thanks i just ordered a blistered leather jacket in a 44 and a 46 just in case --from Bergdorf-so I can return the one that doesnt work.

Just checked out the styles, and unless the model is a stick creature (which is possible) that might even run a bit bigger than most (but maybe not in the shoulders where you need it) so good to try both. I like the pocket -- that's unique.

Also noticed the new moto jacket with patch pocket seems stocked in all sizes in Koolaid

Ugh, I should not have gone near Bergdorf -- they keep sending me promos :(

I want this, or the longer version, in the worst way http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/p/Ri...cat000000cat000002cat000008cat363504cat367200

Also the little ruched back leather dress :(

It’s look-alike to the Bal Moto but according to my SA this RO has a softer leather, longer hem and sleeves. She says it's fit more, the fact it's longer and not as tight at the waist.

All sizes are sold out almost instantly when they went online at DF.

I regret I didn’t make a impromptu decision to order it…

These jackets are still available online, they have them on NAP, The Corner and Farfetch if you are still interested..... :graucho:

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 the size looks good. The main thing is that you can zip it up. They do stretch out about a size so it will get more comfortable. My black one started out like that, I could zip it up but it was very tight and I couldn't get much underneath, but after a few months it stretched so I can get more layers underneath and I think it's the perfect size now.

Also funny to hear people saying they never zip up their jackets, I only wear mine zipped up!

Great comparison, thanks!

cmdfsu said:
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.

I haven't seen this before but I don't have much experience with blistered. Do you think it's from where your handbag rubs?

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 ....

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

I have a strong attraction to these loose knit tops as well. It's not something I would usually wear though so I have held off. But I do think they are cool.

So I did some shopping yesterday.... :graucho:

We started out in the RO shop in Mayfair and as I was browsing, who walks in but..... Gareth Pugh and Michele Lamy!!!! I didn't notice them at first but heard the SAs talking to someone saying 'Oh what have you been doing', they said they had just been to lunch at Scott's (fancy restaurant), then the SA says something about how Rick said this, so my ears perk up and I look over and they are standing there. Then they were talking about how they were going to see Rupert Everett in his new play, etc etc. So that was quite exciting.

So I had a look around, it's always nice to see things in person. The tops like this are so beautiful, I wish I could wear them, but I can't go without a bra sadly.

So I asked them what leather vests they had... they had black and a couple of the lighter colours, but I was looking specifically for grey. She told me they didn't do grey this season, which was strange since Selfridges had a grey one online... love it when the SAs make stuff up.... haha

So we went over to Selfridges and they had the vest on display, I tried it on and loved it so decided to get it. It's gorgeous! This is it:

I'll try to take some pics soon. I hope the silk lining will be ok and not too delicate. I wasn't sure at first about the purple tinge to the lining but then realised it was quite nice to have a bit of colour sitting next to your skin like that, it's more flattering than a straight grey I think.

It's still sitting in the Selfridges bag, I am a bit scared to take it out... haha.

And I blame all of this on mimi_glasshouse!!!!

I was going to ask too if anyone can describe Koolaid, looks like a taupey brown, not too light but not too brown either.

bergdorf has a jacket I've wanted for a while in koolaid, never thought about getting it in anything other than black but then again it is really similar to a black jacket I already have so might be worth considering another color.

either way I'm going to have to hold out and pray it goes on sale. been waaaaay too spendy lately. :nogood:

I've only just realised a minute ago that the vest I just bought is Kool Aid, I took it out of the bag and had a look at the tags. So my description of it would be a mid-dark grey with a hint of purple in it. I wouldn't say there is much brown in it, maybe a touch. It is basically just grey. Here are some Google images:

DNA dust is much more brown/taupe:

super super helpful, thanks for that. I like that hint of purple a lot. I'm starting to think the jacket I got this winter may also be koolaid.

now to cross my fingers that the jacket I want makes it to sale. :D

No problem. I like the hint of purple too, I think it makes it a bit more flattering than just a standard grey.

Definitely fingers crossed! Which jacket is it?

I'm not saying. people get ideas when you post things in this forum and buy what I want! don't want to make it look appealing and covetable until it's in my sweet hands. ;)
