IHSB-BIGBUCK-NAT - Deerskin Western Shirt 'The Big Buck' - Natural
-
In my humble opinion…. the big bucks are rough and rugged shirts. We’re talking the Belgian Malinois of shirts. They’re meant to be worked, and those imperfections with time are just massaged into what becomes each one’s character. Keeping this thing pristine is simply not an option; there are other shirt offerings for that. When you’re flying down the street on an Indian Chief (or pick your bike of choice) with this thing on, it flat out looks and feels badass - even if a chest pocket isn’t squared to the root of pi.
For the price however I can also certainly see folks wanting something impeccable. That’s just not what this one is about. -

@blue2gnt so they let you know before they sent it. To inquire weither you still wanted it? I re read your post I missed that part....
Yes, that's what I meant when I said "I was notified today that the only shirt available to fulfill my order was the one pictured"
Ultimately I decided to keep my order (should arrive tomorrow, so remains to be seen how much this will bother me once I put it on).
Still very excited to receive this, just super disappointed because I fully expected (given the price) that this would be the most high quality IH piece I own, not the lowest-quality one.

What a ride this thread has been.
At the end of the day, you either want the shirt, or you don’t.
What a privilege it is for us to have this forum to obsess over the amazing clothes Iron Heart produces for us. We get to talk about all this in their house they made for us.
Performing your disappointment in this space for all the world to see must be a thrill. Perhaps you think you’ll receive more apologies this way, or just make more folks feel bad or somehow guilty for something they don’t have control over.
Just seek a refund if you don’t want to deal with it. I expect you’ll find the no quibbles return policy will accommodate your needs, and there will be something else soon enough to spend your money on.
Just needed to vent my spleen a little. I think the shirt is beautiful, and am looking forward to seeing how it ages for those of you who keep one.

@sabergirl tomorrow will be official wear #1 !!!

Nice @dirtyframer . The deerskin is really next level. Feels so good to wear. You’re going to love it.
-
@sabergirl I have the olive, looking forward to the natural as well! The natural is significantly softer than the olive!
-
@sabergirl just an assumption but I literally told my wife that I thought it was a dye thing when it arrived Monday.
-
You’re probably right. I’ve got the black. Maybe @indigostiff can chime in since he apparently has a leather shirt obsession.
-
@sabergirl missed the restock on the black... would have loved the trifecta. Hopefully it comes back..
-
@sabergirl All of them start out as natural, from what I understand, and are then paint-dyed their respective olive or black colors, thus affecting the hand of the original hide, sort of like a coating of paint on a surface - it just changes it and somewhat stiffens it.

I guess I'm never too old to learn something new! 44 years old and all this time I thought companies who sold clothing had some level of control over the quality of the product they sell.
What's even wilder is I thought they might even rely on their customers to provide them with feedback on the products they buy in order to improve said quality, but that's obviously nonsense too
Thanks for setting us straight!
