i've been growing tired of the leathers i have, and looking through Mr.porter's sale on Rick Owens leathers (50-70% off leathers )had me thinking about picking one up while they were cheap this summer.
i'm looking for something somewhat slim fitting. something that can be worn over a button up shirt and a tie. im a size 50-52, so im too big for the Japanese brands (julius leathers are slim fitting, and even a 4 is much too small)
I tried on the Rick Owens Intarsia, and liked everything but the fabric cuffs? what ware they called? and i do not think it would look great if i had my tailor simply take a seam ripper to them.
Before anyone recommends the Maison Martin Margiela 5zip that's currently on sale at neiman marcus (for $2090) i already have the exact same one in a winter weight calf. and im just tired of it.
Im not a fan of the TOJ leathers promoted here, and i have a few personal qualms with the poster who runs the brand. I prefer not to go there and lets just pretend the option just doesn't exist.
Before i get linked to the leather jacket thread, keep in mind i am prohibited from posting in that thread.
this is a version of the jacket i tried on with the cuffs removed via photoshop, that would be my ideal jacket if the sleeves were slightly longer to make up for the removed cuffs
