IHSB-EXT-NAT - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Natural Horsehide Type III Jacket
-
Been having so much fun with this jacket, love the texture, the feel, the smell.. and as a photographer it's a dream to try and capture the beauty of it. Hope you can appreciate the detailshots after 28 days (not much sun).
-
@Mizmazzle that’s why I felt the urge to capture as it is right now.
-
Will there be a restock on the IHSB-EXT-NAT soon?
-
this was the latest from Alex, so probably not soon. Any news @ShopatIronHeart
-
Will all future runs of all of these natural leather jackets use the new Blattwerk leather seen on the 2025 pale rider, or will the original still be used on certain pieces?
-
@T4920 Do you know the difference between Blattwerk and the original leather? I wouldn't mind an education on the difference between them if you do know.
-
@chadstone30 I'm no leather expert, but it looks a lot softer and more mailable. Also has a more prounced grain and appears to be a lighter colour when new.
Check out the Pale Rider thread and compare earlier versions of the shirt with the one currently available.
I think it was changed due to consistency issues with the old leather if I remember correctly.
-
@T4920 is correct in that the original Italian horsehide was not consistent enough, so the Blattwerk was the best alternative we had at the time (for the pale rider). We have since found another leather, which we'll release the details of when we're ready
