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

[Inorganic]

@Mizmazzle thanks for sharing this, it is beyond helpful as I navigate which vintage of Pale Rider I’ll be looking for. As I understand it the newer ones, when available, will be the right sample (of the 3 brown ones) whereas older versions are the left most? If so I think I’m on the hunt for an older XL….

[FlavourFade]

@Inorganic I do also prefer the OG but maybe with real wear the nat blattwerk looks cool too. Let's wait for the work of the @denim-dawg

[Mizmazzle]

@Inorganic glad you’re finding it helpful. The old version of the Pale Rider and BareBack leather are not in this experiment.

These are the new natural leathers that Simmons Bilt was trying as a replacement for the QC issues they were having with the old version leather. Only the blattwerk in the experiment has been used in the current sample that Denim Dawg is wearing.

[Inorganic]

@Mizmazzle ah ok!!! Very good to know. Thanks

[Mizmazzle]

@Inorganic for sure man!!

[pechelman]

At this point, should these leather samples age any further naturally? It would be interesting to apply some oil and continue the experiment.

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman right? That’s probably a good next step. The other variable to consider is that they are not getting any rubbing or contact from other sources like clothing, furniture, bags, etc.

@Mizmazzle Crackalackin! That’s some real quality Fence work there!

Absurd that they change colour so much!!

[denim-dawg]

@FlavourFade I thank you humbly for your faith in me, Master Anything you want me to do wearing it or expose it to? I haven’t even been in the rain with it, yet, but maybe next time it pours I should go for it like a millennium boyband? Anything else?

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Daaahhhmmmm… that looks too good to eat. Stunning patina and wear, Sir!

@denim-dawg thanks dude! Gonna miss wearing her (I’ve named her Winona)

Took advantage of the beautiful day here to get a few pics in natural light. Likely won’t see much of her until autumn….

[denim-dawg]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Winona?! Gorgeous name. She looks fabulous in the sun. Hope she gets a good rest until she gets to come out to play again. I’m going to be wearing mine everyday… still funky even to think about that Take care

You ride? Would love to see some abuse from some hours on a motorcycle, but in general I love to see what comes to your beautiful jacket by coincidence and just livin'

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot late to this but the “Winona Pale Rider” is hilariously accurate
