for those of you wondering what I got... see below :p

I pretty much got three versions of this jacket. black leather, black wool, and a grey suede. so unnecessary but this shape of jacket is pretty much all I feel like wearing this fall/winter. I've been wearing big, baggy clothing for many seasons and all of a sudden am longing for fitted things like shorter jackets.



I just got this jacket this week and know exactly what you mean about the puckering in the back. I got it at first in a 38, one size down from my regular, and the poof was really pronounced. I almost felt like it seemed like the jacket had been stored in a way that something was pushing the leather out at that spot and distorted it.

but then I got one in my regular size, and it's much better. there is still a slight poof but not enough to make me not want the jacket. I'm keeping it, and if you are still considering it weeks from now ask me if it's improved with wear. I haven't worn it yet but I feel like the poof may settle a little as it gets worn in.

Sorry to be bringing up a post from last year but just wanted to ask how you're enjoying this jacket? Is the poof in the back smaller or bigger after being worn? Thanks!

Also, do the extra long sleeves on the leather jackets bother anyone? Or do you forget they're extra long when you're wearing them? I'm seriously considering an RO leather jacket but its not the really thin lambskin and I'm worried the super long (and tight) sleeves might be annoying or uncomfortable...but I sure do love the look!

Thanks!

the sleeves are super comfortable, i have two jackets with lamb and two with calf and both, with the elasticated ribbing, (i dont like the non-elasticated sleeves as much) are really good to wear, you may find they come over your hands a bit...

Hello ALL -
The extra long sleeves do not bother me at all and believe me, they are extra extra long on me since I'm on the petite side.
I have both types of leather (thin/thick lamb) in the long sleeve and the tightness does subside with wear. AND, you also get used to the fact that sleeves are on the longer side.
So, what jacket is on your radar screen?

HI! I've been lemming for a Rick Owens biker jacket for years now and I'm finally taking the plunge. I'm really confused about the types of leathers available though. I'm tossing up between (what the website lists as) calf leather and blistered lamb.

http://www.luisaviaroma.com/index.aspx?#ItemSrv.ashx|SeasonId=55I&CollectionId=ACG&ItemId=2&VendorColorId=MDAwOQ==&SeasonMemoCode=actual&GenderMemoCode=women&CategoryId=41&SubLineMemoCode=clothing

http://www.luisaviaroma.com/index.aspx?#ItemSrv.ashx|SeasonId=55I&CollectionId=ACG&ItemId=20&VendorColorId=MDAwOQ==&SeasonMemoCode=actual&GenderMemoCode=women&Language=&CountryId=&SubLineMemoCode=clothing&CategoryId=41&ItemResponse=&MenuResponse=&SizeChart=false&ItemTag=true

I'm looking for something that's warm and relatively windproof. I'll be living in Melbourne for the next three years so the winters will be cold (maybe around 10 degrees celcius give or take a few degrees most of the time) but nothing like New York or Chicago so I'm hoping that the leather jacket will take care of most of my cold weather needs and anything more extreme will be covered by my North Face jacket.

I've learnt over the years that PF members are amazingly knowledgeable, many times more so than actual product advisors/salespeople so I'm posting here to ask for some input. Please help! :flowers: And thanks in advance! :) <3

Thank you for your reply! I like the comfort and look of the elasticized part in the underarm area. So glad to hear it doesn't get annoying. everything RO comes over my hands, haha.

I think both of those are about the same thickness, they are both on the thinner side of the leathers. You'd probably want something a bit more substantial if you're looking for warmth. Maybe post a few more and we can tell you which are the thicker ones? Or there is one that has just come into the shops, it is quite thick, not a leather I've seen before. It'd keep you warm. It's this:

So far I've only seen it in grey though.

Does anybody know anything about the "new blister" jackets? I saw one in person the other day, and the "new blister" feels very soft, more like suede. Are all the blistered jackets from now on the "new blistered"?? does anybody know?
Click to expand...

Not sure about 'new blistered', but this season I have seen an actual suede biker, maybe that is it?

Here it is:

Just noticed it is actually quite a good price. Wonder why it is so much less than the others.
