How it is going,

@oreamnos Are you tucking this thing in? How did you wind up with that horizonal line of crocking across the back?

Not tucking it in.
The horizontal indigo bleeding, backside, came from IH-526SV.

Crazy evo on that one @oreamnos be sure to post some more updates in a few months. If you keep it up you'll have an indigo overdyed pale rider

3 years old with many wears - and she still creaks when I move! The original and best.

Holy fuck this thing is insane. The horsehide is so soft! Very happy I went with the XL, thank you IHUK team for all of your help

New to the Pale Rider game
I fell in love with it when I saw it in the flesh for the first time at the 20th anniversary party. I have been hesitant since. Now finally fate struck as I stumbled over this second hand one, which was an absolute bargain. The previous owner must have worn it very rarely. It is still quite stiff and shows barely any signs of wear. The fit is pretty snug on the chest - don‘t know if it will stretch at all over time. I prefer to wear it unbuttoned tho.
However, so far I don‘t regret anything.
-
@don_pipone looks good! It doesn’t stretch at all. Don’t treat it, lest it darken and lose its suede feel.

@indigostiff
Thanks mate. I was afraid so. Anyways, I will probably never wear it buttoned up. -
It might has been answered before, but is there any way to stop it from shedding those leather particles or speed it up at least? I assume it will end eventually somewhere along the journey but it is a wee bit annoying.

-
@deanclean I can only agree. I always reach for the hand warmer pockets in this one and the big buck.
-
I did approach my leather shop regarding piece-dying the shirt black or navy, to which they responded - "Since the leather is naturally tanned and has this finish I fear that it will stiffen a great deal and have a funny finish if dyed."

Folks who bought this in the new leather…how is it evolving? Would enjoy seeing some updates / patina
