Iron Heart X Simmons Bilt Horsehide Western Shirt - The Pale Rider - Natural

Thank goodness…losing the brakes on a bike is never a good thing. Glad you’re ok!!

[louisbosco]

@goosehd yeah. can't say I wanna know what the experience is. but I've tried my hand at having only rear brakes on the IH chopper. at least I'll know how to adapt

I can imagine that at some point in the future, the color will darken and match the color of the oil splatters. But they will most likely always be visible. If it ever starts bothering you a lot, try using saddle soap one or two times and see if you can get some of it out at least. Make sure to condition and/or oil (not with your motorbike this time) to prevent the shirt from drying. As said, I'm not optimistic about the splatters coming off entirely, but it's worth a try and could at least lighten up the darker spots, which then, over time and more use could blend in with the patina of the shirt. Of course, there is always the option of dying the shirt in brown/black or more brake fluid as @Nik suggested. FWIW; your shirt does look nice and unique this way too!

I actually think it’s pretty cool too. This sort of thing usually bugs me big time and if the shirt were new I’d say wtf were you thinking but if this is your riding shirt then it’s not bad at all.

Looks great @louisbosco Embrace it!

It’s a Pale Jackson Pollock Rider now

Single treatment of Saphir Revovateur on my shirt, which turned it a honey/golden tan colour. It was difficult to get an even coat and is a little streaky upon examination up close. I may do another coat, but I’m happy with the colour and am going to live with it for a bit.

One of the things I am loving about this shirt is that everyone is making it theirs and no two will look alike. Each one has it's own character and style!!

[A Former User]

@goosehd totally!! And all those amazing stories what people are doing to make it there own are quite amazing! Love it

[the246guy]

@goosehd That orange is amazingly strikin!

So I was in Hamburg today. The shirt is a firm NO for me. But I've said that about 25oz in the past, too... At the very same place, if it matters anything

[A Former User]

@tody the fit is a firm YES

[goosehd]

@tody Curious why you say no. For my $.02, I think it looks great on you!

[tody]

@goosehd It's too big of a task for me. I'm not sure if I can come up with the dedication needed to break in one single item like this one. I have a hard time to maintain a decent rotation on what I already own, and this shirt is just too bold to silently fit in...

[goosehd]

@tody Completely understand and respect your logic.

[weftyarn]

Looks great but you could definitely pull it off a bit tighter / more fitted @tody
Just out of curiosity: Have you tried a size smaller?

And what did you spend the money on that the PR saved you, haha?
