IHSB-EXT-NAT - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Natural Horsehide Type III Jacket
-
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
-
I think of this jacket often. I have so many jackets. But this jacket, this would be the last jacket.

-
@indigostiff the old leather. As far as I know.
-
@indigostiff The only ones that exist not in the 'old' leather are the two samples I am selling now
-
What sizes are the samples, please? What's the price? Or have they already been claimed?
-
Both sold. Bummer. Thanks.
