IHSB-PR-NAT - Iron Heart X Simmons Bilt Horsehide Western Shirt - The Pale Rider - Natural
Iron Heart - Iron Heart X Simmons Bilt Horsehide Western Shirt - The Pale Rider - Natural
Launches Tuesday, June 7th at 1 pm EST.
We knew we were looking at something extremely special when we saw this in pre-books. Then the waiting game started. It's been painful to know this thing existed but not be able to get your hands on it. Well, let me tell you, it was worth the wait. It's everything we imagined it to be. From the smell of the leather to the copper snaps, this horsehide is the baddest western shirt we've ever touched. They employed the power of their vegetable-tanned horsehide but skived it down to a wearable shirt weight. We wouldn't say it's light by any means, it's just not quite as hardy as a jacket. This piece is all about patina. It's a project jacket that only gets better the more you beat it up. This icon has already sold out on Iron Heart's website in the time we received it from London.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a medium in this piece. We would highly recommend sizing up once in this piece if you're not looking to stretch it out. The medium was tight. And, this is a full-grain leather that doesn't move as easily as cotton. If you normally wear a medium from Iron Heart you should consider sizing up one. If you normally wear a medium from another brand, please scope the size charts. Most people size up at least once from IH even in cotton shirting. This one may call for going up twice if you're looking to layer. Check those measurements twice, as well. 99% of our returns are because an item is too small. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
Apparel
The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
