alright, so i went for the two-tone RO leather in XS.its almosttoo slim. and thearms are ridiculous. think... of ron jeremy, wearing a condom from taiwan or something. they're THAT tight. and since a good portion of the arms are ribbed, im thinking they wont stretch enough to accomodate my apparently fat arms.

i've never even owned a leather jacket! do the arms generally stretch alot (like, an inch)? i'd hate to have to exchange fora small again, but i will if i have to. for $3000, shit has to be perfect.

I feel your pain Chris. I exchanged my Rick jacket twice (a medium for what I thought was a roomier medium) and still didn't get it right. The bottom line is that I needed a large. The difference between sizes this season is super subtle - an inch at most across the various dimensions - so you can safely size up for a more comfortable feel without losing the streamlined fit. You still have the receipt right?

this is why one shouldn't shop drunk, everything looks/fits spot on :(

Re: ahhhhhhhhhhh

Chris- From the way you described the fit on the small and looking at the picture, I would say it fit you the best it's going to.

Re: ahhhhhhhhhhh

I saw Chris' jacket at barneys yesterday and was wondering for a second why bh had ro. If it were my size I would have had my buddy scoop it up for nearly 50 off [74]

Just bought this one with the standard collar...my preferred choice (whereas I have a FW version with the moto style one).

It's the most beautiful lamb leather I've ever touched.

Buy it with what ever collar: you will love it!

Re: RO leather jacket



thanks for the advice iSuck and JohnFG, you've convinced me that I should get one with the standard collar.

one other small detail, could I get your opinions on whether I should get the version with leather cuffs and back ribbing, or the version with ribbed cuffs and all leather at the back? I am currently leaning towards the version with the ribbed cuffs, as I don't know if the back ribbing would look as good as the all leather version. Any thoughts on look, durability etc.?

leather cuffs and back ribbing:

ribbed cuffs, full leather back:

Re: RO leather jacket

Ribbed cuffs for sure.

..."I am currently leaning towards the version with the ribbed cuffs, as I don't know if the back ribbing would look as good as the all leather version." ... that's exactly why I bought this version. Didn't like the back ribbing. The ribbed cuffs work well in summer: you can just chop them up :)

Re: RO leather jacket

im hoping to find one with leather cuffs and all leather at back. dont know if its just me, but the ribbed cuffsare kinda uncomfortable when i wear it on a warm day.
