like how soon? quickly. I usually receive my order within 48 hours of ordering. I've bought a ton from the RO sales they've had over the last year and had nothing but good experiences. You should be fine.

Hmmmmm....
Pretty much all of that I can see sitting on the Outnet at about 60% off....
Speaking of the Outnet, did anyone pick anything up in their RO sale a couple of weeks ago? I managed to get three classic bikers at 50% off, I was amazed. One in this pale grey/stone colour that is called 'Ice', and two black that are I think actually the same jacket though they were listed separately and the leather is slightly more grainy on one. I was supposed to send one back and just keep two but I can't bear to send the third back, I've never seen them at such a good price. They are from FW13 and are all code LGI, which I don't think is on our list. It's a lovely mid weight leather, really buttery and soft, a little bit of grain. It's nothing like the LG I have so not sure how it relates.
I was so happy to pick up the grey one, I have been wanting the 'Tear' colour for months but couldn't get it anywhere, even tried the Milan shop a few weeks ago certain they would have it, but nothing.
Also another thing to mention is how much these jackets stretch out, it is amazing. Comparing these to my other size 38 that I've been wearing for a couple of years it's like they are one or two sizes apart.
Anyways hope everyone is well, it's been so quiet around here lately!
Totally agree about the outnet comment, but who knows what extra pieces will be made for retail...
By the way, whoever was looking for a naska biker in blood, there is a lillies one on rickowens.eu..... It is a naska shape but kind of different... Im not sure why it is listed as lillies though
I need some advice! I want a Rick Owens jacket. I see them on models/editors/etc and they look great, plus I actually need a new jacket and this will be an investment piece. However, whenever I see them for sale online, they always look short -- almost as if they're cropped (and the actually cropped ones are even shorter..) And I have a long torso to begin with, so I'm worried that I'll spend $$$$ on this jacket and it won't even function as a jacket since it won't go down to my hips (which I want, since otherwise it won't really keep me warm..)
Anyway, I'm wondering if these jackets aren't as short as they appear online in real life. I don't live in a great shopping city so I can't try it on before buying. I'm also wondering if they come in different styles, and if there is a longer style I'm not aware of?
My favorite style is this one:

But the fit/length I want is this:

Any advice? Thank you!!!

This season theres longer jacket styles than the classic bikers which are a little cropped. The jacket in the photo looks to be HUN which always do slightly tweaked silhouettes of mainline anyway. You may be surprised about your city, even smaller cities have stores that stock rick if yours doesnt, go to a site with easy free returns that way you can get a feel for the styles and sizing.

^^^^ this style is shearling and has a longer torso length, look on different website as different sites get different stock
The classic biker is indeed quite short in the torso, the idea is really to layer it.
However you also have the Nasha and Naska styles which are a bit longer as they have a tail in the back.
Ms Alt seems to wearing a version of that.
Otherwise I'd also recommend ordering online to try on the fit of the classic biker. Personally it's my favourite style as its like my second skin and just uncomplicated.
Let us know how it goes!

I'm only seeing this now too, sorry!
That caramel biker I posted a few months ago is also LGI. Very thin, soft, almost smooth leather from Vicious S/S 14.
I love the drapy easy wear of the mainline RO skirts with the elastic waistband, but recently two of the skirts I have (2008+) seemed to have shot waistbands. The elastic was completely stretched out! I dont' wear them that often and usually handwash, hang-dry the skirts.
Does this happen to others, and what do you do?

hey babe, how are you? Thanks for posting the link and article by Bill - the collection IS beautiful!
chloe
great seeing you.....wish I had some intel to convey to you. I have several pieces with the elastic band, but they are not the mainline pieces. The waistband on one of my DRKSHDW item has stretched a bit, but it's still wearable. Maybe call the boutique in NYC to ask them?
Be well all.......

Ladies and gents I would love your opinions on proper care and storage of RO leather.
Right now all my jackets are crammed into my tiny NYC closets so they're mostly in garment bags so as to not have the zippers and buttons and things pressing into the next jacket and creating indentations. And also because I leave my windows open nearly year-round so the amount of polluted city dust that gets in is insane. My softer, thinner jackets aren't even hung, just folded in boxes.
But I'm moving and will have two walk-in closets with entire walls just for my jackets. Should I leave them out of the garment bags so the leather breathes? Does it actually matter?
Next thing to consider is that my new home will be a short drive from the beach and lots of salty air... so maybe I should still leave them tucked away so the zippers don't rust?
Am I being precious about jackets that are aged-looking and wrinkled naturally and don't need special care anyhow? I guess I'm just so obsessed with my new closet space that I can't stop picturing actually having my jackets all hung in an organized way for once in my life!

Hi everybody! I'm not done reading the whole topic yet, but I've got a quick question for you guys. As I can't afford to buy a RO jacket at full price right now, I've been looking at second hand stores. I've found this one in my size at a reasonable price, so I'll have to be quick.

They say it's from F/W 2012 and it's metallic silver, but it looks grey to me? Does anyone here have this jacket or more pictures? I'd like to know how metallic it is exactly? Like really shiny or barely noticeable? I was actually looking for a black one, or at least a neutral color that goes with everything, so if it's really shiny, I won't take it. Maybe you guys also have a clue which leather is? The lightweight version or a heavier and stiffer version? I'd like one that really drapes well when you wear it unzipped.
I hope you guys can help me out, thanks!

It looks to be blistered lamb which always drapes well.
As for the thickness of the leather, if it is FW then it will be heavier than a SS jacket but will still drape well, if it is from Mountain FW12 i dont know what colour it is, if it is anthem SS11 then it is Silver. Which is a light grey and ranges from metallic to dull depending on the leather (blistered leather will be dull). Hope this helps

I always have my jackets hanging on their proper hangers without dustbags apart from my ones with fur which i put in special fur dustbags to stop them drying out/malting.
Dont worry about the salty air, it shouldnt affect your jackets hardware at all.
Awesome, thanks for chiming in. I think I want to leave them out, I can't wait to be able to actually see them all every day. Now I forget I own some and keep wearing the same ones.
