Faust, or anybody, there is an almost exact version of that RIck Owens shearling available at the Barneys New York outlet at San Marcos, TX. The price I checked was 600, down from 3500, with an additional 25% off. I couldn't think of anybody that would want an asymmetrical swooshy RO shearling, so I didnt grab it. Im fairly sure they ship. Google them and give them a call if you're interested! The leather was like butter and it was an absolutely gorgeous piece. It fit like a women's small, probably a 36 or 38

Holy mother of crying baby jesus! [<:o)] Someone needs to buy this on principle! Too bad it's too small for Mrs. Faust.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. It was a little tight on me, and I have a size 34 chest. The weight was really nice, it was a heavenly shearling. The way the jacket is worn is by having the two asymmetrical halves closed by a velcro patch in the middle. The effect looks nearly identical to the picture you showed; waistlength in the back, and beautiful drapery around the sides
Their number is 5123927711. This is a Rick Owens shearling that's cut almost identical to the one faust posted, in a size 38.
I just paid 1200 for a Rick Owens, and that price kind of blows my mind to be honest. If it wasn't such a straight up feminine piece I would have tried to make it work. Gorgeous, gorgeous. Maybe Laika would like it?
has anybody ever handled the various leathers Rick uses for his jackets? Atelier informed me that they come in a super soft washed calf, a stiff calf leather, and then the stiffest leather which is horsehide. Does anybody have any familiarity with the stiff calf and horsehide, and know how they affect the fit of the jacket? All i've ever tried on were the ultra soft/thin ones.
I have the stiff calf on my leather jacket and it's great, not quite as stiff as say, the CCP leathers, but it's a nice in between leather. It also gives it more of a rugged look, which I prefer. The soft ones are exquisite though, if I ever bought another leather jacket, it would be one of those leathers.

I saw some very stiff biker jackets from this season - not a fan. Besides with them, the whole idea of bunching up doesn't work well, it would seem, so you'd need to be tall like Casius.
