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

[marco23d]

Haven’t been able to wear mine as much over the last few months but will be changing soon

[indigostiff]

@goosehd This appears to have dropped in the collar-standing quite a bit -- otherwise...

Freaking Love this shirt, I've been a silent stalker of this forum for ages, but now I have a question for y'all ... has anyone found jacket or coat that goes well with this shirt, making the shirt a mid layer?

[indigostiff]

How do you deal with a tight inner elbow on this?

[louisbosco]

@indigostiff wear it more, stretch it out..

[goosehd]

x2 wear it.

@VincentVega

I have I feeling this would go well with the shirt...

Couple sizes up and you'd golden

[VincentVega]

@indigostiff it’s not tight at all … nicely creased in the elbow and buttery soft

[VincentVega]

@T4920 that would be a very bold look

[indigostiff]

@VincentVega it’s only right for me when I wear a long sleeve shirt underneath. Like some odd friction thing. Otherwise is fine.

[indigostiff]

Around 30 wears in - she’s a fighter

[louisbosco]

@indigostiff its a little stiff at first but after a few months of wearing and your first oil session, she'll be right

I've mentioned a few times we are looking for a new leather for these shirts...

We have found a front runner, but its a shade too light at the moment. We are asking the tannery to darken it slightly for one final sample..

Quick and dirty pics of the verrryy light one - natural Blatwerk leather

It's so soft

@Alex the Albino

@Alex that's a beauty, do I remember correctly that the Pale Rider in its current form is being discontinued due to inconsistencies in the quality of the leather?

[Alex]

yep

[EdH]

looks nice to me. And paler just means more room for higher contrasting patina, doesn't it? And I'd have thought that softer was better for shirts.

But then I am just one of those longing-lurkers on this thread and don't own the PR so what do I know...

[Alex]

@EdH Darkening it won't make it less soft, but (I think) will make it more saleable

If anyone wants this XL, by the way, DM me.

[louisbosco]

make it a CPO
