@denim-dawg cheers, mate! There’s a lot of horse in that pic

@denim-dawg I haven't owned a single white T-shirt in many years, but I understand your point. It's a classic that's become an indispensable part of your wardrobe... once you have it and it fits. Generally, I have to say, there's nothing better than focusing on a specific piece for an extended period of time. The Pale Rider is, of course, one of the most rewarding pieces for such a project.
Thanks for your support. I hope you are well

I got nothing to say of note here. I basically just checked the discussion to make sure my notifications didn’t miss anything

Will there be a 2025 version? Sorry if this is asked and answered. I couldn’t find anything in search.

[jdwaid]

@tbird search “The Big Buck” or find it at “future releases” on the main page

@tbird yes, there is a production run in the works now using natural blattwerk leather

[tbird]

Thanks for the responses! Blattwerk leather should be amazing. I hope I can snag one.

For the final round of RRY3, I took a few highlight photos for the first time...

I'll post the flatlays in a few days. The shirt doesn't look quite as spectacular there. I'm also surprised at what you can achieve with the photography guideline that was shared during the challenge.

@matt_rost looking awesome man.

[matt_rost]

The final flats for RRY3. My records show 222 days of wear within a year. A few weeks ago, I decided to treat the shirt with Red Wing Leather Cream, which, as expected, didn't darken it. However, the sun over the past few weeks has tanned it a bit...

Looks like Winona ain’t so pale no more

SENSATIONAL

@matt_rost I an nervouse to use it - https://www.reddit.com/r/RedWingShoes/comments/pmc2bf/my_experience_with_red_wing_leather_cream/. I will use Bicks some day.

[matt_rost]

@indigostiff To each their own, right? I've been using Red Wing Leather Cream on all my shoes for a long time, so I still had a large supply, so choosing this care product was ultimately a natural choice. It has noticeably restored the leather's vitality and durability, as well as a slight silky shine. And I didn't skimp on the application, but I also let it soak in for a long time.
