Here's my update to codes that I have on my leather items:

LC - Lamb, oiled

LNP - Lamb, metallic, smooth

LB - Lamb, blistered

LBO - Calf, boxed leather (shows the grain, but smooth)

LV - Vitello (baby calf), smooth and sleek, shows no grain


Anyone else want to chime in to add/edit what I have here and to add your own?

Now that we've seen mundodabolsa's beauty, the leather looks similar to chloe speaks silver/grey Princess jacket. Hmmmmm??????

DRUM ROLL - and yes - this post is useless without pics.......

I got the Pearl Blistered Leather Princess jacket, 1 size up from my normal, and it's almost PERFECT and fits just like I hoped it would! I've got a bit more room in the arms and bodice. I've finally found the style that is better suited for me. AND, the banded cuffs makes the long sleeves more manageable.

YEAH!

It's Naska S/S 2012 and has the feel and drape of my desire. The only issue - and most likely due to "hanging around" for so long AND possibly quality control issues - was part of the facing on the back hem was loose and thus a small portion of the hem was uneven. Drooping leather bits - not attractive. So, off it went to the tailor yesterday afternoon and she said that it was an easy and quick fix.

:happydance:

Now, do I keep or return the Kool-Aid??????? GGGRRRRR.......I know, I should just sell my Sailbiker jacket!

ok I'm home so I will play the code game some more... another different one.

LORI: this jacket is a mix of leather and wool. so the LO is the oiled calf. it's a very thick, inflexible leather.

the fabric content says: 60% calf leather, 30% cashmere, 5% alpaca, 5% poliammide

First two general shots to know which jacket it is:

and the leather detail. I flipped the sleeve over the body of the jacket a little so you could see the variety in the graininess. the sleeves are practically smooth. sorry if the sunlight reflection is getting in the way but I think you get the idea.

from left to right: smooth shoulder piece, little bit grainy panel under the armpit, smoother again piece by the zipper, to the most grainy part which is the main torso piece in the front.

My vest arrived today from the Outnet and unfortunately it is too small, which is a shame because I really liked it, so back it goes.

Sorry to hear that it was too small, but now you have an idea if this item is a must or not for your wardrobe.
Don't know if you are a YOOX fan, but every once in awhile, vests will pop up on their site.
