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…...

UPDATING INFO:

FWIW, here's the CODE to the CLEAN BIKER S/S Island 2013 jacket:

RP7727 SLV (leather)

and totally agree with what has been written (LV) that this leather is ultra smooth without any texture/character. Quite sleek.

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:.

I have admired this one for a long time haha. My justification was that the regular shearling isn't warm enough although it doesn't get that cold here in California most of the time. And I didn't buy the Sandro jacket I had on my wish list (similar to some other coats I own)

Got the Stooges jacket in Kool-aid and it's going back. Here are my thoughts on this jacket:

ImageUploadedByPurseForum1389311295.611233.jpg

I found the cut to be more narrow in the shoulder and chest areas then the classic biker style. The arm length was longer compared to my classic. It really looked pretty boxy and dreadful on me, so you'll get no pics of this unsightly sight!

ImageUploadedByPurseForum1389311522.019615.jpg

It's calf leather and is mid weight and not terribly soft. Because of how this leather was treated, there's an ash like look to the Kool Aid color that I am not a fan of, per this pic:

So, we r back on the hunt for another Kool Aid piece.

Hope this helps someone.
Be well and Happy New Year!

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

Annanas, the hoodie looks great on you! What size did you get again? I bought this last year (lord it is not a cheap thing -- I had discount code for LVR but still) and felt I could have sized down on it. Chloe bought one too then. I think they're better priced now, for sure.

dc looked all over for me for gauntlet gloves, because for me it's the thin arms that make me cold, the fur is so warm I don't mind that it's open. have taken to wearing a very thin Rick cashmere sweater under it to warm up the arms.

There are pics of Chloe belting hers, btw -- I'm not a belt gal

And, last tip I can think of, do bunch the hood up in the back, I find it hangs better on my shoulders. When they styled it for photos the tied it up high across the chest above the breasts and let it bloom out at the bottom

I figure if the end of the world ever comes, this is the jacket I'll take with me into nuclear winter

I quite like the navy leather jackets, I've always had a thing for navy. Though the blistered version looks a bit too denim-y.

Shame... that colour does not look like Kool Aid at all to me... hope you find something better.
