Please do, dorien. The store hadn't opened yet when I was in NY in June so I'm looking forward to visiting when I go back in the fall.

So I feel like the time has come for to me finally invest in a leather jacket and rick owens is the one for me! The only problem is I'm not sure whether my first one should be solely leather or perhaps get one that has shearling for winter etc..I want to be able to wear it all times and I'm worried that if it has fur it might be too warm?

jemenfiche:
it depends on a lot of factors... there are leather jackets for winter and for spring/summer. I have a leather jacket that has its lining in a soft fleece, whereas the ss version of it is lined in a light cotton/acetate material. mine is pretty warm, but the unlined ones/lined in light materials are good for layering as opposed to 'covering up'.

a shearling is definitely warm, the ones i've touched are very heavy. I would get it only because the cold season lasts a long time where I live and it would be worth it

finally, it depends on the price, because shearlings are almost double the price of leathers!

 

[LetThemEatCake]

shearling's are generally $3100. that's what my RO shearling was. i've never seen a leather under $3000?

the outside of the boutique is my favorite. I think we in L.A. should have been first though. Photo from curbednetwork.com

I thought leathers were around 1200-1300 euro and shearlings around 2500?

I dont know about euro prices as i got mine here in L.A. but it was $3095 before taxes, mind you.

ok so i just got back,
didn't get anything because i just wasn't impressed with the men's collection
it was ok, tried on a few things here and there. i didn't care for the jackets or the pants...and the rest just seemed to basic.

i got so bored i started trying on some of the girls stuff...
the SA was so cool, she said if it fits you
i'm a size 40 in girls...good to know huh?

here are some pics as promised.

 

[dorien]

i liked the top but it was kind of too femme on me, gee i wonder why

the SA was showing me all these ways to wear it

i like the pull over with a wide neck
that i think i could actually pull off
i looked good in it.

price tag $1,000.....
yeah i think i should be buying a suit instead.
