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

[CosmoSix5]

So, the seller says the jacket is a few years old with tags still attached. Looks as if the oxygen has began the patina process in the photos. Is there any moisturizer I should have on hand? I have a few ATM but I don't want to mess with the color. Bick 4 is normally my go to when I do t want the color to be effected.

Anything you use will darken the hide. But maybe try a bit inside the pockets or on the reverse side of the collar to see how it looks.....

[Giles]

Have you received it yet?

I'd be a tad worried about this:

You may need to use some sort or moisteriser/conditioner on it anywat to merge the colours....

[CosmoSix5]

@Giles have not. I sent him a question about it before shipping. Here's another angle from the listing

It’s strange to me that he’d wear it for years with the tags still attached, but I don’t dare tell a man how to drink his whisky.

[CosmoSix5]

He offered me a refund and I took it. Bummed. But my stockpile exists again

@CosmoSix5 It looks like a homemade repair.

@CosmoSix5 feel sorry for you man

@CosmoSix5 As much as I hate to hear that, I personally find the chase as exciting as the catch! But I do understand how a near catch could muddy the excitement a bit. I truly hope you find what you're after!

@don_pipone yes, mine is snug too. I wish Iron Heart would’ve thought this one through a bit more. They could’ve/should’ve opened the top box up a little more and also shortened the length just a bit. When they first released these, said they fit similar to the UHF, but I find they fit much smaller, yet longer in the length… strange.

@Merv I'm still torn about whether I should keep it or not. It looks great when I wear it, but it feels a bit restrictive in the upper body. I find the front of the shirt quite slim compared to the back, which makes it look a bit odd when buttoned up. I can't button up the top three buttons anyway, as they'd just pop open again. That said, I think the shirt looks better worn unbuttoned anyway.
