Oh lordy......there's a snowball's chance in Hades that these will look decent on me, but I just had to give it a try......

http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/p/Ri...arch.jhtml%3FN%3D4294944377%26rd%3D1%26st%3Ds

Bought it through NM instead of Bergdorf's - going through on of those rebate sites makes it a bit more affordable as well.

Happy Holidays to all.......

BUSTED - will cancel this order and order at Barneys....cheaper. Shame on me for not doing my research!

Hi guys, I am new to RO. I have been mostly dabbling in BAL moto jackets and I saw someone post a mod pic of a RO jacket and I fell in love and have now become obsessed with tracking one down. I live in Florida so I love the look of the thinner cardigan like feel since it doesn't get to cold here.

So I have a few questions if someone could please help me out. Is their a certain style that I should be looking for that refers to the thinner ones? I love the look of just the classic leather jacket.. I think that's what its called

And I've been noticing a lot of them on eBay from bladerunner.82/Spence clothing... I think they are located in Italy. Are they an authentic seller? I've never bought from out of the country before and not sure how it works..is it safe? What are US custom fees normally like? Is there a way to track it? I've heard horror stories from the BAL forum of jackets getting stuck at customs for months. I think I saw people from this forum getting a jacket from here with good luck I just wanted to make sure

Thanks for listening. I really want an RO jacket after reading this entire thread...this site is dangerous:)

Hello cmdfsu -
Welcome to this RO thread...it IS dangerous!

Let me give you some quick answers:
1) bladerunner on the bay is legit. I've ordered and returned items with them. Easy ordering, but it takes awhile for the returns to get processed through the Italian postal service as well as with them. IF my memory is correct, they include duty in their prices, so you don't have to worry about duty fees - but that only applies to US delivery, I think. On the flip side, when you return, they will charge you for duty, so it will be deducted from your refund AND the Italian postal service is VERY SLOW even when doing expedited service back to them. Thus, they recommend that IF you do return, do it by snail mail. So, this is one possible drawback IF you need funds to process quickly. You can ask the seller lots of questions and they are responsive.

2) Look for Spring/Summer releases for leathers that MAY be a bit thinner AND the blistered leathers are always thinner and have a nice drape. They may be the ones to look for since you're in Florida.

Search around and ask questions. Post photos/links of jackets that appeal to you - people here are quite helpful.

Good luck!

if you didn't already, don't cancel the neimans order until you get the barneys order. barneys online orders only go through maybe 50% of the time if you are lucky.

crossing my fingers for you!

Great suggestion....AND, I was patient and finally nabbed one the other day on super duper sale at Saks..........will give an update later. LOL - why do I do this to myself? I feel like it will be an utter disaster.

Thanks so much! I've been scouring this site the last few days. Once I want something I become obsessed until I get it :) My only problem is being patient for the right one instead of jumping on everything I find.

Glad to know they are legit. I've never had a need to buy out of the country before so I was a little reserved and unsure

You're MOST welcome. I don't know where you are in FL - but if you're near South Beach there's a great retailer called Alchemist on Lincoln Rd. that carries RO. You can check out the leather, the cut AND the sizing to see what works for you.

Hello girls, I m presently in London and was shopping at Selfridges yesterday and found an amazing deal on RO shearling jacket

It is the current season and marked down to £495!!!!

It is size 46... I m size 44 so the shoulder is too big for me and I have to pass.., if anyone in the area is interested... Should go ahead !!

And they also have the silver one with the fur for £985 size 40

Did they come?

Happy New Year everyone!

I realized I never put up pictures of the comb I got from Slovenia -- the horn is gorgeous, almost translucent.

mimi -
What a gorgeous jacket and hopefully it has found a new home - it's so kind of you to post here.

jenskar -
great comb...how about a modeling pic for us? We always love seeing you - literally!

As for the leggings......
I cannot tell you how many times I have cancelled this order, first with NM and her sister, Berg - and low n' behold - they popped up at Saks for LESS $$ and I finally received them yesterday.
They smell divine and are so very beautiful. I quickly put them on. Yes, they actually fit BUT they are at least 6" too long and will need to be altered, if I keep them. I also need to take my time and really review how they fit. There's a diagonal pattern around the knees and I need to see that they actually align with this part of my body. I am so short, that most clothes really don't fit me well. I am also amazed at how the leather stretches. They are beautiful.

Quick question for those that have RO leather pants/leggings......are they hot (literally)? Is this an unwise choice for me - considering I'm still in the throes of hot flashes?

I bit the bullet and purchased the Grey Combat boots that were up at Net-a-porter!

Hi RO lovers! I have been bitten by the RO bug in a major way lately, and was lucky enough to get a few pieces for Xmas. After reading this thread in its entirety and googling about a million pictures of the jackets I decided to go for the classic biker in blister leather as my first- I can't get over the lovely drape and slouch factor and I don't live in a cold climate so I'm hoping the lighter weight leather will mean it gets lots of wear. It should be on its way from NAP soon and I can hardly wait!

dcblam, I also scored a pair of the leggings for a great price and am eagerly awaiting them, although the jury is still out on how they'll look. I'm 5'6" but have a long torso/short legs so I'm worried the seam detail won't hit right and/or they'll be miles too long. Also questioning the heat factor and the practicality of leather leggings for my decidedly non-rockstar lifestyle. I may be the weirdo picking my toddler up from daycare in leather pants and RO wedges. I couldn't resist at least trying them, though; they looked so gorgeous.

So I bought my first RO jacket....

It popped up on ebay, NWT at a great price so I jumped on it without really thinking. I think its the thicker one, and i was looking for the thinner one.
But I dont have a gray jacket and this still leaves room I guess at some point to get the thinner blister jacket :)

This is the link to the ebay listing I bought. Hope it works

OMG - what a great price, a great color and leather! You are going to be so very very pleased. We will await your "report" once it arrives.
Congratulations.
IF my memory is correct, this is NOT the thickest leather for RO jackets and you should be happy with the weight along with the fact that it will wear much longer and nicer then the blistered leathers.

SCORE!!!!!
