a bronze like this 09 vest
http://www.lyst.com/clothing/rick-owens-bronze-sleeveless-leather-biker-jacket-gold/

could be very chic.

im guessing your green is scarabe, which is an amazing colour, and has some lustre also.... unless the blistered lamb doesn't show it

oh yes - that WOULD be lovely :)

My green is not scarabe, it's waxed cotton. Here it is:

It's such a unique piece, so it doesn't get much wear. Plus, it's not the most flattering for my shape, but heck - I love the cut :p

Well it came, and it doesn't fit :( It's an XS and is actually too big. The sizes are so weird sometimes. It was sort of ok around the chest but then baggy around my waist. The laddering effect was quite cool, though I probably would have been worried that I would get it caught on things. I didn't take a pic as it looked kind of silly on. haha

Oh well at least that £350 goes back in my wallet!!!

Oh well indeed.....$$ for another fab item in your future :p

FANTASTIC!!!
So, tell us, is the color Dark Dust???? I can tell that it's the drape you've been looking for....YEAH!!!

Thanks! Yes its called "dust". I fell in love with it right away...not just "like" like my first RO in LG leather.

I think a bronze or gray metallic would look great with muted colors and add a little something to blacks/browns and grays. Not sure what platinum would look like though...I cant think of what color it would be (like a gold for platinum blonde or silver like a platinum ring? lol)

I like the one clarkda posted and also
think a metallic grey would be good in your wardrobe. The platinum might be too blingy?

I've been thinking of a vest myself, this is going to sound dumb but I didn't really think of them as being worn zipped all the way up with the collar all scrunched around your neck, I saw a photo of that recently with a black blistered and thought it looked great. I didn't realise they would sit like that. Though I am still not sure what I would wear it over, it always looks good with something sleeveless underneath but can you wear them over sleeves? I guess long sleeved things would look ok but short sleeves? What do you guys think? For those of you that have them how do you wear them?

Yes indeed - for those that have the vest, how do you wear it?
I would think that it would look great with almost everything - no sleeves and sleeves. I've looked at some RO blog pics and find that there's a lot of layering that goes on with items I would never think to pair together (ex. a tank over a long sleeve shirt).

As for wearing it all zipped up - I suppose it will depend on how stiff the leather is.....I can totally see blistered leather being soft enough.

I hope it will fit, so excited :yahoo:I am very curious how this metallic leather looks IRL, anyone owns it?

minh -
congrats and please do post when you get your lovely new RO. Can you also be sure to let us know the color and the leather code/type that's on the tag?
We try to keep tabs on all of the leathers out there...... :p

I'm really liking the bronze now after seeing that pick. Such a great neutral color as well. I have a vest...but its too small to be zipped up. Ive only worn it once over a long shirt cause it was cold. I'm gonna have to google how other people style it with tanks and stuff. I love the layered look and seeing what other people do with it

^^Yes indeed, liking the bronze......and you were the one that inspired me to look at the vests/gillets. I'm finding that layering is the key to my monochromatic clothing life. A bit tricky for you in FL - but totally workable.

Here's a blog from the store called Worthwhile in Charleston, SC. Nice inspiration and some very good detail shots of the clothing.

Enjoy.

I dont wear my vest often, but i usually go very neutral with it, black grey or white, i never wear it zipped as its tight over my pecs. Its just a cool layering piece.

Just a random question but what other brands do you guys love? Personally i love similar brands like ann demuelemeester, julius, damir doma etc but i also go completely different like i also love missoni, chanel (when i can find mens pieces), gucci and valentino.

I will answer based on what is in my closet, not the items that are a part of my fantasy wardrobe - LOL!

The only other brand that I'm totally smitten with - and it's almost a part of my everyday wardrobe is a brand called Inhabit. They are staple items, nicely cut with lovely fabrics.
They have such fantastic sales, but most of them are FINAL SALE if you're not paying full retail. BUT, they ship internationally, I believe.

clarkda - are you stateside or across the pond????
