    size L or M. i think lowery mentioned the fits suck for rick leather on larger dudes. they tend to be narrow on the shoulders and wide on the pit for me..

      I wouldn't say the fits suck, but they are occasionally a bit off, at least for me. I have two leathers in L (one from FW09, one from SS10) and both are good otherwise but slightly wide in the mid-upper back. a smaller size would be too tight in the chest and shoulders, and I don't have a particularly narrow back either. oh well, I had my mollino tailored a bit and it fits good now

        i'd also like to add that rick leather jacket arms are really baggy for no apparent reason..

        here's an illustrated example with my own fit pics. the geo neck is probably one of the worst offenders. good shoulders, bad everything else. i have a mollino that fits better, but still not a keeper for me..

        and a julius that i never bought, but fits perfect, lol..

          A good tailor can make every jacket fit...literally. I also had slight modifications on my GEO, it's perfect now...

            Maybe there is a real difference bewteen different specific jackets and seasons...I have a medium rick geo neck from ss10 and i have to say:
            1) the leather (calf) is of a very nice quality, matt rather than shiny, and feels very thick/durable. I have no fear of an rips unless i really catch it on something...but then anything would rip in those circumstances
            2) the sleeves are actually very slim fitting with a nice small and tight arm hole......similar to a poell jacket..
            3) the body works in very nice proportion to the rest of the jacket - any smaller and I would have trouble zipping it up and I am a slim size 48...
            you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter...

              ^^ you and i bought the same jacket. i think you probably have more upper body muscles and i'm out of shape..

                  /\ why not ask the guy in the picture?

                  personally, i did not like it at all. awkward pockets, awkward lapels, awkward sleeves. another example of grandma's new clothes.

                    Haha E, yeah the guy in the pic should know...;)

                    the prob is that he is totally unsure..so he needs more input...;)
                    this is really no subtle marketing thingy!

                      agree with you on this one, Faust.
                      it's really unflattering, awkward, looks like a total failure...
                      his simple anatomical jackets are so much better than this complicated design.

                      but grandma FW10 has also his share of hits,
                      and his hits are possibily the best i've seen so far for fall winter

                        yes, agreed with faust and bsr on this one. i can see where he's trying to go, but it's a bit complicated, the lines conflict awkwardly for me, i think a slightly darker color would work better. fwiw.

                          S-A, try to find this one. it looks much nicer than the one which the dude's wearing in that pic to me. i sold my grey/green m.a+ leather shirt for this (was in-stock in size 44 & 46). i didn't regret doing that at all:

                            yep, maybe this last one is better
                            but i don't get this construction
