IHSB-BIGBUCK-NAT - Deerskin Western Shirt 'The Big Buck' - Natural

[CosmoSix5]

The jacket would be so much more practical.... Will probably be whatever lands first lol

[indigostiff]

@CosmoSix5 It will be a dirt magnet, but that's okay.

[jebrand]

Any updates on this guy?

[Alex]

Not really - they are being made, but we don't have an exact date for their expected completion

[CosmoSix5]

That counts as an update. Just not the update some want lol

[scenic]

This thread has been quiet for awhile. Any update?

[CosmoSix5]

Really quiet! I don't care as I've spent my IH money on other IH in the time this has been being made lol. Quality takes time. I don't think I could actually click the button to buy this anyway

@19marc71 Hey man! can you drop som photos of your deerskin western shirt ( how its aged)

Anything you notice, which is not good?

[jebrand]

@ShopatIronHeart Will these be the new design mentioned in the emails that went out today?

[Bailey]

@jebrand the consensus is that the new 'style' with regards to the side seams will cover all of the upcoming Black, Olive and Natural releases.

[jfk1117]

@Bailey hmm ok. Thanks for the info. Def interested in seeing how it changes the drape and structure. Would be sure many are keen to see the sample with the side panels on vs the OG model to see differences. Don’t want to assume how I think this will change the wear but have my ideas.

[DeeDee85]

@jfk1117 if it helps, the larger sizes of the recent Self Edge collab CPO had additional side seams and my XXXL with them doesn’t wear or feel any different to any of my other IH shirts. I get that the big buck is leather but I’m sure the same will apply

[jebrand]

@Bailey Is the new style similar to the three panel backs used the larger sizes?

[jfk1117]

@DeeDee85 thanks for the insight. Yea curious based on the rigidness factor of deer being substantially less than heavy denim. But does lower my concerns a bit

[DeeDee85]

@jfk1117 no problem, hope I’m right cos I would like one of these at some point also!

[Bailey]

@jebrand they will be similar to that yes

[jdwaid]

Revisiting the question comparing the leather on this one to the pale rider. Am I right to assume this one is more of a rough out feel / dull shine and the pale rider a more traditional feel / slick shine? Also wondering a bit about the comparison of tanning processes.

It would also be great to see how this one ages compared to the pale rider.

[sabergirl]

The sample is out there somewhere, but otherwise there aren’t any aged shots.

However, the deerskin is a completely different animal. Literally. It doesn’t feel like any other leather. It’s lighter and more supple than suede or roughout. No comparison to the pale rider, though I will admit I only have the black big buck.
