IHSB-PR-NAT - Iron Heart X Simmons Bilt Horsehide Western Shirt - The Pale Rider - Natural

[catdad1]

@northsouthdenimguy how's the cut through the arms? Looks like you have room in the bicep but forearm may be a bit fitting as are most iron heart shirts?

[Crispy Heron]

Are these now extinct?

[goosehd]

@Crispy-Heron In this configuration yes, although it is being replaced with a different leather.

@ShopatIronHeart Any updates?

[Crispy Heron]

@goosehd - thanks. I had totally forgotten about that. Wouldn’t mind one - I note that there is one XS in stock left but I think that may be a tight squeeze for me.

@catdad1

The arms feel great, for reference I have 17 inch biceps or so… it’s by no means tight overall, but it is pretty fitted for me, chest shoulders, and through the armpit area. definitely not in a bad way this is how I prefer leather shirts to fit. I typically will just wear something relatively thin underneath. I’m not a big layerererrrrr….

[catdad1]

@northsouthdenimguy very helpful. Thanks!

@Crispy-Heron No further updates I am afraid at present other than it is in production with the next iteration using Blattwerk leather.

[Crispy Heron]

@Bailey - grand. May email you re: dimensions of the XS you have in stock?

[Bailey]

@Crispy-Heron Please do mate, and we will get back to you as soon as we can

[deanclean]

I can’t take it anymore! I need one!

[indigostiff]

The hand of the old style shirt is much different than the upcoming Blattwerk. This is my #1 randomly complimented piece in my wardrobe. Just be ready, when you wear it, strangers will approach...

[Crispy Heron]

@indigostiff - different how?

[SonnyTheElder]

@northsouthdenimguy Was this the one that was just on eBay? If so, I had my on the same one. Congrats on acquiring this killer top!

[indigostiff]

@Crispy-Heron The old one appears more structured, with a slight sueding to it. It is totally raw and unfininished. The new one is softer out of the box, with what appears to be a top coat, sealing its finish a bit more.

I have had two mishaps with the old one - black sharpie and slime - both of which were expertly removed by Rago Bros in NJ, refinishing the whole jacket. I'm not sure the new one offers that serviceability.

[Crispy Heron]

@indigostiff - thanks mate. I am in two minds about getting one - XS in stock. What you reckon?

[indigostiff]

@Crispy-Heron If it's your size, I wouldn't hesitate - on the old style, that is...

[northsouthdenimguy]

@SonnyTheElder

Sorry just saw this…yes it was!

[FlavourFade]

@Crispy-Heron if it's your size I'd highly recommend getting one. I had one of the last XXL but did not keep it because I felt insecure at the moment. Now I regret it very much, because I feel like the new one will be very cool but not as badass and raw like the first version

[Crispy Heron]

@FlavourFade - thanks. Just trying to work out if the dimensions will fit me. Love the idea of it being bad ass and gnarly. Just don’t want it not to fit!

[indigostiff]

@Crispy-Heron The fit is its own universe - it doesn't break in quickly, or even at all, so make sure it's not tight anywhere.
