It's authentic. If you have not tried on RO jackets before I would recommend asking for measurements because they run small to size, but do vary a bit between different types of leather. This particular style has a high waist, which makes it a more difficult fit than the classic biker if you have a long torso. I'm tall and unfortunately can't wear this style because the narrowest part of the jacket hits me at the widest part of my rib cage. It just doesn't look (or feel) right.

It's authentic.

Thanks! I have not tried a RO jacket before (nor have I seen one in person) and I am a bit on the tall side (5'8") but I don't have a long torso - but I guess this might not be the best style for me if it's high waist.

Thank you so much!

You can see the horizontal stretch line on the back in the pictures, that's the problem area for me (and for the seller, it seems). You could ask the seller for measurements from the shoulder to that line, as well as the circumference along that line to be sure that it works with your torso.

Asked the seller for measurements. Thanks! Would you say this style will look good on uhm flat-chested or large-chested?

Generally speaking RO designs fit better on not too busty women but for the leather jackets it really depends on how you want to wear it. If you want to zip it up there is room for a small to medium bust but if you have a bigger chest zipping it all the way up would probably not be comfortable. Some women choose to zip it up to just below the bust and fold open the collars, whereas others choose not to zip it up at all.

I will have no problem then! Still waiting for the measurements from the seller but she says it's equivalent to an Australian 14. Which is a US10 I think. Is $800 a good price for this?

Based on the horizontal stretch line in the back I believe it was worn more often than the one time stated in the item description. Knowing that, price is very subjective. I have personally only bought NWT jackets, but the quality is certainly good enough to survive many years and multiple owners. Still, imo the size is the most important factor because you simply won't be comfortable if it's too tight. They do stretch a bit with wear but I've never found them to be true to size. The vast majority of my RO clothes is 1-2 sizes up from my regular size.

You could try the label finder.

Thank you for the help. Now I am having second thoughts because my weight goes up and down. Waiting for the measurements from the seller.

Hi Ladies and gents, I’ve just received today my first RO Jacket, preowned at a very reasonable price so decided to bite the bullet! Thankfully it fits really well and from reading through this thread I understand it is blistered lamb. It’s in the colour pearl which will be lovely for summer but can anyone tell me please how fragile this leather is and if I should be terrified of rain?! I don’t intend to wear it in the rain but this is the UK and unexpected showers can happen when you least expect them! Also if anyone knows the style or year from the label that would be really helpful too. I’m hoping to find another in the same style and size but a darker colour for autumn. Thank you

Nice!

Personally I would spray it with protector - I've sprayed all my RO jackets (and actually anything leather or suede I buy). It helps a lot and doesn't make any difference to the appearance or feel. I would especially for a light colour like that. It's not just rain, other things could splash on there and you don't want to be worrying about it all the time.

Thank you I have some collonil water stop spray that I’ve used on other things before, I’ll try a little on an inconspicuous area and check what happens. The Jacket isn’t immaculate anyway, but pretty good and I paid £245 with postage so as long as it’s authentic it was a bit of a bargain!
