Deerskin Western Shirt 'The Big Buck' - Natural
IHSB-BIGBUCK-NAT Seasonal or Limited RunNo tax
An Iron Heart/Simmons Bilt collaboration, this is our interpretation of the classic western shirt made from natural, undyed deerskin. Unlike hides taken from animals kept as livestock, the leather used in this shirt’s construction has been sourced from wild deer living in the woodland and mountains of Germany and Austria. This results in hides that often show distinctive scars, a byproduct of the antlered males fighting with each other during the rutting season. Being smaller animals, it is more difficult to obtain larger pieces of leather without scars, meaning that no two shirts will be the same, with each bearing the unique characteristics of how the deer lived its life.
Tanned using a centuries-old process known as Sämischgerbung, the leather itself is sourced from the world-renowned Kolesch tannery in Germany. This chemical-free method of tanning is very labour-intensive and time-consuming, but the result is an incredibly soft, smooth leather which is also very hard-wearing. With the natural appearance slowly darkening over time, this exquisite shirt will age beautifully, taking on a patina and character totally unique to you and the way you live.
