Leather jackets: Rick Owens vs. Julius

[Lohikaarme]

nuke is good quality, sturdy, you wont see any destroyed deerskin or cashmere blends tho, more heavy duty synthetic materials, waterproof stuff, etc. ykk zips on the older models, riri on some of the newer ones. lots of jeans and graphic tees too but dont own any of those

Interesting. How do you find such pieces? I imagine searching "NUKE" or the related Japanese phrase wouldn't bring up much on Yahoo Auctions?

Hi, Jumping in very late like 10 years late lol, I'm a professional Jockey so vertically challenged and only weigh 120lb I love both jackets and looking to purchase one or the other, Considering my height which jacket or what designer of leather high end jackets would you choose being 5.4ft! Thx

[Faust]

Julius, if you can find one. Sleeves are much shorter.

Hi Faust, If I was looking for a Julius to fit my 125lb 5.4ft frame which one do you think would look good & I do like RO as looking at a RU 14F2760 that I like but thinking the arm length and total length might make me look shorter, So my question is what tis the shortest RO or do you think Julius is the way to go since I'm only 5ft.4. Cheers Mark.

Julius rider jackets are great. RO jackets with ribbed cuff sleeves, so you can bunch them up. Otherwise, you'll need to find a good tailor to shorten the sleeve from the shoulder.

well it all depends on your body type

All we've talked about is body type in the last four posts.

Hi, I own a RO high neck and love the leather and fit, Looking to purchase a 09 to 2012 Julius but my ? is are all Julius leather men's jackets treated or washed to look almost gray like as looking for a dark black Julius?

[Spidersfrommars]

Hi Faust, Are all Julius leather men's jackets washed or treated to look worn as looking for a Julius that is black black like a RO. Cheers

[Faust]

I believe a lot of them were washed, but they were pretty jet black. Maybe hard to find a used one that hasn't been worn out.

[billfisher]

Yes, it seems to me that it's impossible to affect the material in such a way that it doesn't wash out.

[Lohikaarme]

Strip the finishing, re-dye it, and condition the jacket and it'll look shiny and black as ever (or just have a professional do it for you).

From iconic leather pieces like pants, jackets, and trench coats to modern must-haves, including dresses, shorts, and two-piece sets, there are too many options available in leather stylish clothing. Anyone can order leather clothes online with free shipping.

Rick Owens and Julius leathers are two designers who have a cult following for their avant-garde and dark aesthetic. I love their pieces and find them timeless, while others can find them over-the-top and too fashion-forward. It's hard to say who's right - there's no right or wrong answer!
