hoodie arrived today! it's huge and unwieldy but i do love it, i'm wondering if i should belt it :thinkin:i think it is a keeper though since i would kind of like a fur jacket but i'm not sure i would wear it that often if i only had the fur side out option so this seems like a really good alternative to something like that. i'm glad i went for the xs, it might have been overwhelming in a bigger size. tags still on, please enable :p

i LOVE it with the fur out (last pic) but either way, it's got to be totally warm and cosy. since it's a 'hoodie' style, a belt might not be the best thing for the line. better with the skinny bottoms and elongating boots like you've got it.

...and, totally want it for myself :loveeyes:

i was really just thinking to keep it closed, i've kind of given up on the belt idea :smile1:

get it :graucho: with the extra 20% off sale code it's waaay more reasonable! i wanted it for ages but thought it was too expensive but pounced as soon as i saw the code ;)

my shearling is a 42 but i could do with a 40 really, and my older jackets are 44s but altered because i've lost weight since i bought all of them. i wear a 36 in bal motos, and i have a couple of 38s that i can layer with :smile1:

thanks! so now in my imaginary life in which I order that jacket I know I could fit an xs as well. kinda wish you had said otherwise to be honest! :laugh:

meanwhile my jacket from yoox is sitting in seacaucus and won't be here till thursday. sigh, I understand holidays but three days to go over a bridge is a bit excessive. I'm just too curious to see the color, I wanna know now!!!

Ladies, 1st of all... Happy New Year!!

Some quick feedback on the repair .... Neiman alteration department did a great job!! I am very happy that the lady was able to save my jacket (please refer to 3rd photo)! :D

1st picture is "before" and 3rd picture is "after" being repaired.

:cry:Please help!! I just found a rip under the right armpit of my RO jacket (2 years old jacket, less than 10 wearing). Is this normal? Can it be repaired? This jacket is size 42 and I had no problem with my black size 38....

I plan on taking it back to my local NM where I bought it from originally to have it fixed. I am not sure how good of job they can do to this type of tear. Thank you for your kind advise.

Looks great! I know what you mean about wanting to keep it closed, I think hook and eye would be a good solution.

Hello Ladies…..
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your loved ones. Hope 2014 is an outstanding year for everyone!

Glad to see that it's been positive news for tonkamama for the repairs and mundodabolsa that your YOOX purchase is sublime. annanas - your jacket is quite a beauty and it looks FANTASTIC on you.

So, I need to give you guys an update on my purchases:

I did get this Clean Biker jacket from Forward, http://www.forwardforward.com/fw/DisplayProduct.jsp?code=RICK-WO39

It's from S/S Island 2013 and has a half lining inside and the leather is lightweight, thin and kinda feels like plastic. I am not crazy about the leather. Also, the 44 is a bit too big around the body, but feels right in upper arm area, but the sleeves are uber uber too long. Thus, this is my dilemma with this style of jacket. The CLEAN cut is a bit different in the back as well. There's a bit of a princess seam in the back and the placement is awkward on me since I'm short-waisted. It's like the jacket juts out a bit when not zipped and it looks a bit funny.
So, for many reasons, this jacket is going back.

BUT - I ordered this AM from NM (which price matched what was on BG's site) another Kool-Aid colored jacket, different style. Maybe this one will work for me? Size 42, my normal size. Has anyone seen or have this style jacket?? I think it's called Short Stooges?

Best to all…...

Just want to say that I also ordered the clean leather jacket, from SSENSE though. Totally agree with you that the leather doesn't wow me at all as it has the plastic feel to it. It is also my 1st time ordering a RO jacket online, based on online research i ordered size 40 as i am usually a US 2/xs-s. The size 40 feels toooo small around the shoulder and sleeves. Since i am a week away from my due date i couldn't try the body part but i compared it with my 3 other tight fitting leather jackets from Vince (size xs), Isabel marant (kady in size 36) and the RO was cut much smaller around the bust area. So it is going back unfortunately.

The hunt for the right RO jacket continues...

Lolali -
Congrats on your baby!!! So, how are you doing?????
Thanks for chiming in about your experience with RO and comparing it to others - I think this helps everyone. It appears that we BOTH have issues with RO fit. My other RO jackets are sized all over the place, from a 40 (Sailbiker), 42 (Classic Biker) to a 44 (Waxed Cotton with Blistered leather arms). For me, it depends on the leather and the style. So, I'll let you know how this Stooge leather fits in a size 42.
FWIW, my Vince paperleather is an XS and fits so nicely, though the leather has worn a bit too much with very little wear. Wish I could find this cut/style in a nicer leather.

Congrats on getting that gorgeous fur jacket. ENVY :graucho:.
