I have a couple shearlings that got plenty of use in NYC. Definitely warm but I don't like wearing super heavy sweaters as indoor places can get too warm, so the shearling works out well.
That said, not sure if you said if this was your first Rick Owens or not. I wouldn't start with shearling. Get a "regular" one first, it will be more useful and also tend to me more supple and drapey and softer leather that ages better.
Turns out I kept the lavender-wannabe-grey jacket. In the light of day it ended up looking more grey, I guess it was my bedroom lights creating the lavender effect. I asked my man what color he saw when he looked at it as he paints and I thought his color sensibility would be refined. He said beige. So I'm a sucker and that was good enough for me to keep it.
The others were literal repeats of jackets I already own so y'all didn't miss anything by me not posting pics. I don't have much of a life and find myself just in my yoga clothes for 3/4 of the week, so since they were cheap I got doubles of some of my basics so I can wear them to and from yoga and not care about putting them on my sweaty body. Now I'm the chicest lady at yoga.
Both you and the jacket look lovely - the leather doesn't look stiff at all and looks soft and drapes nicely.
First question...have you looked in the inside pocket (usually the left pocket) of your jacket to find the label? The label will tell you the style and leather type.
Let us know if you find this.......if you purchased from NAP - it will be there.
Keeping our fingers crossed for you that you'll find out the leather type soon!
YES - you were smart to ask your man since he's 'up" on his colors. It's probably a unique and gorgeous color in person.
LOL - I am sure you are the most chic of all your yoga pals. We're simpatico on this aspect as well....either gym clothes or RO. Glad to hear that you scored your additions at a reasonable price so you don't have to baby them at all.
I must confess - that I need to post a pic of the newest addition. Besides the Turtle style blistered lamb that I did post.....I recently scored a Stooges in Black Nubuck lamb that is so so so soft. Such a difference between this one and the Kool Aid Stooges in calf that I purchased a year or two ago.
I've been going to Bergdorfs website to check out their end of season sale. Prices are better than NM, go figure. Got the Stooges for $700 (using Mr. Rebates - thank goodness). Maybe someone else will find a treasure????
Thanks ladies for the advice.
I've two other RO jackets. Metallic very thin and long and then the standard calf leather long one too.
I think the shearling would be a good addition!

Thanks mundodabolsa! It's super soft and smooth but I rmb it being one of the thicker leathers I've seen on RO.
I don't have the jacket anymore but it was my favourite and I've been trying to find this particular leather ever since. NAP doesn't seem to have any more. Any thing else is either too thin, or too shiny or too stiff. And that's after not even looking at anything blistered or distressed!

OH NO.......sorry to hear about this and I can understand how you feel. Believe it or not, it could be LV leather for a F/W edition. Many years ago, I fell in love with a jacket with this code and it was a F/W release. It was the best leather ever - soft, had a nice drape but was NOT thin, but not TOO thick. Just the right weight. Had I known then what I know now, I would buy that jacket at full price.
The charm AND/OR the challenge with RO is that the leathers are pretty much DIFFERENT every season and every year, especially those that are NOT blistered. The blistering treatment is pretty much the same season to season, at least that's my experience. Others may know better.
My suggestion is to try to remember/figure out the year and season that your purchased the jacket and try to find it with resellers. Good luck.

DOLT - silly suggestion since you already mentioned it was Fall of 2010. How about getting in touch with one of the retail RO stores (try the NY one first since they may be the oldest store???) to ask them for info.......worth a shot?
Well break my heart. Loved the Faun layered looks and after months of waiting found my favorite on the website and ... 12k? Really?
I don't understand this pricing at all. Even if all of the quilting is by hand, it's not even in silk.
Thoughts?

Hi everyone. I just got in a vintage Rick jacket today - a Mollino. It's marked LGI; does anyone know what this code is?

Have you tried to locate the tag that will tell you the leather type? It's located in the inside pocket of the jacket.
Also, can you take a pic of the jacket for us - to include a close up shot of the leather.
Cheers back at 'cha
Hi there,
You bet! Here are a couple of photos. The leather code isn't one that I was able to look up here; it says LGI. Lamb, but what treatment?
