Rick Owens Lovers Thread

[designergoods]

I am a RO newbie and recently purchased my first jacket (I believe its called a princess jacket), used but in good condition. Could anyone chime in to share their thoughts on how this type of leather is? I researched it being a glass ice lamb? Also, is this a recent style, durable, comfortable, true to size, etc? Appreciate any thoughts and info you may have on it

I have this jacket although I can't be sure it's the exact same leather, but it is this cut, the Princess with shawl collar. Mine is 2-3 years old. I love it. It's very fitted but given that, runs true to size (I am a 00 and wear a 38). It can be worn open for a classic jacket look or zipped up and look sleek and a bit dangerous

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the fit and style of the jacket! I am a solid size 6 in most clothing so hope it fits comfortably. It is a little different than the lovely funnel collar styles out there but still edgy in a sense. Love to hear about the "bit dangerous" comment aspect ...already like the design more!

For "dangerous" zip it up and wear with black jeans and either pointy heeled boots or motorcycle boots. Extra points for a high ponytail á la the final scene of "Grease".

Ohh la la, I will give it a go! Chasing after my little ones, I got the motor boots and will pull my hair back! Maybe add some shades and belt - love the look
Thank you for the cool style ideas

I'm a size US size 6 as well and usually buy 44 but not in this style, the biker style. RO seems to run small to me but hopefully this fits you

Yikes, thank you sharing what size you wear! I am currently reading up on the thread and the jackets sound like they do run a size to three too small. Sheesh, its so hard to figure out! The jacket that is coming does have a good return policy so I may need to send it back and try ordering a 42 and 44.
May I ask what leather type you have and has it stretched out with wear?

Hi there, just to chime in they do stretch out a size with wear. I have two 40s that seemed the right size when I bought them but have stretched to the point I can't wear them anymore. So since then I always get 38, even if it feels tight at first don't worry about it as long as you can do it up. It will stretch out.

Thank you for chiming in! I am reading up on this thread and you have a beautiful collection! I did read that the lamb stretches out more than the calf. I did find the 40 super small to the point I couldn't zip it up. Therefore, I ordered the clean biker jacket, calf, in a 42 and found the body to fit along with the arms but it was super tight in my under arm area. The seller doesnt have a 44 so I ordered a 46 - may be better sized arm holes but worried the body may be too large. Ugggg, if only the arm holes were larger but I dont foresee that area stretching out

To south Floridians, there is a good amount of Rick Owens @ the Century 21 in Sawgrass for ladies. Leather jackets: moto and classic RO style, knit jackets, Lilies dresses, silk tunics/dresses, knit tops, a few pairs of knit leggings.

Hi guys!

I need your advice! I purchased a RO jacket (Koolaid with hood) from Ebay and received it today. It fits me perfectly and looks like new BUT there is a small rip under the left armpit! I left a message with the seller because it was certainly not disclosed in the description. I am attaching a picture of the problem. Do you think that I could mend that seam? I am annoyed that this was not disclosed, I wouldn't not have paid that price for a flawed jacket. But that hooded jacket is really cool. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think I could repair it? Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, not a hard repair. It's right at seam too...not big.

Hello all. Couple questions for you guys. Picked up a brand new (or at least it was listed as such) Rick leather mollino from eBay and that little piece of cloth at the bottom of the zipper is a bit tattered (no problem to provide pictures, if needed), though enough so to cause issues when trying to zip the jacket up. Is there an easy fix or would I need to get the entire zipper replaced? The seller recommended clear nail polish and though I wasn't sure if that would work or not, I assumed it's not a permanent fix. Any ideas?

Also, this is my first leather jacket from Rick. I have a few other leather jackets, one of which is from Epaulet and it uses Horween shell leather. The leather feels soft to the touch and it even looks "wet." Not sure how to describe it. Rick's feels stiff and feels and looks super dry. I was pretty shocked when I first handled it, as it felt like one of those cheap mall brand jackets. Is this because it's new and the leather will settle over time? Is it because it's old and needs to be conditioned? Something else, maybe? Would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks.

That'll always be a problem unless someone reinforces the weak-spot from the reverse side. That's a big non-disclosure but it also could be why they're 'passing it on'.

I decided to keep the jacket and I repaired it myself. So far so good and you can't tell. It was definitely a shady situation but the jacket is hard to find so I took my chances. Ebay is not for the faint of heart, no matter if you are the buyer or the seller!
