Haha this is totally me (well not quite as bad). I have 6 leather jackets living in florida and I keep having to invent reasons to wear them. But thats why I love RO so much, its thin enough to pass off as a cardigan for wearing in airconditioning in the summer :)

Well - here it is - my first RO jacket. I love the leather and the colour, but I'm afraid it might be too small. When I zip it up I can barely breathe, there's no chance to wear anything else but a tshirt underneath. I read these jackets tend to stretch a lot, but how about metallised leather? Please help!

I think it looks awesome! I honestly have never zipped up any of my leather jackets but I'm sure it will stretch out some

And also heres a pic of my LB with the question I posted before. Is this normal? It wasn't like this when I got it and I know its supposed to be a blistered/distressed jacket but this doesn't seem like it. These spots feel more leather like...almost like the blistered cloth like coating is rubbing off. Its happening at both my shoulders. It doesn't bother me that much but just wanted to see if anyone else had this.

reminds me of my favorite guest house in Provincetown, where they have central air and fireplaces and the host shows you all the controls and then says "of course it's so nice to have a fire when you're lying in bed, even in the summer, but it may get warm, so that's why you have the air conditioner ..."

oooooo very very nice

clarkda, what kind of work do you do that you're doing it at 1:10 in the morning? if you don't mind my asking ....

I will take a picture of my husband in his jacket when it comes ...

In the meantime, the two of us, on the subway, in NY last winter, in various Rick leathers and hoodies ...

Lush.
Thanks SO much for sharing.....

it's the most amazing fur, light, but warm and soft and luxurious. my grandmother used to have a sable blanket on her bed (she lives in europe) and i remember as a child thinking it was the most amazing thing ever to be wrapped in.

Rick Owens size advice: I am a size 6/8 but with broad shoulder and long arms. I oftte wear a size 10 jacket for comfort. Would I wear a 44 or a 46 in RO?
Click to expand...
I would try a 44 as the leather does stretch over time -- can you order from somewhere where you can return it if it doesn't work? The lamb is the most forgiving for stretch, calf leather, not so much.
I also find that almost any sleeve that is leather and cloth/denim is cut tighter than the leather and stretchy stuff he uses for most of the leather jackets in the arms. There was an angora and leather sleeve sweater last year that I ordered in every possible size -- it was just cut way too tight in the arms.
