I saw it in person yesterday, but only in big sizes..... it's loooovely.

Question... does anyone recall a discussion in this thread on lamb vs. calf leather for the classic biker jacket? I tried searching and I couldn't find anything and hoping to not have to look through all 145 pages!

Or if not, can anyone discuss the pros/cons of each? Just noticing a significant price difference between the two on LVR..

Thanks for the response. I know more expensive isn't always necessarily better but I was surprised the calf ones are closer to $2.5k while the lamb ones are around $2.0k.

They only have the lamb in the store near me so I couldn't compare in person. This is helpful - thanks again!

I feel like this poor thread has gone to sleep while we all wait for the weather to turn and we can drag out more of our Rick. I've had to resort to stalking the LV forum, buying a Kusama NF and trying to educate tPFers about her work ... I need my subversive, intriguing Rick friends back !!!

I don't think I'll buy any Rick this season. I went home for the weekend and visited the store. They seem to have it a new low point with the leather quality, what on earth is all that shiny stuff? Terrible. I think the golden boots on NAP were the last nail in the coffin for me.I know dude has to make money but that's just too much (at least for me). I had been toying with the idea of buying new combats this season but they still have that crepe sole that creases if you look at it.
Here's to hoping "Island" will be better. I have high hopes for the collection since it's menswear counterpart was pretty much flawless.

Hi, new to the thread and still learning.

Was all the RO leather shiny this season? I went to a store that had some RO leathers and some of it didn't seem shiny to me. There was some, but I thought some of it was semi matte too? But then, I am new to RO and have nothing to compare to the previous seasons.

Maybe some of the semi matte stuff was last season? What is the name of this season and the previous season? Is there a way to tell from the tags? TIA! I would like to get a RO jacket.

Oh, I was also looking at the Basic Wedge ankle boots. I noticed that this season they are made out of cow leather? Last season was calf? Can any of you tell me the difference? Does one stretchy more when worn on the foot then the other? Is one more likely to get scuffed up or be more delicate?

I too am so anxious for cooler weather to break-out the RO......

i have no clue what RO is offering nowadays....i got the orig design orig leather jacket and i was/am good...

So sorry K -- I'm liking the draping, non leather things this year but I get your drift on the shiny stuff. And you were so right on the coats -- you'd think they'd have made 100 or so, no?

Oh my you poor thing -- how on earth? At least it's better before we get into boot season (real boots, as opposed to broken foot boots)! Will look for your message to catch up!

Fellow RO people -- do you give to charities? Which ones? I've tried to start a thread in the Money part of tPF on this topic after cruising through one too many reveal of multiple Kusama purchases in the LV thread. Just made me think of when I gave more, why/how/when etc. and I think this group is probably like minded. Rick just attracts a different kind of fashionista (or anti-fashion, quality over quantity) person.

A good friend bought the first one and I just now followed suit. It's pretty faboosh!!
