IHSB-EXT-NAT - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Natural Horsehide Type III Jacket
-
@Shane-B How to buy for the US market - ie, without VAT?
-
@indigostiff I think we've had this conversation before, haven't we?
-
@Shane-B Not really sure. If you're referring to the belt that was too small that I returned, that was over two years ago now, right? That wasn't a VAT question, but a timely processing of a return question, from what I remember.

Oh yes, I remember, I mistook you for another customer from the US.

I also am interested in ordering this jacket. How do I order without the VAT, please?

Anyone have this and the Big Buck? Not the same I realize but curious what people get more use / wear out of.

I have both Extractor and Big Buck. They really could not be more different, so I wear them for different purposes. When I first ordered my Extractor several years ago, I was looking for a sized up leather jacket that I would layer over an UHF or a hoodie. When it was new, I wore it a lot, many times a week. I do not wear it as much now, rarely, mainly because I have other fade or patina projects.
I find the Big Buck to be easier to just throw on, it is much lighter than the Extractor. I do not wear the Extractor around the house like I do with my Big Buck. It is a heavy as feck, bulky jacket. The Extractor I save for special occasions now, as I have enough patina on it to my liking and it has reached the level of shiny richness I was after. So nowadays, I wear the Big Buck every Sunday but honestly I almost always have the 21oz CPO on instead.
So I guess the TLDR: I wear the Big Buck more, it's easier to throw on randomly. Extractor is a big MFer that is for out-of-the-house special occasions. YMMV.

@natefreezy I also have both the Extractor and the Pale Rider and the Big Buck (olive green). As Steve said, there are no more different jackets. The Big Buck is a glove, soft and enveloping from the first second (even too much for my taste), while the horsehide of the Extractor is quite stiff and crisp. I really like both, but for my tastes, I definitely wear the Extractor and the Pale Rider more precisely for the crispy sensation they give me.

@Oaktavia @Luijim78 Thanks both for your thoughts! Totally agree, no right or wrong answer here obviously. I was interested though - given the differences in these shirts / jackets - how that impacts how people wear them (and how often). From my own experience, I will say that I don't wear my leather jackets around the house (even though I love them) so they invariably see less wear. I'm not totally sure how a leather shirt / CPO would fit in the mix though.
Oaktavia also super interested in the 21oz CPO, would love to hear more, but will save that for that thread.

It's easy that wear the Big Buck around the house or anywhere indoors. It's a breeze to wear.
