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?

Do you remember our chat about the LV kool aid jackets a few months ago and how buttery soft the vitello leather is?

I got two LV jackets today that are from Naska S/S 12 and they are the stiffest RO leather I've ever seen. Stiff while paper thin, they actually remind me of the texture of paper in general. One is Pearl and the other is the ever descriptive DNA Dust. The DNA Dust one is also the most marked up leather I've seen, it's like every other cm has a scratch in a little whiteish hue. Almost like little nail marks all over the jacket.

Anyone it's just really interesting how these LV jackets have nothing to do with others I have.

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

Me me and I saw, it's a naska shape but a stiff foam-like leather. I've seen it in person at a couple stores too.

But I actually found exactly the jacket I wanted at Bergdorf... but I'm going to pass. The Blood color is not that different from the Caramel biker I got a few months ago. Really the only striking difference is on the lining part so the part the drapey collar exposes. I'd rather have the Blood one but since the Caramel is non-returnable, the Caramel stays.

Now if the Blood goes on sale...

Thanks for letting me know though!

I'm little, 5ft (1m54cm), and the sleeves aren't an issue. At least in terms of the jackets since the leather is soft and the sleeves are half-leather half-cloth they are easily pushed up. Since the arm/wrist openings are so little the extra length doesn't hang over your hands or fingers anyhow, it just accumulates as bunched fabric in the sleeve. The idea of bunched fabric may sound uncomfortable but it's not even noticeable in terms of feeling and looks cool. It matches the relaxed look of the jackets.

Thanks :) he does that a lot with his lilies pieces I own. Love them all. I never was able to get anything on sale though.

Please keep us posted if RO pieces go on sale. I have never gotten an item on sale.
I need to find some UK websites with RO items.

Check out yoox.com or theoutnet.com
They r always discounted and usually have rick owens
Farfetch is another good site for it, and you can narrow it down to EU boutiques only
This thread usually heats up during sale season so you will know when sales start

SO SO SO interesting. I suppose that's what to be expected from Rick. Never the same, always an iteration.

Any chance that you can POST PICS of the marked up DNA Dust? It actually sounds MOST intriguing. What style were the jackets?

Need some help from more experienced RO lovers.

Does anyone have problems with the long sleeves? I love RO but the sleeves can get pretty long. Absolutely love lilies with the quality and style.

For the leather jackets, I need to buy off NAP, it's easier (dont have a store in Suisse etc). I can do the blister washed leather or washed leather. Do you have problems with the sleeves? Do you like the leather? Which one is considered a RO classic leather jacket?

Sorry for my thousand questions, I know you guys will know better. I really would prefer to get a RO than another brand.

Have been away, so sorry for the late response to your inquiry.
Welcome!!!

Since you mentioned that Blistered is a favorite, having the long sleeves is not a problem since you can scrunch them up easily! I too am short (5ft) and the sleeves are long for every long sleeve RO piece I have - but find that with the lighter weight jackets - it's not a problem.

Some seasons, RO does a princess cut leather jacket with a cotton cuff sleeve that makes it a bit easier to wear.

Sure but be warned people, these pics are going to be large to try and show what I'm talking about. This is the DNA Dust in Naska style (also from Naska season but I mean the type of jacket with the tails.)

So the one in the pics is as I said Naska style, and the Pearl one is a Princess cut. Aren't you the one who also has a Pearl Princess but in lamb leather?

The Pearl Princess cut is probably going back or being exchanged for a larger size because it's like the cuffs at the wrists were made for a 5 year old. It's bizarre because my other Princess jackets with this style cuff in this same size are no issue but in this one I can barely get my fingers and wrist through the cuff. And I have skinny bony Skeletor-type hands.

Thank you. :) I need to pick the right one on NAP which is easiest for me.

Love RO and now need one of his leather jackets. The weather got super cold but I need one for march.

It will be either RO or Balenciaga. I am leaning toward RO.

You are super helpful :)))
