Do a search on this thread for posts done by clarkda......
He has posted a list of retailers for RO. You can check 'em out to see if there are sale items on their sites......

Ok I will look, thank you!

But so far I have not found anything on sale yet.

 

[meowmeow]

Yes I did! Looks like we both bought the same jacket! Lol



Is yours shipped yet? Mine has not even though I paid extra for 2 days shipping.

Looks like mine has been shipped and should arrive in two days! But I'm having it shipped to my friend's place so won't get to see it until February ... Please share yours when u get it!

My RO Black suede jacket came yesterday. I had to size up to 40 because size 38 was sold out.

Can you tell me if it looks ok? The arms and chest feel a little snugged, probably because I'm not used to wear such fitted clothes. Anyway, I thought it was going to be paper thin, but as it turned out, the jacket was much more substantial than I expected! So all in all I'm pleased with my first RO purchase. Now I want a leather and a blister jacket!

Looks lovely on you - and I think you may have found the right size for this style and leather.
It fits nicely on your shoulders AND it doesn't look like it's tight in the chest or arm areas. Tell us a bit more about your concern for the fit.

How does it feel when you zip it up? It looks like you just have a tank top underneath - so have you tried it on with other tops? Thicker fabric, long sleeves, etc?

What's the weather like where you live? Is the weight of this leather just fine or do you need a lighter leather?

AND - could you do us a favor a take a pic of the tag that you can find in the inside pocket of the jacket. It will tell us what "LSY" means.......

Nice score!

Ok, so even within the same brand the different leather has a different fit? If so then I am glad that took a chance! I was so convinced it wouldn't fit so I was pleasantly surprised.

I have big chest and fat arms so I'm very self conscious about them. Trying to work out to lose some body fat so hopefully I won't look like a stuffed sausage anymore! Lol.

It feels very fitted but not restrictive to the point where I can't breath when zipped. I have only tried with a tank because it was 82 today. We have warm weather, so this is perfect for winter especially at night. But I would like to get something lighter for the spring or fall.

Here are more tags. So apparently this is from the F/W season so it makes sense that it's thicker. So now I need S/S leather and or Blister.

 

[meowmeow]

I think it fit you very nice! It's not too tight and not lose at all. I think it will be snug if u go one size down. And it looks like u can still wear a thin top inside. Looks very cool! I really hope mine will fit me!

 

[scorpiosgirl69]

Thank you Meow! I can't wait for you to see yours too. I hope they will fit you perfectly as well!

Yes indeed - at least it's been my experience that the fit can be different with different leathers. My arms are pretty developed and I have a broad upper back, so we both have the similar fit issues.

In this classic style, my F/W Resin cow leather jacket is thicker and tighter than my S/S calf leather, which is not as tight in the arms and back area. The thinner leathers stretch more quickly.

AND - you got a gem there....with the pig leather. It will soften more with use and will look better and better as the years go by.

AND remember that with each jacket style/cut, the fit will be different. For me, the clean biker style has a more generous fit in the arms versus the classic biker. Go figure.

Also, thanks for providing the info on the tags. Now we know that LSY is pig leather.

meowmeow - hope that you will be delighted with yours as well. Keep us posted!

Hmmm... I didn't know RO used pigskin for his jackets! As for sizing it's so confusing! So do you have a recommendation for some softer leather. I think the Blister will look too similar to my suede so I'm thinking of just getting a Lambskin jacket but I want a soft and thin one for S/S. Should I get that in 40 like my Suede or size down to 38 which is my normal size?

Thanks for your help!

Thank you! You have been so helpful with my Bal Moto jacket hunt!

You are MOST welcome!

RO uses lots of different leathers for his jackets - including Kangaroo!

As for recommendations - are you looking for the same style jacket? I have found that the RO style/cut that suits my figure best is the Princess cut - here's the style:

http://www.myhabit.com/#page=d&dept...x=46&discovery=search&ref=qd_designer_sr_1_46


If classic is your cut, I would stick with size 40, a thinner leather will just be a tad looser in the arms and chest area. Look for lamb (agneau) or calf (vitello), for the most part, they will be thinner - BUT - there are ALWAYS exceptions with RO leather. It IS confusing.

Everyone has their favorite leather. My preference for leather is LV, calf leather (vitello). It's lightweight. Remember, every season there's something a bit different, the color, the way the leather is treated AND sometimes fit. Again, not consistent. BUT, if it's a bit of an aggravation, it's worth it for the beautiful leather!

This is just my opinion, but I think that blistered leathers have the nicest drape. It's the perfect ratio of leather weight to drape. Blistered leather will look VERY different than your pig leather AND it will also depend on the blistered leather itself. Every blistered jacket is different.

Good luck - it becomes a bit of an addiction!

Ok Blister is back on the list then! Lol. I just want something light weight that drapes nicely. I do like the style I have so I should stick with 40.

Have you bought anything recently?

Hello everyone,

It's been far too long, I hope you are all well!

It's been very quiet for me on the RO front but I'm extremely tempted at the moment and would love your advice. What is the blood biker like in real life? I've seen so many pictures online but have not been able to come to a conclusion on the color. Does it lean more towards a brown, a red, or possibly even a grape or plum (NAP pic)?

I'm moving to a different climate and really don't have much use for a fourth RO jacket, but I adore the color in pictures where it's more of a burgundy. If it's more of a brown I can spend my money on something more climate-appropriate without that little voice in my head chasing me... I'd appreciate your input.

Thanks!
