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

As an investment piece I just want it to fit well, so this is my concern over sleeve length however it will be good for tunnelling
-
@Peterldavey Yeah also little concerned about sleeve length but will see

Awesome! Someone ought to take weekly pics of this beauty to capture the patina stages.

@indigostiff It's Natural horsehide leather

@indigostiff he's wearing a white t-shirt, if you compare that to the color of the PR, that gives an idea of the color. Does that help?
-
@Nick IH ran a similar overshirt a few years back in ivory. This looks the same, from what I recall.
-
This new material looks so much like chrome tanned leather, it's wild. Doesn't seem to have all the benefits of veg tan (satisfying break in, darkening in high wear areas, accepting conditioner to caramelize the color, etc). As cool as it sounds to have something that's immediately soft and supple, I'm afraid I would lose interest if there's nothing to "work for." Will likely pass on this leather.
-
@indigo_fades You said that well. In short, for me, it lacks the "raw" aesthetic of the prior version. The color, too, lacks the honey-hue of the prior model. And I'm not much for the pebbling either. Just personal preferences here.
