Rick Owens

[Beautiful Stranger]

So, say, i'm getting a women's one at 2000$, at 50% or even 60%. that would only be like 800-1000$ ?

Hey guys, if you're interested, there's a rick owens womens shearling in a size small at Barneys New York outlet in San Marcos, Texas for 600 dollars + and additional 25% off. It's assymetrically cut, has a fairly long swooshing back "tail" and is meant to be worn as a wrap around with velcro on the chest. google their address and give them a call if you want it! Its marked down from 3250.

has anyone ordered a ro leather jacket from luisa via roma? just wondering what your experience was like with the customs/duties/and the general quality of service? i ordered a biker jacket-- even though i live in ny getting ahold of one in my size is like winning the lottery!

 

[emma peel]

oh here's the jacket, pic emailed to me by a buyer

 

[just_me]

That jacket is amazing!! Which colour is it?

 

[emma peel]

its black but with grey fleece inside i believe

 

[Guessgirl96]

Its hard to tell from the pic but I think I have that one and I love it. Customs are a little bit high but luisaviaroma ships right away and you get it in about 2 days. They are all very nice, eager to help and have great customer service.

I sent my RO jacket back to them, I tracked it and they attempted delivery 4 times. Not sure whats going to happen now, I hope it doesnt get shipped back to me since shipping is so pricey to italy!! It's a little nervewracking

So I was looking at luisaviaroma.com.... I own this jacket: http://luisaviaroma.com/ecnew/Colle...dStagione=46I&CodCollezione=0EH&CodArticolo=1

but I bought it from Barneys on sale because it was from s/s 07... but on lvr they say it is f/w 07?? I dunno which season it's from now or weather LVR or Barneys is wrong

 

[emma peel]

guessgirl how is the sizing-- i've tried ro on and it's tiny-- generally i'd be a 40 in any normal brand but i ordered a 42. because of the hellish distance and hassle of italy as you described, i am worried!

(did you get two from lvr + are shipping one back?)

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

ohmygod, i love that jacket. does ANYONE have a bigger picture??

 

[MJCouture]

MarcJ-- Rick Owens does a varriation on that jacket often. I know that Barney's had it from the begining of Spring, and that he did it again for Fall (jeffrey just had one). Usually the leather is a little thicker for F/W, and he might change the buttons or something. Either way, with his classic cuts, you can not go wrong on sale, as just a month latter they'll have re-shipped at full price.

 

[Casius]

He's doing the same style again for S/S 08, in what I believe is cotton.

 

[marcj]

^ ahh sweet!! well im glad I got a classic then!

how is the sizing on the jackets?
i have some tanks and longsleeves from RO, can i expect to use the same size in the leather jackets?

 

[Casius]

I'm pretty sure it's the same for women as for men, in terms of fit, so I would say go one size up. The leathers always run really small.

 

[MJCouture]

^I think it depends on the jacket. I have tried on smalls in the past that were too big, and I have also tried on mediums that fit pretty well. The RO leather I have is a small, and it fits very slimly, but its not AS slim as some other smalls I've tried. I generally wear a small in every other designer (quite frankly, some smalls are still way too big on me). I would suggest that anyone whose considering a RO leather jacket try it on.

 

[Casius]

Yea it does depend on the style. MJ, that leather you have is one of the more roomier leathers from my experience.
For reference, I usually wear a medium or Large but I purchased an XL in one of his leather jackets. The measurements are 17" in the shoulder and 19" in the chest. These kinds of measurements usually equate to a medium or smaller large.
But I would agree, it's always better to try it on first. Or just make sure you can return the jacket if it doesn't fit right.

I am usually a 38 but 38 was sold out so I went with a 40. Although I think 38 would have been better 40 works too. I think these run just a tiny bit small. I got this last winter and just got another one about a month ag thats going back.

thanks peeps!

i will try it on, of course.. the leather jackets is due to arrive in oslo in august/september!

 

[dannyboii]
