Does anyone know how the glass ice effect (coating?) is achieved on RO leathers? It might be the most stunning treatment I've seen on a leather jacket ... ever.

here's a sample in black: http://www.forwardforward.com/fw/Dis...CK-MO25&d=Mens

and another in dark dust:

It reminds me of the metallic calf (LM) he has been using for a long time but in a bit more matte version. The metallic treatment was bad in my opinion...took very high quality leather and made it look cheap and PVC-ish almost.

This is a better version...the natural quality of the leather seems more apparent with this treatment. I haven't seen it in person but I'm guessing it might be enzyme washed or treated after a lacquer finish is applied so it keeps some of the sheen but loses the stiffness that the metallic calf seemed to have.

The metallic never made sense to me...spend thousands of dollars on amazing quality leather and then have it coated up to where it looks cheap and fake. The glass ice is an improvement but still not something I'd wear.

The "ice effect" is likely a glaze of some sort during washing treatment.

ONE OF THE REASONS I ALWAYS LIVED AROUND HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD WHEN I LIVED IN L.A. WAS THE ENERGY AND ALLURE OF THE PACKS OF WILD KIDS THAT LIVED ON THOSE STREETS THEN. THEY WERE SUCH A WORLD AWAY FROM THE SAFE CONSERVATIVE TOWN I’D COME FROM. THEY WERE RECKLESS, DYONYSIAN, ***NING, EXOTIC. THE COLOR THAT I CALL DRK SHDW COMES FROM THE LAYERS OF FADED ARMY SURPLUS CLOTHES AND BACKPACKS THEY DYED BLACK AND WORE. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I’D FEED ONE UNTIL IT LET ME PET IT BUT IT USUALLY ENDED UP BEING MORE TROUBLE THAN IT WAS WORTH. IT BECAME SATISFYING JUST WATCHING THEM PLAY AND WASH IN THE FOUNTAIN ON HIGHLAND AVE AND SUNSET BLVD WHEN I WOULD BE DRIVING HOME AT DAWN. THE MEMORY OF THOSE KIDS AND HOW I FELT ABOUT THEM IS WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHEN I DID THESE BAGS WITH EASTPAK.

All that the new york brats are missing is a $4k mink coat. So glad that gap has been filled now.

If there's a market for making your children look like Frank Lucas, someone's gonna take advantage of it at some point I guess.

Nice little quick read; didn't know about Design Days in Dubai.

Could you please, preferably in a few sentences, explain the thought process that went into this post which seems to be your first on this forum. I'm genuinely curious.

sure. being a fan of rap music since about the mid-90s, i've always had an affinity for its role in the cultural landscape, and growing up, was fortunate enough to witness its entrance and mainstay into popular culture. I take a big preference to southern/atlanta-based hip-hop (Outkast was and is favourite rap group ever) and am a fan of Future. I find it funny to see his crack-dealing subject matter and clear mixtape bad/good demeanour especially contrasted by how he's on the fucking Wendy Williams show. He rapped a song called "Move That Dope" for fucks sake.

To my knowledge he's never worn Rick anything before, so I was especially taken aback to see him wearing my favourite jacket from this year. I figured this being the Rick Owens thread it would be a relevant post.

Although this is my first post on SZ, I've been lurking this forum for close to 6 years now.

Thanks for your interest in why my first post was about a mixtape rapper. Enjoy your day!
