Just to note, there are a LOT of RO counterfeits out there, particularly the shoes, but all across the popular items. Please be careful if buying online from anyone not established and trusted.

Hi Quellefromage
I’m pretty sure the shop I got it from is trustworthy and I think looking at the details compared to pics on here that my jacket is ok. If you or anyone else could give me a second opinion though for peace of mind that would be fantastic and very much appreciated (it was your photo in the Hermes and edgy outfits thread that made me want a Rick Owens jacket in the first place!!)
Hi there! I am no authenticator, but I happen to be wearing a similar jacket right now and yours looks fine. I think shoes are the worst offenders. I have seen a lot of fake Geobaskets and yep, they make fake sock boots also.View attachment 4062408 View attachment 4062409 View attachment 4062411 View attachment 4062412 View attachment 4062415
Hi Quellefromage
I am bad, I have four RO jackets and want another!
Ah thank you
It’s nice to get an opinion from someone who has one (or four!). I absolutely love your dark green one. I think I may ‘need’ a darker coloured one for autumn, dark grey in an ideal world!
Got this jacket from a group buying site here in Australia for a too-goo-to-be-true price.
It says "sample sale" though.
I'll post the jacket when it arrives -- hopefully it's authentic!

Here are pictures. Could someone help me with authenticity?
I can’t find the care tags.
Size is just L. No numbers.

Hoping someone can help me authenticate before the return window closes. I got two versions of the classic biker: one in blistered lamb that has been authenticated and another from ebay that I'm concerned about. The signature doesn't look quite right to me (the R isn't as thick on the left as I think it should be), it's missing seams on the front and there are no seams on the forearms like the one I know is authentic. The wool inserts are also much thinner. Lastly, the sleeve linings in the questionable one are white. I don't know if these differences are just due to it being an earlier season, or if I have a fake on my hands. If it's fake is a really good one, but this is my first Rick Owens, and I can't bear the thought of it being a fake. I love them both, but I like that the questionable one is thinner and how it drapes. It fits slightly bigger and is about an inch longer than the other one. I paid the same price for both of them, but the questionable one is in pristine condition while the other has obvious signs of wear. Any help is greatly appreciated!
It looks absolutely fine to me. As you said, there are seasonal variations, not only in stitching but also in leather thickness, length, zipper brand, thickness and knit of the inserts, linings, etc. The white lining in the sleeves is nothing to worry about. I have more jackets with white lining than with black.Hoping someone can help me authenticate before the return window closes.

I realize this post is dated ... however, I just happened to stumble upon it while researching something and please know it is totally cool and more than OK to wash Rick's leather jackets. I have known him since 1989 before he became the "Rick" everyone knows. He always washed his leathers and I do the same. Cold Wash, Gentle, Lie Flat to dry. Leather cleaners will totally screw up Rick's treated leathers. Hope this helps.
Thanks for this! I have a preowned blistered lamb jacket in pearl that was very slightly musty smelling and had slightly grubby cuffs and a small ink stain on the wool part of the sleeve. As it was older and fairly reasonably priced I popped it in the washing machine on a delicate cycle yesterday and thought I’d risk it. I rubbed a little delicate detergent on the ink stain and cuffs before I put it in. Well, 30 hours later and it’s dry, smells clean and no ink stain or dirty cuffs!! Fingers crossed the leather will be ok longer term as it must have dried out some, but for now it looks great!
That's amazing! I would have never thought you could do this.
