Hey guys! So I'm planning to get a Rick Owens biker jacket and after going through the thread, I think I want the blister leather (I like the drapey thin leather). However I was wondering what the longevity of the blister leather is like. Does the leather peel? Does it get more and blistered as you wear it? I would love to know how long you guys have had your blister leather jackets for! :) thank youu.

Hi, I don't have a blister jacket but have a blistered vest. It looks the same as when I bought it probably two years ago, but then I don't wear it as much as you would a jacket. I don't think it would change that much though.

I lean towards my blistered leather pieces more than others, i like the drape and the matte-ness of the leather. I have a jacket from Crust 09 with blistered sleeves, same as they were when i got it, if not a bit softer and spongier. It doesn't peel not does it get more blistered (that i have noticed). Hope this helps

I see that the collective knowledge on this thread is beyond anything I witnessed before so I guess this would be a good place to ask for help/advice regarding RO jacket ...
Does anyone know the difference between LK & LN ?
They both say brushed lamb leather .... In my experience LK is like suede finish. I saw it once in a store but they didn't have my size.
Now, if anyone can help me with the LN, I would very much appreciate your feedback!

I have a vest that’s marked LNP and it’s a lamb leather with a metallic/pearlized finish. I bet the N is for lamb but have no idea about how it’s finished. Sorry I cannot be more helpful. Just so you know, the L means “leather”.

I was looking through old collections of revillion fur from when rick was creative director. IMO its some of my absolute favourite stuff he's designed, it has his edge, but with an added elegance often missed in his mainline collection pieces, below are links to two collections with average image quality but you will get the idea...

I would like to know this as well. I believe, although not entirely sure, that LK is a form on Lamb Nubuck. I do not know what LN is outside of being Lamb.

Also, does anyone know the difference between the Calf on LCW and LGW?

Hi Ladies!

This thread is amazing and has been so informative in learning about Rick Owens and his beautiful jackets. I'm looking to purchase my first black leather jacket investment piece and I wanted to get all your advices on a versatile Rick Owens leather weight and/or wash. I'm unfamiliar with how warm his paper thin leathers vs thicker/medium weight leathers. I'm looking for something that is versatile for Fall, Spring, and Summer (so around the 45-70 degree range) if such a thing exists. If I can get away with a thinner leather in 45 degrees then that'd be perfect because I do value the lightness of the thinner jackets.

Thanks so much in advance!

Hello - and hope others will chime in with their opinions.
I have several of his jackets and my “go to” items seem to be his blistered leather jackets. I love the drape, the lightness and it’s possible to wear a light sweater underneath some of them. I tend to run “hot”, so his thicker leathers are winter wear for me.
At first I was put off by the paper leather as they really don’t have the classic, butter-feel of leather. Now, I love the feel, the look and the fact that they are not “pristine” looking......
Hope you find something to your liking.....
