      the question to ask is what do you do when the wireless panel malfunctions or cant be found.....

        There's an emergency off switch that you need a screwdriver to get to. Without that though...

              Just received what I thought was Faun SS15 Sternberg in Lamb from Farfetch only to have actually received Faun Sternberg in Kangaroo. Seems like a mistake from them.

              Anyone have any experience with this leather? The jacket is thin as paper (even thinner than the lamb glass ice) and light as a feather. Almost seems too delicate.

                Well, unless the leather's too thin for your purposes climate-wise I'd definitely prefer kangaroo over lamb in most cases. Personally I think you might've lucked out but I also tend to fetishize rarer materials a bit.

                  Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking. Might just keep it as a nice luxe piece to wear. Just wasn't sure if there are varying types of kangaroo or if I need to be extra careful with this. My main concern is the leather not being able to withstand a lot of tension, but maybe its stronger than it appears.

                  I also noticed farfetch tagged this as LR when in fact the jacket is actually LAR and apparently this isn't allowed to be shipped out of the EU

                    kangaroo leather is tough as shit. the thickness (or thin-ness) is deceiving. have had my RO roo leather intarsia for over 5 years now and no signs of wear.

                        Pretty sure if you paid lamb price for kangaroo, you made out like a bandit on this one.

                            Roo is allowed to be thin. Highest tensile strength leather, as far as I remember. Consider yourself having won a minor lottery.

                              plus the lamb has a hand like baking paper imo... hard to imagine the roo being worse
                              Suede is too Gucci.

                                I don't want to derail the thread, but a few things sort of concerned me..

                                The doesn't quite stick out like other rick products where there is ample length in the two tabs and the garment tag sort of dangles. they're sort of stitched right onto the seam.



                                also, 2095 EU roughly translates into 2300 USD which seems awfully inexpensive for kangaroo at list price. Thats lamb pricing for sure.



                                A few more pictures to show the thinness and leather. I don't have much experience with Rick Kangaroo but to me this smells and feels like other lamb products.




                                Thanks for your help everyone.
