[Beecherarts]

Hey guys, are there any updates on this release? I’m eager to get my hands on one!

[Daniel San]

I think @19marc71 has the sample now .

[19marc71]

@Daniel-San yes, he does️

[indigostiff]

@19marc71 Is it multi-colored, or is that just me?

[19marc71]

@indigostiff It seems a little but it ain‘t. I think it‘s on the direction of the brush.

@19marc71 oh sweet dude!! You're gonna have lots of us drooling over this thing and wanting all the updates!! haha

[19marc71]

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 Hey man, when you have a line-up like that, best to have one for every occasion!!

@19marc71 how would you compare the big buck vs the pale rider? How do you use them besides having one for special occasions?
