Now to the bag! I've uploaded a group of photos to Flickr -- and it is definitely growing on me. And I think it will definitely soften up -- everyone is right on about it needing to be stiffer to hold the shape. If anything -- I think it was going to be hard for me to find a bag that would replace the Beguelin -- it became like a uniform and you know how that goes. I bet the dust colored one is gorgeous with the variation in tone. Let me all know what you think!

I think it's a beauty! The shape is unique, but more so, is the way they have attached and designed the straps to the bag. I love that there's no/minimal hardware shown. Very sculptural and in this way, quite RO in look, yes? The double zip on the top makes it so easy to get in/out of.....it's a keeper for sure. AND, you mentioned it's easy on the shoulder?
 
So I would love a jacket like:
Page 1, post #1 (black)
Page 3, post 46 (metallic dust)
Page 13, post 181 (black)
Page 20, post 292 (black)

So these are the leathers I'm looking for, does anyone know what they are or what code I should narrow it down to? There is also a green metallic one on eBay, I think its called scarab but I like the look of that as well its just too small

You're very welcome for the help! post 45, 181 and 292 all look like LB, whereas post 1 is.... LG!! This is the same jacket as mine, same season, same store ;).

I like it! Very classy :yes:

Honey, you are NOT being a PITA.

From your photos, IMO, the vest is blistered lamb....code LB.
So, now you know that LB is the look/drape that you want........ ;)

Agreed!

Haha is it an LG? It looks softer and drapier than mine...

Well at least I know now what to look for thanks to all you ladies. I just got to find one at a good price. Since I already have one I'm not as impatient to get one right away, this way I can wait for the perfect one!
 


So, it arrived. It took about 3 minutes to make a decision that it's going back to Saks. I love the style, but it's cut too big for me and it makes me look like a monk. What I don't get is the thin, cotton belt - similar to shoe string - that will deteriorate quickly. For the full retail price point, it should be much more substantial. AND, when I cinched the tie, it was hard to raise my arms up above my head. Weird cut. Oh well.

Be well all - enjoy the long Holiday weekend if you are Stateside :smile1:
 
Ladies I just want to tell you how much I appreciate everybodys help in trying to find my perfect jacket. All these dang different leathers are so confusing!

When I got my LG it took me forever to find those tags... after 30 minutes I finally found those pockets but my vest does not have a tag in those inside pockets. I don't know why anyone would cut the tag out, it's not like it gets in the way... but I will post some pics of my vest and see if you guys can tell what leather it is. It feels like a cross between cloth and suede.

I can totally understand why people like the leather feel more and not the cloth type. I just have enough leather jackets especially since I'm most likely gonna keep the LG ;) and want a cardigan feel for summer months. I always bring a cardigan everywhere I go like movies and dinner so I would love a kick *** RO for year round use

I broke my computer a while ago and since I spend all my discretionary income on leather jackets even though I live in the hottest state I'm doing this all on my phone lol so I can't cut and paste links but I can tell you the pages where I found what I want.

So I would love a jacket like:
Page 1, post #1 (black)
Page 3, post 46 (metallic dust)
Page 13, post 181 (black)

I'm sorry if I'm being a PITA but I really thank you guys and so appreciate your help!!

Since the metallic dust on page 3 is mine, I can let you know that the code is LPE. It's not on the list, right? I am guessing it's pearlized lamb. It is unbelievably soft and drapey.
 
I also have a black shearling (LSHH), black blistered (LB), black washed(?)(This is an older jacket. The same one the Olsens had with the snaps on the shoulder/collar, with the flannel lining) (LP), grained lamb (LG) and 2 others on the way (metallic scarab and metallic gold) that I will post the codes for when they arrive. (Then I am banned from RO jackets!)
