IHSB-BIGBUCK-NAT - Deerskin Western Shirt 'The Big Buck' - Natural
-
I‘m really really sorry but it‘s state is close to the day I received it last year. I rock the black big buck and my pale rider if possible and keep the natural for special occasions when others a wearin a suit and tie.
-
@indigostiff there are colour variances skin to skin, and so over the shirt. This is visible on the product imagery too. As with all Big Bucks, if uniformity and ‘perfection’ is your thing, this isn’t going to be for you.

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.

@indigostiff see bold above and images from OP. Given these hides are then undyed, anything present will be more visible than on the dyed versions
-
@19marc71 how would you compare the big buck vs the pale rider? How do you use them besides having one for special occasions?
-
Sorry, it took some days for answering, was caught in family business.
I would like to compare them to a classic mercedes sl and a classic porsche 911. Timeless classics for different usage but totally usable day by day.
I wore the big buck on marriages and ridin my harley, but rode it with the pale rider too and wore it at the opening of art exhibitions. Try to wear them just at rainless weather and temperatures between 13-21 degrees. Like to combine my Wesco’s with both shirts.
Black Suede blubaughs or engineers with the big buck, natural standard & strange‘s or iron heart engineers with the pale rider.Hope you can work with it.

@19marc71 thanks dude!! Very helpful insight. Awesome wearing a leather shirt to a wedding I thought my Iron Heart sneakers with the suit once the ceremony was finished was the maximum
-
Hi all, just a quick one on these amazing looking shirts, if I am a Medium in all my IH westerns, then will I be a medium in these leather shirts too? - leather shirt virgin
-
@Alextucker until we have the production run here and measured, we cannot be sure
-
ok thanks Alex appreciate that
-
-
Any idea for when this will be available? TY
-
So you wear this on bare skin? It seems like an odd item. Yet I can't look away.. of course I'd need to save up a whole lot to make this happen.
-
I mean you could go commando w it if that’s your style but would rock it how you would a CPO

-
@19marc71 I like the information, can you elaborate a bit more on what each one is better for?
