Just screams luxurious cozy

618 or 613

Those come with a slightly shorter body length right? I think either one will look great on you.

Yes 1” shorter, should be better for my height. Plus the lining would be a little warmer

All good points.
Keep in mind, Iron Heart western shirts run slim, as they should. IMHO, they’re the best fitting shirts on the market today. That being said, they can be difficult for larger guys to fit.
If you’re concerned about the “slim” fit of this shirt, you might want to consider a different brand. For instance Black Bear makes a stunning horse hide shirt. The fit is a bit roomier.

Thanks, @Merv! Your Pale Rider really started the itch for me. I have looked at Black Bear and also at "Fortela" which makes a supernice grey-green shirt from heqavy suede. I am just afraid that I will always return to the Iron-Heart as my "original desire". Happened before...!

The leather also ‘sits’ differently, which will give you some variety. Which size is your 519?

this jacket is really nice on you. I owned one (not the nordstrom model) and it just never felt right on me.

If you go to the 600s, I'd suggest the horsehide either SH if you want a trimmer fit or the regular horsehide. The regular steerhide models have that hide with really thick top coat. Takes years and hard wearing to break down. The end result is nice, but in the short term, you're going to have that soft 500 leather and it will be like night and day. Other option is 118, very soft and nice matte finish so will contrast your 519, but it's also cut longer. Can't remember if same length as 519 or maybe a touch shorter.

The 519 is the same pattern as the 613S(H) except an inch longer (so the same length as the 118) and of course subject to alpha sizing, so if you’re in between those sizes, you’re stuck.

The M of the 519 is a 613S in 40, with marginally (1/4”) wider shoulders and an inch of added length.

Today I am wearing —SPAM LINK REMOVED— amazing Brown leather jacket. It is super comfortable and makes me elevate my look.

No you’re not and no it doesn’t.

Wilderness continues to prove a great all-around travel jacket. Unplanned photo snapped while waiting for an elevator.

Nice denim too. Who from?

Sugar Cane Okinawa, like anything direct from Japan it’s a bargain right now with the weak yen.

Yes, thank you, I know that. Superb jacket distributed in Italy and France also effectively in the 90's. Made in the USA also at a time when Schott did not let anything be done by European nominees. Today "LC" Schott is a disaster, it seems to me, for the image of the brand... With a few rare exceptions.

A few years back Schott European was doing some really nice non-leather garments. Shirts and jackets.
