Behold, a pale Rider, the Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt IHSB-PR-NAT Pale Rider Western Shirt in Natural Horsehide. This natural tan leather rendition of the Iron Heart Western shirt is for those who appreciate the transformative nature of so much of what we cover here at Heddels. This is a shirt jacket that will likely be unrecognizable after some years spent wearing it, collecting layers of color from the sun, oil smudges from your Harley, rain drizzle, and the leather conditioner of your choice. It’s one for the patina lords.
The Pale Rider is all about the leather, being cut and meticulously sewn from an undyed and unlined Italian leather, in Simmons Bilt’s Scottish leather jacket factory. It’s an undeniably rugged (dare I say primal?) layer against the elements. Being priced between higher-end shirting and lower-end leather jackets, the Pale Rider is a good, accessible entry point to leather outerwear. It also fits like, well, an overshirt! Meaning that if you haven’t found a leather jacket style that works for you, this is another option for you to ponder over.
The shirt is built from Iron Heart’s Western Shirt pattern, creating a slim-fitting overshirt silhouette, and comes complete with a range of charmingly hary Iron Heart details: Copper snap button front placket, dual Officer-style flap closure chest pockets, gusseted side seams, snap-adjustable cuffs, bartack reinforced seams, triple stitched seams, Western-style front and back yoke reinforcements, and a branded Iron Heart tag.
Available for $1500 from Division Road.
