thinking about buying a Rick flight bomber and wanted some guidance on the difference between the mainline and drkshdw versions. looking for something lightweight (and slim fitting), not sure if there is much difference between the FW and SS cotton/nylon jackets.

Originally posted by lowrey View Postyou are talking about European goods being sold in EU vs US, of course there is a difference. The price when selling outside europe is without tax (it's mentioned on the site), which at least in theory you need to pay when importing the goods to the US along with customs fees. Whether or not you get charged for those probably depends mostly on luck. Additionally you need to pay shipping which I imagine makes the price fairly close to the same.
Also, its worth considering if you want to try the clothes on, if you want to wait for shipping, and if you want to deal with overseas returns in case it doesn't work out (with this particular store, you probably don't...)
I'm not saying buying online or overseas is a big deal or should be avoided, but there is more to it than the price you see listed somewhere.
Well I guess I will stick with buying garments at their flagship haha

How are this Rick current side zip creeper boots(http://www.rickowens.eu/en/men/products/ru14f2851lge-09) stack up to the 09 (?) version of it? im in market for one and wondering about fitting and leather quality.
Also...boots from DEVOA any good? I have no experience DEVOA but their current offering pique my interest.

I don't have my old creepers any more so I can't be too accurate. IMO the new creepers run a FULL size big.

it's simple, Rick still makes xs stuff he just marks it different, how hard is that to understand. Not even sure why shucks is just sabotaging people w/ this kind of wrong advice. He's a 48 if I remember correctly he bought the same blazer i had bought the hustler in a 50 because he's a48 and i bought it in a 48 because i'm a 46.
W/ pants it's different because of the drwstrings i think most 46 30inch waist people should get the 46 though 48 can work as well..
Seriously i've had probably more rick leathers than most and i've only ever worn Small except the earlier stuff, fw09 and earlier some of that i wore xs. But if i had to wear a mollino it would have to be a med/50 because that one's weird.

An alternative to this sizing debate which varies by each persons body is to actually go try the piece on. Or just use a fully returnable site like yoox or farfetch to try out sizing. Buying from darklands and not knowing if the item fits sounds like a horrid idea!
