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:

Sorry it didn't work out.

I've been seeing some LBs pop up. You bought from bladerunner right?
If I ended up getting it and liking it, I think I will end up selling my LP. I like it, just don't love it and go to my bals when I need a heavier jacket. So you were all right. Way to expensive to just be sitting in my closet

^^Yes, I did purchase from bladerunner - and returned as well. They were most helpful via email, so feel free to ask questions. The only caution, if you return an item, is that duty will be deducted from the return. It takes a bit to process the mail in Italy, so getting a credit from the seller takes some time.

So, what are you eyeing?????

There's a gray LB on there right now in my size. It has a very low starting price and a lot of bids already so who know if I can get it. But if by some chance I did, I would really need to sell the other one cause I don't need two in the same gray color family.

Saw this on outnet this morning and was wondering if anyone tried it one in person? How's the fit? Does the front stay open?

I've never tried the leather mix, but I have tried the canvas. There's literally no drape in that one as it feels more of a down puffer jacket. Considering this one does have leather, I'm sure it would wear differently. All in all I wasn't too fond of the canvas one as I think I'd prefer the leather mix (my assumption of how it'd wear). I just think the leather jacket is beautiful and gives it a more sleek, polished finish. I would just hope for the collar to stand upwards. Considering there's leather and felt as the collar - it may not half the ability to volumize as the canvas did.

Haha definitely only room for one!

What do you think about the pearl color? Its pretty and would go with a lot just nervous about the "dirty" factor

Simple:
IF you are nervous about the dirty thing - pass. You won't wear it. The point of getting a thinner RO is to wear it more often in FL. I like the idea of a lighter color for your locale - but do you naturally gravitate to lighter colored outerwear?

What color do you WANT?

FWIW - one of the reasons I love my brown Resin jacket is that I don't care if it gets banged up. Actually, it will look better with wear.

Hope this helps.......and maybe someone with the Pearl will chime in....

Thanks as always for your opinion and help :)

I like the color cause its nothing like I have and like u said its a nice light color for Florida. I just hate having to baby things and worry if I mess it up. Hopefully someone has one here and can tell me how it wears.

I don't really have a preference... just want it to be a color that goes with a lot.

Leather code on the metallic gold leather jacket from Mountain F/W '12 is LBM.

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!)

I do believe we need some modeling shots of your fabulous RO jackets? Or am I clueless and you've previously posted?

Thanks for the info/code on the metallic leather. Is it soft and drapey?
Click to expand...

I have posted shots of the metallic (pearlized) silver (on page 3, I think) and somewhere on the forum I posted a shot of the shearling (maybe in a leather leggings thread?), but I don't have the best lighting in my house for modeling shots. I do, however, think it's time to post shots of the jackets, since I am banned from RO jackets. (At least until I can find and afford a gator classic biker which is my UHG. A girl can dream, right?)

The metallic gold is not soft/drapey due to the metallic coating, which makes it stiffer and more rigid, but I love it. The color is a gorgeous pale gold and not yellow or garish. I think it will look even cooler with tons of wear, which I imagine will make the gold coating crack and flake and give the jacket that cool "destroyed" look. (Maybe not everyone's bag, but I think Rick would approve.) ;)
