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

[T4920]

@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

@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

[T4920]

@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

[Alex]

@louisbosco asked and answered, several times mate

[pechelman]

just sayin'

[T4920]

@pechelman whaaaaaaat!? has this been modified or was it a sample that never went into full production...

[pechelman]

checkout the IHAS-01 and -02 threads for the glory @T4920

[marco23d]

shoot i can't do an XL but that sample is beautiful. Looks very soft stares at my pale rider

[louisbosco]

@Alex ahaha shit I must’ve missed the reply or forgot

[Giles]

The hand-warmer pockets on the IHAS-01 CPO were super unsatisfactory. On the IHAS-02, less so, but that had a lining.....
