@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

@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.

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...

@JamesB I am absolutely thrilled

@SKT Thank you very much, I am sure that it will be an exciting journey. I am new to the topic UHR (but not to the topic of IH and their different denims) and have been wearing them for 7 days now. When they were new and bone dry, I could hardly get in them and when I took a few steps around the apartment in them, I almost fell on my face After the first wash, however, they were almost comfortable straight away

I'm now also in with one pair. After not buying any new jeans for a long time and losing a lot of weight in the process, it became inevitable that I should buy at least ONE pair of well-fitting pants as the temperatures dropped. Thanks to @JamesB 's help, everything turned out well and after soaking and a quick machine wash, they fit like a glove. I haven't taken any fit pics yet, but I'll post some at the next opportunity.

@Daniel-San I'm still torn between Y2 (this model) and a leather-like Type I/II from Double Helix. Thanks for sharing your experience.

@Daniel-San This chore jacket looks incredibly good on you. How comfortable it is to wear?

@denim-dawg If it doesn't end up being the most worn-out specimen, then maybe it's the most interesting one

@doubletee It's quite an experience to see how the process noticeably progresses from one week to the next. And it fits like a dream. That's why I feel the same way

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.

49 wear days so far.
