Iron Heart X Simmons Bilt Horsehide Western Shirt - The Pale Rider - Natural
-
@Alex said in Iron Heart X Simmons Bilt Horsehide Western Shirt - The Pale Rider - Natural:
Two samples were made, one is in Norway and the other was bought by a customer in store from us, I cannot recall the sizing of the latter. Why?
Thanks! Without hopefully crossing any forum rules, there’s one floating in the ether that the seller states is a sample XXL of the new Pale Rider Blattwerk Horsehide; I was trying to corroborate their story.

@pechelman we had one in the office recently, that we applied mustang paste to to test a theory, and someone bought it in person. Not the same one you enquired about, but thank you for the thought!

Worn for 170 days so far, mostly under a layer of indigo or black denim
-
@matt_rost wow - looks amazing! Congrats! Is this a different leather to what is currently in the pipeline?
-
@long_john86 It is! Old is gold here, my friend.
-
@long_john86 Thanks mate! When I heard last year that the Pale Rider would no longer be available in this leather, I had to snap it up quickly. I prefer the more velvety, matte surface of this leather.
-
@matt_rost Great shout!
-
What’s the word on what the new leather is like?
-
@natefreezy there is very little value to what I’m showing here, but I took this picture just a second ago. These samples have been stapled to my fence for the last 15 months or so.
The leather on the right is the leather that will be used for the new Pale Riders. Never treated. It’s still rather spongy…as it was rather spongy new. Honestly, it hasn’t changed color much due to UV light like the old leather. I would say the new leather will age rather slowly and can handle one hell of a beating.
The middle leather, is the Mustang leather used on the new Simmons Bilt: Tailgunner collab. Crispy as heck at this point. But god I’ve been thinking about that jacket a lot.
-
@natefreezy a little lighter in colour, and much softer handfeel
-
Here are some wearing pictures, I don't think I've ever shown any here before (of the shirt in its worn-in state), only flat lays...
-
You are living your best life @matt_rost ! Love it!

Shit, just realised this could be happening soon?
Having back-tracked up, looks like ETA mid April? -
The PR, cloaked by RRL -

@indigostiff looking great, i’d be sweating bullets on the plane with all those layers!!!
