Nice, have you figured out a way to wear it?

clarkda said:
I decided to update some of these and add a few extra, maybe others have more to add?

LB: blistered lamb Rougher textured blistered leather. Very very drapey with varying degrees of softness and texture often with some glimmer to the leather when it hits the light due to the texture.Summer weight of this leather is usually very light and drapey. Winter weight can be thicker and more substantial.
LBO: box/-ed calf
LC: washed lamb (not confirmed) The softest most drapey blistered/crushed lambskin. Smoother texture than LB but definitely feels crushed and highly distressed to a fine soft version of LB
LF: fading/-ed (gradient) lamb
LG: full grain lamb (not confirmed?) Full grain distressed but not blistered lambskin with alot of graining and texture to the thick leather (no texture peeling away or broken). "chewy" leather would be my best description.
LG: washed lamb (not confirmed)
LK: kangaroo
LKG: kangaroo (washed / full grain ?)
LM: metallic calf I had a metallic lamb with this code but oddly, had a lamb and shearling jacket with this code as well
LO: oiled calf
LP: hammered lamb
LS: silky lamb- Super smooth fine grain lamb. No notable texture.
LSH: shearling lamb


LR: 'regular' lamb?
LVS: Textured Calf Leather

LZ: ?
LV: vegetable dyed lamb ? Very similar to LS IMO. Very smooth and supple with little to no texture.
LGAO - 'giove lamb' / oiled calf ?
COM: from archives it looks like a two-tone blistered treatmet (combined with fabric) ?

LCE- washed lamb metallic/pearlized?

DT: Tweed, Rayon, wool, nylon, spandex .
BWM: Mohair, Nylon, Wool.
OC: Cotton, Polyurethane.
TD: Cashmere
FCWL: Painted cotton
NLBM: Metallic blistered lamb and wool flannel
C: Alligator
LE: Washed and Aged (antiqued) calf leather.
LNB: Blistered and Waxed lamb (thick, heavy, backed in polyurethane)
LSN: Water snake

Thanks for the update. Only thing I would say is that I have an LC and it's not blistered/crushed or particularly drapey, it's smooth, has a bit of graining and is medium thickness. It's quite perfect in my opinion, it looks so lush and beautiful. And smells amazing! I've been noticing since I bought it that it seems to have cost about £400 more than the usual basic biker, so I'm thinking the quality of the LC is a bit higher.

Do you ladies recommend I take it somewhere to get treated or is it okay the way it is? I honestly have never put anything in my leather bags or shoes but I saw a previous post about protecting leather jackets so wasn't sure if its necessary!

What a great find! I protect all my leather things with spray weather protector, not particularly for water or rain, but more in case of accidents, for example you're in a bar and someone spills a bit of a drink on it, or something like that. If it's sprayed you can just wipe things off of it with a damp cloth and it doesn't stain it. Spraying the leather doesn't change it in any way so I figure why not, better safe than sorry. It doesn't matter so much for black, mainly the other colours.

I thought I got a great deal until I saw Jen123's! Great shopping!!! I need to hit up Nordstrom's Rack more often! My first Rick Owens. I think some of you have this one. It's Dust. Can you tell me what year and collection it's from? I absolutely love this jacket and was amazed to find it in such a big size. Lol. I didn't take a pic of it zipped up but it fits perfectly. Yay! I was worried because I am NOT skinny.

Congratulations on your new boots. I absolutely love them! They look wonderful on you.

Those just happens to be on my FW list. May I ask if they fit true to size and if they are narrow? TIA!

Has anyone seen this dress anywhere else (different color are ok too)? I think it's from a previous season but sadly I wasn't quick enough. Looking for a 44 please! Thanks so much!! http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/373203

thanks poptarts!

i have worn them several times since i got them and they are great! They are lightweight and very blocky, and it feels like you must lift your feet well when you wear them, so I refer to them as my 'pony' boots.

i had gotten feedback that the basic wedge (110mm) could be different sizing from season to season, but i got these off eBay and the seller told me they ran true to size. and these definitely do! i don't have a wide foot, but rather an average one and they fit perfectly, actually pretty comfortable for the height - the wooden wedge is very 'hard' though (as all wood clogs/shoes are) so I am investigating using a thin insole for the ball of the foot. i have gotten a tender spot on the ball of the foot by the big toe from wearing them today, but there has been no pinching so I suspect they don't run too narrow.

How do you guys take care of your rick owens jackets?

I have a lamb shearling (that I LOVE and wear 9 months out of the year) and small bits of it is like coming out at the sleeves. It's like washed leather, not super distressed to begin with which is how I'd like to keep it.

How can I keep it looking fresh (but not, you know shiny and new)?

my suggestion is maybe leather moisturiser and conditioner, it should refresh the jacket but not so much as to make it look new.
i just took my sable jacket in to get re oiled and the furrier put conditioner on the lamb sleeves and told me not to let them get dry...

new rick owens, its interesting and very street compared to the ethereal collections of late.

When I first looked at the pictures I was thinking ummm what is this??? but when you see the video of it, WOW! What a great show! Only problem is the clothes might have taken a bit of a back seat, but really, what do these shows matter anyways, what actually goes on sale is pretty different to what is shown.

Here is the video:

I agree with leather conditioner, my LG was getting so dry looking and I was a bit scared to condition it, but it came out looking amazing. Just like it was alive again, not shiny and new.

What do you mean by bits coming out at the sleeves?

i third the use of leather conditioner - one brand which many agree works well with many different types of finer leathers is Apple Conditioner - i've seen it recommended on the Balenciaga and Louboutin forums. it doesn't seem to stain or leave any sticky residue. i've used it myself successfully on handbags, shoes, and jackets. and yes, i did use it on an older RO jacket that has a crepey, lightly distressed but not suede finish because it was starting to feel dry - it really helped freshen it up.

i'm not sure if the clothes look as we imagine them in stills ( i am the first to admit i have a sense of how clothing should 'look' in a fashion image) but when i saw them in action, I was STUNNED!

What genius - the clothes really move and i especially like the use of such unusual for fashion body shapes!
