Rick Owens Lovers Thread

(well considering with this jacket came 3 others... I should probably not even look!)

So?????? What about the others????
I too would have been quite duped as well.

Got notification from MyHabit that an item on my wish list came back. So, I went for the Blistered Leather Turtle style leather jacket in Dark Dust. Let's see what that one looks like - as well as the fit. I've never seen this style IRL and do wonder about the fit.

Will post an update.

Happy New Year everyone and hope that 2015 is delightful for all!

Sale on NAP. I just got several items from RO now. They added RO later in the sale for some reason and I forgot to see if his stuff was in the VIP sale. For people in EU it may be of interest.

I think I am a Lilies kind of girl.

This year I plan to buy more of his stuff.

Happy New Year

The jackets really do stretch a lot. I think as long as you can do it up don't worry about it being tight. Ones I've worn for a couple years have stretched at least a size I think. One I just bought a couple months ago has also stretched so it's more comfortable already. I had to buy it because the one I had worn for a couple years is now actually too loose because it's stretched so much. And when I bought it I could barely do it up. They are both 38s but if you put them next to each other you'd never believe that.

That is good to know. I will be buying a leather jacket for my bday in April. And I was debating between 38 and 40. I am 0 but can fluctuate and felt maybe if I put a light sweater it won't zip. But for his clothing items I feel they come tight, as for the lilies collection. So I always take 40 instead of 38.

Hello all -
Here's a small leather item I just picked up at the Barney's on line sale.
Am delighted and love the side pouch for small bills. Didn't know this was a feature. Barney's descriptions on their goods are pretty lame.




Have some more to share - later!

Here's my latest big score from MyHabit.
It's the Turtle cut jacket in blistered lamb.
The cut is so different from the classic biker. Overall, a roomier fit.
Especially the upper arms and upper back. Longer length jacket. There is a bias cut on the sleeves-similar to the Princess cut. No pockets.
I took my normal size in this jacket.
The draping is lovely around the neck area. I suppose because of the LB leather, it's light and hangs beautifully.

Hope this helps someone.

Wow so beautiful! You look lovely!

I am looking for a jacket too, but I am so confused regarding the styles and the various leather. I guess I better start reading this thread!

Seeing @dcbalm in her lovely RO, I decided to head over to myhabit to check out what they have. I ended up getting the black classic biker in sueded leather. I'm usually a size 8 which I believe I should be getting a 44 but the largest they have is an 8 which is a 42. Does anyone own this jacket? Can someone tell me if this jacket will stretch and any pictures or comments would greatly be appreciated! FYI, the email has this code written but I'm not sure what it means... RP13F07008/LSY 09

Hello
With RO, there's a pretty big learning curve as to size and fit for your body type.
With most other clothing manufacturers, I am a US size 4, but usually take a 42 in RO clothing, which translates to a size 8. Go figure. With his classic biker cut, I take this size, but with the Princess cut, I prefer a 44. With this Turtle style, my size is 42.

The leather does stretch on the jackets - but of course you have to wear it often to stretch them out. Thinner leathers stretch more and the rule of thumb is that Spring/Summer jackets will be lighter leathers - but of course, there are exceptions.

IF you can get to a place where you can try items on for sizing purposes - great!
If not, my suggestion is to purchase from a place that has free ship and return to figure out sizing.
Good luck and be prepared that the jacket may not be the right size for you.

Thanks dcblam for the explanation! I will take a chance to see how this fits and if it doesn't work, will return it.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Do let us know about the fit and we will be able to let you know if it's consistent or not to the cut. AND, if the jacket itself is to your liking, make sure to add the size you want to your wish list on MyHabit. Items do get returned and you may get lucky!

Thanks for your kind comments. And YES - there's a lot to read. There are so many styles and styles within styles. He also changes up leathers season to season.
Sometimes - one can get a headache!

Ask - there's always someone here that can help and give you insight/guidance.

Thank you so much Dcblam!

I'm usually a size 0. In Balenciaga Moto jacket I take a 34. However, with the size 34 I cannot zip it due to my 32DD chest! But if I were to size up to 36 then the shoulders and back are too large, so I just wear it unzipped. Now do you think because RO's biker jackets run small I should try the 40 instead of 38?

I take a us size 6. Bal moto jacket size 40, but I can zip. RO size 44. Hope that helps for size comparison

Well 38 was sold out so I grabbed the 40 which might be too big. I guess we will know in a few days.

Anyway, I think I want the Blister Biker jacket, but the one I just bought said Suede, so I might not like it.
