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

[Luijim78]

I knew I shouldn't have taken the Extractor out of the closet... I just got the penultimate piece of this beauty

[Luijim78]

good morning I'm very happy to have taken one from the old batch, I really like the color and the fit (much less rigid than the Extractor)... if I really have to find a flaw it's that it leaves a lot of micro fragments of leather, especially on the Vest in the back part in Duck fabric, nothing that can't be solved with a good brushing 🪥🪥

That will calm down with a reasonable amount of time and wear. Mine did it as well at first and I haven't seen it in a very long time now. Great looking shirt and outfit!!

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot pale rider indeed!

[Luijim78]

@goosehd Thank you so much Sir I really like it and I'm so happy to have found another one

[indigostiff]

Apparently this is a thing.... just imagine...

@indigostiff Where are these photos from? That is crazy, I wonder if a hand/thumb print from putting the hat on would show up as patina.

@Giles how about a IHC-06 Pale Rider, Big Buck, etc.?

[indigostiff]

@Oaktavia It's a Papa Nui on Standard and Strange still -- searching "A-26 Cap - Veg Tan Shinki Horsehide" will get you there. There's still some L and M available.

The patina will be maddening lol.

[indigostiff]

Back in for service, she is. The putty stain was just too much...

[Oaktavia]

@indigostiff Oh wow I like it even more from that angle. Did not realize it was Papa Nui.

[indigostiff]

@Oaktavia So clean...

[Oaktavia]

@indigostiff it is a beautiful hat, that is for sure. I just wonder if it would get hot to wear.

[sabergirl]

Dang that hat is crazy. I’d love to put one of those through the paces. I expect you’re right that it would be way too hot to be practical. Maybe also a little heavy.

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl yeah, maybe just a cold weather hat. If I hadn't just bought a new jacket I might have pulled the trigger on that hat.

[sabergirl]

Little pricy for a hat, to me. But it sure looks like a nice piece!

[matt_rost]

7 month and until now still untreated...

[FlavourFade]

@matt_rost incredible progress!!

[Karol]

Everyone is evolving these shirts like a rockstar, and in such unique ways!
I can’t wait for the new version.

[indigostiff]

@matt_rost Mine is untreated, too, and is how I like it. I found a place in the US that cleans it without darkening it - somehow. It's an expensive endeavor, but they do a fabulous job.
