Leather jackets: Rick Owens vs. Julius
Collapse

I'm a proportionate 36/37" chest and love the fit of Julius leather. To me, Julius and Obscur leather jackets fit tight and well. Rick jackets fit well from mid 2000s collections, but haven't enjoyed his fits of recent seasons. Sometimes they are of course designed to be a little looser, but on a slim frame (even with some muscle) leather just doesn't look proportionate unless you have a EU 50 / US 40 chest or bigger. At least IMO.
So Julius wins hands down for me and I have 4 leather jackets by Tatsuro and only knits by RO. Gotta love how much finishing Julius jackets have and the stitching is immaculate.

Two more questions:
1.Rick Owens Leather Code, this is what I found on SZ and compiled for myself:
LB: unwashed calf
LM: metallic calf
LS: silky lambskin
LC: washed lambskin
LF: fading lambskin
LO: oiled calfleather
LSH = Lamb Shearling
LNB = blistered leather on neoprene
LP: Distressed Sheep Skin
LR: Regular Smooth Leather <----- Calf or lamb???
What about LE ? As in SS10 Mollino from blackbird
cross-post from here, is my work-in-progress on rick codes. LE is not in it yet... (again, lowrey, is there a way to stick this somewhere more visible since it keeps coming up in various threads?)
LB: blistered lamb
LB: unwashed calf (not confirmed)
LBO: box/-ed calf
LC: washed lamb (not confirmed)
LF: fading/-ed (gradient) lamb
LG: full grain lamb (not confirmed?)
LG: washed lamb (not confirmed)
LK: kangaroo
LKG: kangaroo (washed / full grain ?)
LM: metallic calf
LO: oiled calf
LP: hammered lamb
LS: silky lamb
LSH: shearling lamb
LR: 'regular' lamb?
LNB: some sort of blistered (combined with fabric)?
LZ: ?
LV: vegetable dyed lamb ?
LGAO - 'giove lamb' / oiled calf ?
COM: from archives it looks like a two-tone blistered treatmet (combined with fabric) ?
