to handle rain? I intend to wear it for many years and I'm not overly cautious with it, but this is my first high-end jacket and I don't want to ruin it by mishandling it. I'm not talking about tropical downpours, but rather an average rain shower. I've only been wearing it for two weeks and have already been caught in the rain three times, each time for about half an hour, after which the jacket dried on me. I haven't noticed any negative changes (aside from water marks that seem to start forming a patina), yet everything I read online insists that rain ruins leather jackets. I'm trying to figure out how true this statement is for myself.
                                  P.S. I've been wearing leather shoes for many years, including veg-tan leather, and by drawing analogies, I also can't understand what it is about rain that would ruin a jacket but not shoes (with proper care, of course).

                                  And just to keep the discussion going, here are a couple of unflattering photos from a terrible angle, taken a week apart))

                                    This jacket is made for what you're looking to accomplish. Rain will be part of your patina project. Just make overly sure it dries fully. This is easy for me in Ohio where humidity is not a big issue. I still hang my jackets on the door after getting them really wet. Like my sweater in this picture. Sorry the best I could find quickly

                                      Wearing it a lot in the rain will accelerate how quickly it might need to be conditioned, but you don’t need to condition a jacket very much anyway, multiple years rather than months.

                                        I’ve worn mine in the rain several times with no issues. Conditioned it once. We’re talking light rain or intermittent rain - not a downpour. The first few stains and scuffs bothered me - but they’ve all faded.

                                            Thank you very much for your responses! You've helped me confirm that all the stories about leather jackets getting ruined by rain are likely either about jackets of terrible quality or a complete lack of leather care skills.
                                            @concretor - that's an amazing color! I think it's probably a nice tan, but I'll still ask - what did you use to condition it? Mustang Paste or something less specialized?
