@pechelman Yeah very helpful comparison thanks! Does the big buck soften up some with wear?

@pechelman Can you say more about how the white deer differs from the big buck? Do you think they have different use cases?

How does this wear compared to say a jacket or other IH shirt? Are people wearing it over tshirt or layering over something else? Definitely interested (in natural in particular) but haven’t tried leather shirt before.

Nice @Mizmazzle! Thanks for sharing. Looks good both ways to me!

For folks who have the roughout steer chore jacket, how are you liking it? Do you find it pretty versatile to wear? And did you go true to size or size up one? I'd originally been looking at suede chore jackets but this one looks pretty nice, I like that it's not quite as long as standard for some chore jackets.

If you soak this first can it then go in the wash? Or better to hand wash to avoid any marbling?

I had some indigo transfer in my trousers so wanted to wash to hopefully stop that.

@pechelman Ok thanks so soak first in tub in warm water and then put in washing machine on warm. I couldn’t tell from previous posts if people were just soaking in tub or washing in machine or both. Yeah could use tightening up little all over and lose a little length then should be good. Thanks!

@pechelman Did you wash cold, warm or hot? Would also like to lose a little length.

Did anyone size down one from their normal IH shirt size? Wondering if that would work here vs going with normal IH size and trying to shrink down, especially in the length. I like all M measurements better than my normal L except for shoulders which seem little narrow.

I’ve got some wear in with mine now and would like to tighten up with a wash, in particular would like to lose some length. What’s the best way to do that?

Soak, hot wash and then air dry or dryer?

@neph93 You had a strategy?

@Mizmazzle Yeah thanks! Totally understood very different pieces, just wondering if you found yourself getting more usage out of one or other or fit in your wardrobe any differently from how you thought.

Do you have any pics wearing two together? That would be cool to see!

On split steer, for fit with a tshirt would you still take same size as UHF or go down size? Same size is probably more versatile, would be nice to be able to try both on but not practical.

@Mizmazzle How do you like / wear this compared to the 14oz 295? I know fairly different, I want both but need to prioritize and not sure what should be first!

How do folks like to IB vs the BB on this? I definitely want to try and pick up one version this year but not sure which one!

Also @long_john86 how do these do in warmer weather?

Thanks guys - yeah my 21 oz worn in measure at 34.25" waist, which is right between the 33 and 34 tag. Maybe I can request something in that range from the actual inventory.

@long_john86 Is there any particular reason you needed to size up on these? I'm normally 33 tag (also in 21 and 25 oz).

How do these do in warm weather? @Mizmazzle any thoughts? And does anyone do button down / business casual with these?

Thinking about picking up these or 9 oz chinos. I think the chinos would be cooler (less hot) but I like these better

@Mizmazzle You still liking this one? Can you wear it in the summer? Looking for some good lighter weight options. Also like the black wabash but that's 12 oz.

Want to get a Model 10... A or B?

Anyone with an A wish they'd gone B? Anyone with B want an A? How'd you pick if you were actually able to try both?

Thanks!

Hi all - the 25 oz just landed. These are beasts and the buttons are no joke.

In terms of size, I can button these up but are fairly snug in the waist. Is that a good place to be before the initial soak?

And then how do you all soak these - time and temp of water? Thanks!
