I've got a new code for the collection (unless I'm just blind), LTOQ, too bad I have no idea what it stands for.
It's a princess cut jacket from the Mountain F/W 12 collection, color DNA Dust. It's one of my favorite leathers of all my jackets, it's super soft and really pebbly and blistered but also super smooth, not that blistered type that becomes almost nubuck suede. It's like butter.
This DNA dust version is a light taupe.

If you could upload pics of the jacket and tags it would be helpful to add it to the list, once we get the leather list all polished and up to date we can also do a colour list as also (can help people ID seasons as some colours like puss, scarabe, koolaid, pumpkin, honey etc were only used for one season)
thanks dcblam!
And yes need more mod shots!
My casual lifestyle usually has me in white tshirts from bassike, they drape well amd go with everyhing but ive been buying up some drkshdw stuff because they are pretty cool and theres not much else from Rick that i am loving at the moment...
looks great! How do RO tanks fit . I've always paid more attention to the jackets but the shirts drape really well.
As a guy, i generally avoid the mainline ones, especially the ribbed ones, unless ur skinny/have a perfect body, they are not super flattering, the drkshdw ones are good, ss ones are much lighter fabrics than fw and theres a few cuts available, the benefit of mainline is the fabrics, i have a mainline tank nearly identical to my drkshdw ones but its silk and cotton and its just so beatiful to wear....

Wow clarkda, pretty awesome of you to do this. You must have a great memory - or great skill at taking notes!
As promised, and I will never be good or comfortable with taking mod shots.
RO Lilies top, pants, and RO boxed calf vest & classic wedge boots.
Can't remember if the color is Dark Shadow or Dark Dust. Honestly - it's hard to tell sometimes.
Finally bit the bullet & ordered the Kool-aid on MyHabit when they were having the tax day sale. Hope I like it. Will let you know.
Happy Spring! (And wearing dark colors - LOL)

You look so so cool, i love the boxed calf vest!
Half the list is memory the other half is research, i was stuck in an airport for 7 hours and i needed to occupy my mind, so i had a steady stream of champagne and got researching...
The koolaid jacket should be perfect with all those darkshadow and dust things
I have that one, got it from myhabit in Feb and really love it. the colors in their pictures aren't represented very well but nonetheless I love the color.
clarkda, I'm not at home for another week and the tags are at home, sorry. if the sun comes out this weekend (it's monsooning) I will try to photograph the jacket. I will also try to add some info to your amazing list when I get home.
^^AAGGHHH - why do I do this to myself?
mundodabolsa, how are you loving the jacket? I've been smitten with Kool-Aid ever since it came out and I was very very pleased to see that this is a lighter weight jacket.
To add to all of its positive attributes - the leather code on this one is LV and I've been SEARCHING FOR YEARS for this leather type! It's baby calf/vitello (which kinda makes me cringe a bit), but oh so soft. I'm wondering if it will get softer and more drapey with wear????
AND, I've been so intrigued with the Princess cut.
I want to replace my Vince paper thin scuba leather jacket that has been my "go to" for layering. My RO Resin is just a bit too tight in the arms, so it's not my grab and go leather jacket. chloe speaks has been so kind to give me the details and intel on this style cuz I really don't need another classic biker style in my closet.
SO - to add to all of my confusion, I just ordered the Princess style in the Pearl blistered leather, 1 size up cuz I think I may want something a bit roomier AND this style may be more forgiving then the Classic. There's too much material in the front to flap and flop around with the Classic. Plus, this style had banded cuffs on the sleeves which will make it more manageable (I think). I'll post my thoughts upon receipt.
IF the Princess cut works - would love to have this in Kool-Aid, with either the LV or LB leather. Did RO ever make this combo????
I have found that the vest(s) really do "complete a look".
What did you get?
And yes, nice sale for you in the land of OZ......hope all is well!
but money saved 
honestly I've only worn it once yet so not much to report, I do really like it. I was a little surprised by the color, less purple than I thought and more just putty. it is definitely very soft, didn't even notice the leather type. it feels roomier than my other jackets in the same size, which I think is because the leather is so soft and thin.
I think you did we'll to size up in the princess cut. I have 2 (well 3 if a only wool one counts) that are 40s but this new one I got in a 42. the princess cut in my experience is tighter in the shoulders and across the back. my black 40 one is thicker so I can wear it when it's colder, but it becomes real tight with winter weight tops underneath. I got my new one a size up both to be a bit more comfortable, and because since it's a lighter color it looks less flattering when tight.
