Atmosphere: the vibramed sole won't be as noticeable while being worn. That style might be helpful if you are going to take them out in any snow or slush, and as jskidder1 suggests you could always have it removed.

Atmosphere: I have the same derby in black and I didn't vibram them then continuously wearing them for a year, even in some rainy days. Never wore them in snow though since I almost only wear boots in winter. The soles are still good as fuck... Guess this is what Simone means by "do not handle with care" I would definitely remove those vibram or change to some thiner ones...

Seeking advice on a Rick leather. Recently snagged this leather from Mr. Porter when they reposted last season stuff:
Got it in the mail, fits perfect and mollino is probably my fav. classic style but it's the reallly thin blistered leather from last summer. Pros are it drapes well, fits well and is a classic style. Cons are that it's so thin it's really only useful for spring/early fall. I don't have the money to have a closet full of Rick leathers, so I'm wondering what the Rick leather aficionados think. Are there much better leathers this season or coming in fall? I know only I can decide what works for me but just hoping for some feedback from ppl who have handled lots of Rick leathers whether this is a good choice or I should hold out for something else.
thanks!

I have that skin in a Stooges from the same season and it is more like a sweater in terms of warmth. Pro you can keep it on at dinner and I love the drape. Con it is not warm.Originally posted by DRRRKThe bridge from Dior to CCP being Rick Owens.

I recently bought a high neck Intarsia in the heavy blistered leather from A/W10 Gleam, lined with heavy jersey/sweatshirt fabric. I understand that this is as heavy as Rick's blistered leathers will ever get, and it's not actually warm at all. This winter there was this really heavy waxed nubuck, but it was way too stiff uncomfortable. Ultimately, a jacket with an almost cropped length is unlikely to protect you against the elements, no matter how heavy it is.ENDYMA / Archival fashion & Consignment

Relying on a leather jacket for any significant substantial warmth against deep cold is going to be a mistake no matter what brand you go with.
Without actual insulation material, it is only millimeters (really probably 3mm total between your body and the outside and that is for very thick leather) thick.
Rick has produced padded, insulated leather jackets that will function to keep you warm in moderate cold while still looking nice, but thinking that his regular-issue leather jackets (no matter how thick/stiff the hide is) with any lining sans insulation/padding will actually combat winter cold is being unrealistic.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

^I agree, definitely not looking to get a winter jacket out of any Rick leathers. My only dilemna is the one I'm considering is so thin it's not much more effective than a cotton cardigan. I'm not one to suffer and wear a jacket (even a very light one) in the heat of summer so I'm worried this weight of jacket won't get much use in my wardrobe if I hang onto it. Oh well, Mr. Porter gives you 28 days so I have some time to compare with other Rick leathers out there and decide haha.

i just picked up a blistered mollino from vicious. will wear it a ton, come spring/summer/fall, for sure, pretty much the same way i would wear a windbreaker, with several thin layers to adjust to temperature variations. blistered (and that thin calf whatever it's called) is much more versatile than my thicker leathers that only really work in colder temperatures.
in my opinion, if you only get one leather, you'll get the most wear out of a thinner one.

Agreed, I can use my go-to leather (blistered light weight calf Rick's jacket from several years ago) a majority of the year, its fairly warm with a thick sweater and good for summer with a t-shirt."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.
