So I got another RO gem. Not totally sure how I feel about it but I got a good deal on it at a consignment shop and bought it online without knowing the size hoping it would be more forgiving without worrying about sleeve length. Its drapey and very soft.. almost feels between fabric and suede. Is this how the summer jackets are?

Well tell me what you think. I don't love it but don't hate it either

It's a TOTAL keeper for many reasons:
1) it's the perfect layering piece that will give you a put together look
2) it's a neutral color
3) it's a weight and style that will give YOU, a Floridian, the most use out of any RO leather item.
4) and there are NO worries relative to sleeve length OR jacket length, my tall friend.

VOILA....PERFECT!

Yes, this is an example of a summer weight RO leather. His leathers are all over the place for every season. Don't limit yourself with just tops with sleeves, wear it over a tank for another great look.

I am a TOTAL fan of you keeping this, but you are the best judge to assess if it's something you will wear....often (oh yes, please!). :D

Thanks amacasa and dcblam.

I do like it a lot. It got mixed reviews from some people so it made me start questioning it. So I appreciate your feedback and just wanted to make sure I can pull it off :)

I also like this jacket. But yeah I agree that I would be worried about sending a jacket that is part leather to a dry cleaner, you'd have to find a specialist cleaner that would probably be expensive. And the cream bit could get dirty. Another option is that there is a version of the jacket with black instead of cream, maybe that version is on sale somewhere?

I don't think I ever thanked you two for your help and opinion, so thanks! I ended up passing and spending my $$ on this instead:

http://www.thecorner.com/us/women/leather-outerwear_cod59130958xp.html

don't need it in the slightest, already have two RO jackets in a a light grey/khaki color, but I want it.

I also decided to order it in a size larger than all my other jackets. it's probably the opposite of what I needed to do with this style and material but someone I think a little baggier will work with the style, more parka-like. we (or rather, I) shall see.

I think the size down would be fine on you then if you can fit a sweater under the one you've got.

These are the measurements for the blistered jacket on NAP. The sleeve length is basically the same through all the sizes. I'm sure all the jackets are like this.

Size Length Bust Shoulder Sleeve Waist Sleeve Opening
38 19 30 13 24 29 8
40 19.5 30.5 13.5 24 30 8
42 20 32.5 14 24 31.5 8.5
44 20.5 33 14 24.5 32.5 8.5
46 21.5 34.5 14.5 24.5 34 9.5
48 22 35.5 15 24.5 34.5 9.5


Oops that isn't coming out too well but you can figure it out!! There is only half an inch difference from the 48 to 38.

I can attest to the thinner leathers stretching a bit and that is so interesting about the measurements -- I'm definitely going to size down next time as the 42 and 44 are so similar where it matters for me (across the back/shoulders), and my 44's are both loosening up now

My first ever Rick was a denim exploder, and those leather sleeves have really not loosened up much at all ...

Ohhhhhhhhh (in a good way) I really like that! I want to see pics when you get it.

I had tried that style in one of the other cloth/leather sleeve combos and it did not work for me (darn shoulders again) and it broke my heart. I would definitely think bigger would be better ...

It's a lovely cut, I like how the front and back of the jacket are so different. Do let us know how sizing larger worked for you. The leather looks just like the Dark Dust Sailbiker jacket that I just got. Nice weight and love the variation in the leather.

A new Rick bag -- I've written for the dimensions -- this link is to one advertised for guys -- the dark dust color in their women's section is pretty amazing
Just can't tell if it's the size of a small suitcase or what.

OOH, nice. I especially like the shape of the bag as well as the longer shoulder drop. Do let us know about the size - it's well proportioned.


On another note - addressing all of you savvy shoppers......
Just placed an order on the UK NAP site and it went through. Paid for international shipping. My credit card does not charge for currency conversion. The receipt lists duty as being paid. Are there any other "costs" that I need to be aware of? Should it be smooth sailing or should I anticipate any glitches? TIA.

It'll be smooth sailing, don't worry about it.
