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.

I am pretty much a US size 8 and the size 44 was way too small and really tight under the arms, maybe you have to be a waif to wear some of his things.

Suzie -
It's all about finding the right RO size that works for you without regard to the printed size. I am normally a US size 4 and I wear size 42 in Rick stuff AND I have two jackets that are size 44 and one is a 40. The three vest type items I have are all 42's.
Hope this helps......

Thanks, obviously the sizing is all over the place.

Guess I won't order online anymore as it is annoying to have to return things all the time. I can't buy here in Oz so I have to buy online.

I am going overseas in July so maybe I will wait and try on some of his stuff while I am in London and Pairs.

Where in aus do u live?
 
You can get womens rick owens from Parlour X in paddington and Pieces boutique near chinatown, although i wouldnt advise going to Pieces, the sales people are really pushy and dont leave you alone...

Thanks, I knew Parlour X sold Rick Owens but they are pretty expensive so I get mine from the Outnet or other websites where they are not as expensive as what we have to pay here in Oz.

I really hate pushy sales people!
 
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!
Hi :) long time lurker first time posting. I'm looking to buy my third RO jacket, which just so happens to be the koolaid, leather code LV. I was wondering what you ended up doing with yours? I'm buying online and I know I can't really trust the websites pictures...my goal is to find a grey RO jacket that looks/feels like leather and is not fabric-y/plastic-y or shiny.
 
Hi guys, enjoying all the posts though have been more of a lurker lately!

I am so obsessed with this vest, please tell me that it's incredibly stupid to get it in this light colour? Will it just look awful after not very long?

Sorry, I cannot lie and tell you that it's not a good purchase because IT IS GREAT!

So, I wonder if the GREY color noted is similar to Pearl????

Kinda like preaching to the choir, but the Pearl color is really NICE and not as light as you may think. I appears that the leather may be blistered???? That would mean a nice drape.

I'll post pics of my new Princess, maybe a similar color way?

I'll post pics soon.
I have until tomorrow to make a decision, but I'm 95% sure that I'll keep it!
So, before I answer your question, give me an idea of your other RO jackets and if I know something about 'em and the leather type, I will try to compare and contrast the LV leather type and color for you. BUT, we all must keep in mind that every jacket is different.

It's such a great neutral color and I love the weight - I would consider this a three season jacket. Love the leather character/variations.
Sorry for my lousy pics - the jacket is actually a bit darker.

Believe I have finally found the style that works for me. Woot Woot!

Here's the jacket.
Island S/S 2013
RP 7708 LV
Vitello leather

I've come to realize that I prefer the S/S leathers. They tend to be lighter weight, less bulky and more pliable. I wanted to show you the "wrinkles", illustrates that the leather is not stiff. I'm much more comfortable in this 42 jacket versus my F/W 42 in Resin which is a thicker leather.

I purchased and returned a Kool Aid earlier this year from Forward in the Clean Classic Biker style. It was an LV-type, without the lining. That leather felt like plastic. This leather is SO MUCH better. It is a matte finish, where you don't see the grain of the leather, but I'm sure that's the nature of vitello. You mentioned that you wanted it to "look" like leather - but this is truly subjective, yes and can be so dependent on the leather type and treatment. Ah, gets so confusing.

I love this Kool Aid color. It's a combo of grey/brown/purple. So unique. My pics are doing a lousy job of showing the color.

Let me know if you have questions - will be happy to help.

Congratulations dear dcblam!
I can't believe how gorgeous that Pearl color is in that style and leather finish. It wasn't even on my radar and now...:laugh:. I believe it is a four-season color as I believe in Winter White - i can see it with holey white tunic and gray cashmere slouchy sweat/pants with the RO boots

I'm so glad that I have helped convert another fan of this style. I just wore my black blistered one yesterday to see Rodrigo y Gabriela at the Beacon Theatre. So great - the inside side pockets are fabulous for slipping in reading glasses ;)

chloe speaks :smooch::hugs::winkiss:
so great to see you and YES - you are totally responsible for this!!!
I've finally found the style that's easy and seamless for me. I imagine that this will be my "go to" RO in all seasons. You're right - this will work all seasons!

Oh how nice, seeing R y G in concert!
