    thinking about buying a Rick flight bomber and wanted some guidance on the difference between the mainline and drkshdw versions. looking for something lightweight (and slim fitting), not sure if there is much difference between the FW and SS cotton/nylon jackets.

The price when selling outside europe is without tax (it's mentioned on the site), which at least in theory you need to pay when importing the goods to the US along with customs fees. Whether or not you get charged for those probably depends mostly on luck. Additionally you need to pay shipping which I imagine makes the price fairly close to the same.

      Also, its worth considering if you want to try the clothes on, if you want to wait for shipping, and if you want to deal with overseas returns in case it doesn't work out (with this particular store, you probably don't...)

      I'm not saying buying online or overseas is a big deal or should be avoided, but there is more to it than the price you see listed somewhere.
      Oh yes that's true, it makes sense.
      Well I guess I will stick with buying garments at their flagship haha

        iirc mainline usually comes with nices materials (goose feathers instead of polyester padding, etc.)

          How are this Rick current side zip creeper boots(http://www.rickowens.eu/en/men/products/ru14f2851lge-09) stack up to the 09 (?) version of it? im in market for one and wondering about fitting and leather quality.

          Also...boots from DEVOA any good? I have no experience DEVOA but their current offering pique my interest.

          thanks in advance!

            Anyone know if rick and boris have the same sizing in regards to leather jackets? I have the feeling rick is smaller?

              I don't have my old creepers any more so I can't be too accurate. IMO the new creepers run a FULL size big.

                I wear 3 sizes in Rick leathers depending on cut and season, so difficult to compare. I suppose you could generally say both fit small, but that doesn't tell much.

                  there is no such 'general rule' except maybe for mountain/island

                    thanks, looking more for a S/S weight jacket though.

                      this is so wrong it's crazy. Since fw11 i believe rick took 44/xs out of the tags, so sz 46 is the smallest size which means 46 is xs/44, and 48 is a small/46, 50 is a med/48, so everything starts there, except for coats maybe.. but if ur a small and u buy a 46 I promise u u will be screwed. drkshdw sizing is still normal though. Though generally 1/2 size big, pants and jackets.

                          it's simple, Rick still makes xs stuff he just marks it different, how hard is that to understand. Not even sure why shucks is just sabotaging people w/ this kind of wrong advice. He's a 48 if I remember correctly he bought the same blazer i had bought the hustler in a 50 because he's a48 and i bought it in a 48 because i'm a 46.
                          W/ pants it's different because of the drwstrings i think most 46 30inch waist people should get the 46 though 48 can work as well..

                          Seriously i've had probably more rick leathers than most and i've only ever worn Small except the earlier stuff, fw09 and earlier some of that i wore xs. But if i had to wear a mollino it would have to be a med/50 because that one's weird.

                                An alternative to this sizing debate which varies by each persons body is to actually go try the piece on. Or just use a fully returnable site like yoox or farfetch to try out sizing. Buying from darklands and not knowing if the item fits sounds like a horrid idea!
