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.

^^Thanks for chiming in......crikey, thank goodness I did size up on the Princess since I have a broader back - not to mention my arms! Will report upon arrival.
AND yes, I agree with your opinion on the Kool-Aid...thinner leather makes it a bit roomier!

Hi y'all!
I'm not sure if this is allowed on this thread but I have a RO leather biker jacket (black, F/W 2012, size 38, NEW with tags) that I'm trying find a good home for! The leather is gorgeous and really soft/smooth but I ended up buying another one in the distressed leather and decided to that I preferred the latter. I can't return the former b/c it's past the return deadline but I really can't afford to keep both. :( If any of you are interested, please PM me for more info & pictures.

Update: Yikes! I wasn't expecting such a quick response. This jacket thus is no long available.

clarkda, as requested...

we're all about to learn why I never post pictures, sorry for my lack of talent.

first some closeups to show the bubbly LTOQ leather. the color is showing up a bit lighter than it is.

sorry if these pics are big and annoying but the point is to see the details right?

then I tried to show the color more accurately but the white paper only made the camera adjust itself, so this pic shows it too darkly despite being in the exact same spot as the previous too pics (next to window with lots of light coming in.)

and the last one, back inside this time with both the natural light from the window and the overhead light on.

I'm going to say it looks somewhere in between the second outdoor pic and this last indoor one.

OH MY GOODNESS - THAT'S ONE GORGEOUS JACKET/LEATHER!!!
This is a beauty. Congrats on finding it, for sure :laugh:

I've quoted you here:

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.

Check the tag for the leather. I assume it's lamb cuz you said it was like butter or maybe vitello???

thanks!

do you mean the inside the inner pocket white tag or the removable tags with the collection info? the inner tag just says LTOQ, I always thought anything that started with L was lamb but I guess the LV being vitello proved me wrong. :laugh:

the other tags are at home many many miles away but I will look when I get home over the weekend if they say anything else.

who knows. the important part is that it's awesome.

Take a look-see at the inner pocket white tag and read the fabric content. It should note the type of leather.

AND - I think we all know know that "L" just means leather. I just got finished looking at the tags of my leather items and will post info. Think our "codes" need a bit of updated........clarkda....will be spending any more free time at the airport soon????? LOL!

AND yes, it's totally AWESOME!

oh duh of course L would be for leather.

and I've never thought to look at the fabric content before, 100% lamb it says.

clearly I'm having a slow day! thanks for your help.
