And a pic taken with a flash to highlight the "scratches" more for the purposes of show and tell but it's not this obvious in real life.

My goodness....it really looks like oiled/waxed leather! AND, to think that it's so stiff and vitello???? Wonder if it got mis-marked? Reminds me of my Resin calf biker, but not as "marked". Think that it can develop a lot of character. I have a fondness for things that are NOT perfect......

Thanks for posting pics......is it a keeper or is it going back????

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.

Yes indeed -
I have the Princess Pearl in Blistered lamb...nice n' soft....you have an awesome memory!
OH MY goodness about the cuffs - and you are so slight and to think you couldn't get your hands through them. How utterly strange??? Keep us posted!

Yes definitely I really love this jacket. I also have a fondness for not perfect things, especially cause that's how Rick Owens stuff should be in my opinion, not precious. It will age well.

It's kind of funny cause nearly every jacket I've gotten from discount places I can tell why they ended up there or why a jacket from 3 years ago is just getting sold now. They usually have either a leather panel that is a little too worn or mismatched colors or a zipper that isn't perfect, always something and I'm always happy everyone else rejected it so I could have it at 50% + off.

:) I am being tempted by this one

But the problem is the hardware as usual is very visible. I would like something more subtle. With RO for the ones I find on NAP, it is not the case.

I love his lilies collection (hope it's the correct spelling) clothing.

That's a great looking biker, for sure. I can completely understand what you mean by the hardware...it really does make a statement and is not as flexible in styling like the RO classic biker style.

I also love his Lilies collection, BUT find myself picking up his DRSKDW pieces as my regular, go to staples. I mix and match all of his lines and love the play with color and fabric texture.

Welcome to RO madness!

I have both balenciaga and a rick owens and I love both for different looks. Balenciaga is def more of a statement and I find Rick Owens to be more carefree. I'm looking to add another Rick Owens piece soon :)

Thank you :) I have become drown to his lilies collection so far. I would not refuse RO at all.

My wish-list is full of his items
So far, I have not scored anything on sale. His jackets sell out pretty fast, again on NAP.

I need to find other international websites carrying RO. Or just use his.

Thanks so much for your help and support. What a wonderful group :)

Hi everyone, could you please help me with this, is the blistered washed leather biker and washed leather biker the same thing? They are the same price on NAP. It is not suede right? Thanks

They should NOT be the same thing, but call NAP and ask them to clarify. They are helpful. Ask them, if possible, to get the information that's on the tags. There is one inside the pocket, if they cannot readily find.

NO, blistered leather is NOT suede.
