IHSB-BIGBUCK-BLK - Black Deerskin Western Shirt - The Big Buck

@Oaktavia Looks absolutely fantastic, congratulations! Am I right in saying you bought this in person, at the party? On reflection and now you are the proud owner of it, do you have any sizing tips/advice/lessons learnt for those who are buying online and just staring at those pesky dimensions / comparing to existing shirts?
Shirt for life! Looking forward to watching the journey

Yes, it was one of the most exciting moments I had in Gosport. I could hardly contain myself, haha...The only sizing tips I can think of from the top of my head is that I usually wear a XXL in IH tops, I would say 80% of the time. This was not one of those times, it is a perfectly fitting XL. I was going primarily by chest measurements on the XXL which is why I asked to try that size on first. It felt too big straight away, and I knew XL was the way to go. So what I learned is that I might not know my measurements as well as I once thought, or perhaps I'm shrinking more than I expected I may be (from losing 30 pounds by x-ing double IPAs on the daily). Hope that helps.

@matt_rost Thanks for the kind words, Matt. I love that I was able to wear it from England, to Iceland (layover) and to BWI > WV. It is already a well traveled shirt as it came from Japan and Germany too. I'll post updates here a lot.

@Oaktavia As far as souvenirs from the UK go, you could definitely do worse than a Big Buck!

[long_john86]

@Oaktavia super useful! Cheers dude!

@Oaktavia good lord that is a perfect fit. Well done. I’m excited to see what you achieve with this

Haha yes indeed, Ross. The Big Buck plus the UHR I also picked up really can't be beat as far as souvenirs go.

@long_john86 you are welcome

@Inorganic me too!

@louisbosco snaps look awesome man. Are you going to focus on your BB or will it be in rotation?

[louisbosco]

@Oaktavia I reckon the pale rider is about as patina'd as it will be. I will defo wear it every now and then but as I like to do with new shirts, is to wear them in at the start for a few weeks.

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco yeah me too, been wearing my Buck a lot lately. I seems with the first signs of evo in high the wear spots, it starts to get a little shiny.

@louisbosco looking cool

[Danimal506]

@louisbosco Hell yea!

[Mizmazzle]

@louisbosco boom!!!

Does anyone else notice extra material in the back plackett( I think that the right name) that creates an extra roll behind the neck/shoulder's on both sides?. If so does it settle in with some wear? I have had this shirt about a year and haven’t worn it much, but when I do I seem to notice it. This is my normal shirt size didn’t size up or anything. Rest of the shirt is great

[jfk1117]

@kkibbey23 what are you hanging it on or storing it? From outsider it looks like hanger marks

[goosehd]

100% hanger marks and may settle with wear. I do not hang my big Buck for that very reason.

[kkibbey23]

Thanks for the feedback! Didn’t even think of that. I will have to fold it instead of hanging. I have it on a heavier wood hanger. I better take my olive one off too, although I don’t notice it on that one when I wear it.

Ugh I hope it settles in
