X-Post for the guys who don't follow the RRY3 thread. Wear day 1

@Jcaz6996

70 days of wear since the beginning of June. I also think it benefits the shirt to leave it untreated for as long as possible.

49 wear days so far.

Only worn for 49 days for the Redline Rally and the shirt is developing slowly. From now on it can be a shirt for every day due to the temperatures.

When I saw which leather would be used in the next production run, I had to hurry up and get one of the "old" Pale Riders. I prefer the velvety texture of this Italian horsehide leather and like having to break in leather and jeans properly. No shortcuts, no premature care to soften the leather, that's my plan for this shirt. I'm really looking forward to the monthly updates to see how the different versions will develop in the context of this competition.
The first 2 days my Pale Rider was very stubborn, but by the start of day 3 it had already adapted well enough to my body shape (especially in the arm and shoulder area) that I really feel comfortable in it. Here are more pics from wear day 1

@denim-dawg Truly an inside-outside sensation

@Mister_Brue said in Redline Rally Y3:

@matt_rost @denim-dawg It’s amazing how different these two jackets look. Matt, did you treat yours with something? I love the evo on the arms too.

Awesome guys!

Thanks a lot!
No treatment so far. I was planning on not treating it until at least the end of the rally. I just like the color and the rather velvety texture too much. When I got the shirt, it already had a few small cracks in the leather (on the right arm) and I was a bit unsure whether the leather could need some moisture before I start to wear it. I then decided to leave it as it was/is and continue to observe the cracks and so far nothing has gotten worse.

@matt_rost it looks so joyful! Really got some outstanding marks of life on them already! What an interesting piece

I'm slowly making it to my own and love this process

@Jcaz6996 said in Iron Heart X Simmons Bilt Horsehide Western Shirt - The Pale Rider - Natural:

@matt_rost Definitely bud .. yours is looking great

I think that letting the shirt age slowly is the best way to do it (in the long run). Your Pale Rider shows it very well

70 days of moderate wear so far, but will catch up in the next few months

In the meantime they have acquired a little more patina again. Had to wash them twice in the past (was just necessary) and had to rub out ketchup stains later...
