IHSB-BIGBUCK-NAT - Deerskin Western Shirt 'The Big Buck' - Natural
An Iron Heart/Simmons Bilt collaboration, this is our interpretation of the classic western shirt made from natural, undyed deerskin. Unlike hides taken from animals kept as livestock, the leather used in this shirt’s construction has been sourced from wild deer living in the woodland and mountains of Germany and Austria. This results in hides that often show distinctive scars, a byproduct of the antlered males fighting with each other during the rutting season. Being smaller animals, it is more difficult to obtain larger pieces of leather without scars, meaning that no two shirts will be the same, with each bearing the unique characteristics of how the deer lived its life.
Tanned using a centuries-old process known as Sämischgerbung, the leather itself is sourced from the world-renowned Kolesch tannery in Germany. This chemical-free method of tanning is very labour-intensive and time-consuming, but the result is an incredibly soft, smooth leather which is also very hard-wearing. With the natural appearance slowly darkening over time, this exquisite shirt will age beautifully, taking on a patina and character totally unique to you and the way you live.

In my unqualified opinion, this shirt might be the exact shirt I wish the Pale Rider would’ve been “out of the box”. Alas, horsehide is just it’s own beast…
I ride motorcycles with deer hide gloves. They always begin the season in this pale yellow color and slowly age to a light brown. Not as pink/orange/caramel as the PR’s horsehide. But damn this is tempting and I bet the softness and drape of this shirt will probably require zero intervention. Just lots of wear.
I want it!!!! -
@Autorotate your pale rider journey is amazing man! Very inspiring and tempting.. idk if i can afford it when it drops

@Alex I'm indeed signed up for release notification…. But any idea when we can expect it?
-
@Heavy_blue yea man. It was fun and the jacket is perfect on the bike. It fits well, I can reach forward, swivel my head comfortably, but because it’s so thick and robust, I don’t wear it for extended periods.
This deer shirt I think will be softer, more pliable and overall more comfortable. if it is anything like my deer gloves, I bet it could be worn comfortably against bare skin. -
oh snap!
-
need to know when so I can mentally prepare myself

@louisbosco and sell another kidney

@Giles the only left i have is a 19oz lefty

Well, I guess I can cancel my post for Wanted in Black....so sick
sky is the limit. But in all honesty I started to consider buying one of those leather shirts after seeing his outcome.
