@Mizmazzle @goosehd thanks guys, I appreciate the insight. I don't feel like it's ruined I just had a bit of panic this morning. My mind wanders quickly. Do you have a suede brush you prefer and could recommend?

Edit: haha @Mizmazzle I just reread your response and you're right on the money, gave me a chuckle.

[Mizmazzle]

I found this one on Amazon. Works great.

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle Great shout and what I was trying to find a picture of!! Also, recommend investing in a suede eraser. Probably can find a combo pack from Amazon.

There are also many tutorials on YouTube on how to use them to prevent damage. As @Mizmazzle said, slow and gentle is the key to long term cleaning and care for suede.

[Oaktavia]

Is this one? It came in my Birkenstock kit.

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia yeah dude. That’s a suede brush for sure.

[goosehd]

@Oaktavia The square bit is the eraser.

[Oaktavia]

Cool, thanks fellas

[Oaktavia]

@Mister_Brue i have to be reminded sometimes

[indigostiff]

@Oaktavia I have learned the hard way to send leather issues to the professionals - they’re expensive and time consuming though. Rago Bros in NJ is my go-to.

Any plans for a restock on this? If I’m a xxl in western shirts should I be looking at a xxl in the big buck?

shirt is looking great @Oaktavia nice to see the patina and wears on it after just a couple months!!

for sure. We just cleared all our leather from tannery to factory. Once I work out how many shirts will come from the leather at the factory, we will plan more with the tannery.

It's pretty much all I wear besides my 140IG. How is yours treating you?

[louisbosco]

@Oaktavia not too bad. still fairly new. only wear it while riding so it'll take awhile. with that said, some of the creases of the sleeves has set in so that's a good start

[Raisinoux]

@Oaktavia Same here, my wabash western shirt had a weird line caused by a fold in the length of arms around the honeycombs area, didn't take a lot of attention to it, now it has faded like that :C

[Oaktavia]

@Raisinoux yeah, I just avoid wearing certain shirts under other shirts for that reason.

[Oaktavia]

Wearing this buck a lot lately.

[Oaktavia]

I have been layering this Big Buck over my IHJ-140-IG and it's perfect. Fades and patina are starting to take off with the deerskin. I wear it 12-16 hours a day. All the dang time I have it on. It seems to take on more character each day I wear it.

[louisbosco]

@Oaktavia that looks fucking amazing!

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco thanks dude! I have been wearing it ton since the party. It fits snugly over my Type 1, its perfect for that sort of layering.

One thing I was wondering about, it seems as the black fades away, the natural color is revealed on the outside. I don't see any brown like the photo examples of Haraki's. I am wondering if it first fades to the natural light yellow/tan and then from there darkens to brown with patina? @Giles is this correct?
