Women's Sizing

[rider]

i think a 42 in the drawstring pod shorts style would b fine. but they will be shorter than the mens on you.

Hello Ladies,
Please excuse me creeping over from the other side!

Currently in need of some Rick Owens shorts, I have a 29" waist, mens XS all sold out so am contemplating some from the womens line. Would a 42 be suitable, Rick Owens main line?

Thanks

You have to size down at least one size, if not two. Most, if not all, of DRKSHDW jeans have elastine and they will stretch.

Thanks for the help! I'll try sizing down one and see what happens.

Is there a great difference in sizing between 40 & 42 in a RO leather jacket? I'd normally go for the 40, however they only have a 42 left. Just concerned the body will be too big for me!

As far as I know, there is a bit of a discernible difference when sizing up, especially on the waist if it's a tight-fitting jacket

I wouldn't be too worried. Of course at your own risk - does the store have a return policy?

I'm going to buy my girlfriend a pair of DRKSHDW jeans, but I'm not sure how women's fit. Her actual waist measurement is 25.5" and her hips are 36". Pants that fit her are about 13.5" laid flat. Any ideas on what size DRKSHDW jeans she would wear? Thanks!

Thank you again for your assistance Rider :)

try barneys and net a porter. sales on.
they run small so i would say a 38 maybe 40, nap will have measurements to be sure though, they are a great reference.

Yet another fit/sizing question for you knowledgeable women...

the classic Rick jacket



What tagged size best fits a 0-2?

And short of ebay... any place to pick this up for under $1500? It's almost Xmas :)

Thank you all again!

M,

Please tell me you are not speaking from experience.........

Yohji+Noir is lovely for jackets--amazing tailoring and beautiful quality-- but iirc, your fiance is pretty tiny, yes? If she prefers fitted clothing, yohji might be difficult.

I think Black Fleece is a great alternative for classic, slightly boyish cuts...quality and shape of both shirts and suits is great.
and it's definitely cut slim--not quite shrunken, but almost-- so a zero should be perfect. Nice price point too, and they have good sales...

maybe also have a look at Band of Outsiders Boy?

[Chinorlz]

A belated thank you Laika as well for your recommendations :) Will look into all of those!

Thank you Rider for the good pointers. Is Y's for women more drapey or is it classically crisp and structured? I don't have a lot of experience with Yohji's work admittedly and even less so with the womens.

^ hmmm, it can go both ways, i guess its no surprise that he can successfully mix it up better than most. i looked at both y's and +noir for you and it seems that crisp traditional cuts are more prevalent in +noir this season. i hope you have it available near you because some of his lines are so hard to find stateside.

i saw these, maybe they fit the bill?
