for some reason, i always thought the hammered leather was rigid, at leaset the pictures look that way to me, never handled though...
i've owned several types and here is what i can tell you
oiled calf - very very thick and durable, also smooth with a rubbery feel to it. most substaintial leather i have felt, but too thick for me.
washed lamb - thing, with slight sheen. good for spring or cool temperatures. i really like the more delicate feel to it.
sheep skin - super soft and supple
normal calf - very thick and durable as well, not the rubbery feeling to it
distressed lamb (from the gradient i believe) - flaky leather, gets destroyed easily (intentional), ages well if you like the destroyed lookcalvinc - "Found this place and omg the people here are so cool and they dress super ultra mega well!"

^yes, some of the thin leathers feel like fashiony jackets but the oiled intarsia i have is probably like 7lbs and feels like a truly substantial jacket. i just got the stooges in oiled leather too and love it, great understated everyday jacket. I think that makes 8 now, which is probably overkill but I like having a range of textures to choose from.
I have to say, I really don't understand the move recently away from RO. I could wear nothing but rick forever despite the occasion or circimstances and be totally happy.

yeah the stooges is beyond classic
I't will never go out of style and is like bringing a loaded gun to a knife fight. it's in another league above all the other east village brandos
yeah w Rick the "fashion" experience is pretty standard. you can roll in and shop and walk out with something you love and will wear a lot, reward yourself for working hard. the basic formula for why this stuff is a fun hobby
I sort of remembered how nice that is after all the xxx weirdness.
Rick doesn't try and assert his power over you from the cradle to the grave, he just emboldens you with his power in a clean transaction, a generous exchange.One wonders where it will end, when everything has become gay.

yeah kunk i have this cycle where i always come back to rick when i get frustrated with other designers. i had to accept that a lot of it doesn't work for me for whatever reason but there is still plenty that does. it is also a lot easier to wear than some of my other favorites.dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective
