AND -

on a separate note.......I saw the Sailbiker version of the classic biker at a boutique yesterday and I feel in love with the shape and profile. Just ordered from NAP at 50% off, don't know if it will be the same color as the Dust that I saw. NAP states it as Anthracite and upon calling NAP, they didn't have any info on the actual tag.

Here's the scoop on the fit: boxy, like a wider cut dolman sleeve. Leaves plenty of room underneath for added clothing. Only restriction - the sleeves from the wrist to the elbow, same fit as the classic biker.
Leather - it's soft lamb, not a true "blister" look. Drapes beautifully. Jacket looks great zipped and unzipped.
Very different silouette (sp) - but still in the family, so to speak.

The pictures on NAP don't do it justice - it just looks pretty blah and shapeless. The photos on Forward by Elyse Walker - much better.

Hope this helps someone.

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!!!!!

Yay, I'm feeling much better now at my rush purchase. I just saw the size and color and bought it really quick and than afterwards was wondering if it was the thicker one. So I'm glad to hear what you said, also i am tall as well so its nice to hear that it wears longer.

Ive been seeing that sail jacket too and was wondering about it cause it did kinda look shapeless...so i'm excited to see what its like IRL. Post pics when you get it :)

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!

Hey there...
I have to laugh cuz what I meant by "wears longer" is the life of the jacket, and not the length! The beauty of language, yes? LOL.

GREAT score. Wish I could wear the classic wedge, no more heels for me unless there's a substantial platform. Am totally admiring those combat boots as well.

Hello there... The wedge for this season is surprisingly comfortable... The platform is app 1.5" and the slope is less than 3"...

I m size 40... So lucky they have my size in both styles... Just the combat boots comes with very round toe style and size 40 turns a bit big without insole ... But for a price tag of $405 b4 tax... Do you think I should simply bite the bullet !?

Thanks for the info - even a 3" heel is a bit much for me nowadays, thus my attraction to the boots.
I just got the combat boots and quickly tried them on. Got a size 6 and I normally wear a 6.5 or 7 and they fit well. I would be swimming in my normal size, similar to what you experienced with the boot you pictured. Hmmm, I normally do not like to wear insoles in my shoes. What does your gut tell you about the black boot? Is it the price point that's making you think twice??

I bought this jacket a little while ago
http://www.barneys.com/Rick-Owens-Shearling-Moto-Jacket/501381946,default,pd.html

But I am currently 38 weeks pregnant, so I am waiting to model it for you all after the baby is out! I was worried because I heard RO runs small (I got it in 38), but it still fits w/ my pregnant fat, although the typical arm/armpit area is a little tight (i'm told this are stretches out the most)... anyway, so I think it will fit perfectly once the swelling and weight goes down!

So here's the Sailbiker jacket in Dark Dust. Size is 42. It's a semi-blistered leather. Great drape, weight and I think it's a keeper. Wonder if I could have sized down, but an always fearful of the arms being too tight.
Along with the jacket, here are the combat boots in Grey
Looks a bit comical with all of the NAP tags
Are both keepers?

I apologize for such crappy pics. I really don't have the patience to take photos.
Hope this helps someone.

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.

Wanted to give you an update on the leggings - bottom line - they are on their way back to Saks.
I played with them for a bit and came to the conclusion that I will never feel confident wearing them. The diagonal leather panels did not line-up with my knees and honestly, my body type is NOT the best for leggings. As for the length - YOU CAN CUT it yourself! REALLY.

FWIW - when I went to the local boutique that carries RO, the owner mentioned that she regularly cuts RO items for clients - when the garment has a raw edge. Go figure. So - these leggings have a raw edge, so cut away with confidence. Just be sure to leave some "scrunch" at the bottom.
And please, be the person who picks up her child at daycare with leather pants. You will so inspire others!!!! We all are rock stars, we have our rock moves for sure :p (inspired by PINK, of course).
