Yes or No?

I've always preferred the blistered in look, but are you suggesting its warmer than non-blistered?

I don't think there is much of a difference

edit: at least not in this particular jacket/leather..

The FW10 Blistered Intarsia came slightly padded , not unlike upholstery fabric underlining with the material fused to it.
was kinda warm!

[kunk75]

yes this is true my blistered leathers are all much warmer than typical rayon lined rick

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.

Random question, but did your leather come with the Lou Reed lyric on the inside? I could have sworn I read something about that in a preview of the collection last summer.

I'm leaning toward the grey-brown version, to get some other shades in my mostly black wardrobe. Can anyone who's seen this in person comment on how true the color in the first image is? Or should I just go with the black version?[/quote]

fireflygrave, the grey brown colour is a great deviation from an all black look imo. Ink has it at 50% off as well as some more pics for reference.

[fireflygrave]

Yeah, I was going to grab it from ink since they still have it in my size. Have you (or anybody) bought from Ink before? Anything to know or look out for? I assume from the way their website is laid out that I don't need a proxy or anything.

I've bought a number of things from Ink shipped to the USA, and their shipping service is extremely fast (usually arriving within 4 business days), and they mark everything down for customs. I've never been hit with any additional fees.

Seeking advice on a Rick leather. Recently snagged this leather from Mr. Porter when they reposted last season stuff:

https://www.mrporter.com/product/336755

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!

late pass but I have a blistered bullet jacket from the same season and love the leather. as lightweight as a lot of fabric jackets and the texture is fantastic (I liked it better than the other Rick blistered leathers I've handled) even if it doesn't really feel like classic leather. the blistered leather and the classic paper thin smooth lambskin he used for creatch make for the perfect spring/summer leather.

what is sz's collective opinion on the rick owens flight bomber.



padded, unpadded, all varietals.

i for one am pro-bomber. i think its a classic. kinda tough and masculine. and dark. and utterly usable. like a true basic, it can be worn all the damn time. but its pricey. maybe too pricey for what it is...

what y'all think...?

[IALAB]

Love that bomber. Looks really, really good. What's the damage?

[Castor]

Pro bomber camp but wish the padded version was a bit warmer. Love mine though.

[newp]

I don't have the build for the bomber. It's too tight in chest or too bulky, and I mean TOO BULKY in the stomach. Tried several versions on, sighed, went for something else.

On the right person it will look masculine and how should I say it? Serious?

[unwashed]

Used to wear army bombers all the time 15 years ago. Those were practically the same without the designer name behind it. I just cannot justify the pricetag on RO bombers... yet

I want a bomber as well, but nowadays prefer a nonpadded slimfit bomber like the drkshdw bombers or Damir's version.
