shirt is looking great @Oaktavia nice to see the patina and wears on it after just a couple months!!
It's pretty much all I wear besides my 140IG. How is yours treating you?
-
@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
-
@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
-
@Raisinoux yeah, I just avoid wearing certain shirts under other shirts for that reason.
-
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.
-
@Oaktavia that looks fucking amazing!
-
@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?

No idea Stevie. All I know is that it started off deep black, and it is what it is now. I did not see it regularly between a and b.
Sorry

@Mister_Brue I think that must be it. Nine years is a long time for all the patina to change the shirt to that brown color. I'm just scratching the surface. Pleased with the results so far, though. And faster than expected.

@Oaktavia how will you clean / wash it?
There is a detailed answer to this question a while back in this topic that @goosehd shared a few times. I plan to hold off on that as long as I can for now. I have spot cleaned gently and not gently with different results so far.
-
@Oaktavia Thank you. I saw his response, too. I have had very good results with a professional cleaner on my pale rider - I think I'll use them when I need this one cleaned, too.

Are these able to be treated with any sort of product? Or are these meant to be left as they are? @Chap

I have no experience with any products just brush off dirt if necessary and leave it as it is. It looks perfect @Oaktavia

The leather becomes more and more close to the undyed, natural color in areas with more wear off. The black dye becomes brown with sunlight, water, sweat, wear time.
It is nothing delicate and needs no special care or treatment, this is hard wearing workwear at its best.
Example of a well worn Austrian Lederhose from the Salzkammergut area that once was black like your shirts.
