Toasty: I have a slim fitting leather jacket that I had to size up on in order to fit my arms, chest and shoulders (I'm a bit built from gym), but the sleeves were too long like yours. I had a tailor taper the lower arm and it allowed it to stack and no longer was extending past my knuckles. That's something you could try if you don't mind altering the jacket.

toasty, get a white 5-zip



50% off at MrPorter.


I actually had the 44 reserved and I think someone returned it so it is on hold for 24hours for me, too late though, I already got mine. So if anyone is looking for that size, it might return to the website by tomorrow unless it goes to the next person who has it reserved.

RO just dropped off at the USPS this morning... should have gotten to me earlier =\

I like the 5-zip but my credit is a bit tied up at the moment and I don't feel like splurging. It was a good experience trying more RO on though FWIW

Using Lenny Kravitz to illustrate how RO looks good on a 40 year old is akin to me saying angel wings and diamond encrusted bras look good on 40 year old moms (Heidi Klum)
^I loled so hard.

Kravitz from a 2010 concert in Oakland

^ he looks so uncomfortable there and the entire outfit just doesn't look or feel right... it's like he is constipated or being squashed by an imaginary weight on top of his head and he is trying to push up.

You're never too old to be well dressed, or have an interest in clothing. Particular styles lend themselves to different age brackets, but that shouldn't limit you. If you've got the swag, then why not?

While I couldn't see my dad wearing avant garde clothing, i can see him wearing an A2 leather quite easily at his age and beyond

Yea, that's what I should of been looking for, styles that suit specific ages I guess.
