      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) ?

            here's a handy guide:

            the best ro leather is the one you currently have until you get the next one, which becomes the best most substantial ro leather

                              minimalism is ur friend then. i'd put my stuff towards the middle of rooms and then just enjoy the free space around it. a big room with only a few things in it doesn't have to seem empty if those things are arranged with a sense of order and attention to detail. course, having kids could screw up any such plans.

                              anyhoo, getting back to leathers - u happen to know what the LE code is for?
