@Giles:

Approx 

Yes approximately,  excuse me… 843.0 to be precise, the acaia measures more accurate

Compared to other leather it‘s quite lightweight but still very warm definitely no summer shirt and suuuuuper cosy

[Snowflake]

Can't wait for mine. I realize the prevailing sentiment tends to be for copper snaps, but looking forward to my black snap version when it comes through.

Thanks! I was kind of trying to figure out how heavy the fabric is, so that I can get the right size.

Giles,

Are these gonna be a stocked item or do we need to put down a deposit?

Stocked item I believe. But I don’t know how long they will be available. Depends on level of interest and the availability of the leather.

[Maturo]

Awesome. Thanks for the info!

Steve at Simmons Bilt has got the snap dies made.  Shirts going into production….

This is the kind of piece that will outlive me and is worth every dime.  Patience is not a virtue but it is sometimes a necessity.  I claim no virtue but am fine with waiting.  Thanks for making the good stuff, Iron Heart.

Good I saw this topic now as I am preparing myself mentally to get a leathershirt… and now there is another pretender to the throne from Japan. 

[Giles]

So, we only have enough deerskin in stock to make the pre-orders.  I have ordered more, but do not have a definitive delivery date yet I am afraid….

Any updates on the big buck?

[Giles]

I dont think they are far away now.  So sorry for the extended delays.  The dies Steve had made for applying the snaps were not up to snuff, he had to get them made again…

Oh my…

I'm sure most people that got one of these, like myself, anticipate wearing it for a long time and would rather wait for the best it can be. Don't rush it in my opinion!

Thank you for the update Giles. Can’t wait to have it on!
‘If you know, you know.’ I got a little taste from the Lederhosen.

The big buck with Kolesch stuff

[Chap]

Very nice @Eisenherz congrats… so that's number 3, right?

[Eisenherz]

Thanks @Chap , what size do you have. I guess custom made?
I think so…
Wore it yesterday with the deer Vest. I know no material as deerskin that provides such a body climate. It was wet outside and about  7 ° C. It was very comfortable. I did not move the vest while eating lunch in heated room nevertheless pleasant to wear. Thanks to IH that they such nice material brought to a fine IH western shirt.
