rick high collar is the best leather of all time, just love it so much, never giving it up, no puerto rican is ever gonna pry it from my hands.


yeah i tried one recently and it was the first f/w weight of his i'd seen (calf i think). whole different ballgame. actually felt worth the price tag.

and the funny thing is the last few seasons blow ass leather wise. Older season ones are amazing, not just in leather quality but in design. Can't wait for this fall to see how the bauhaus is, even though the sleeves have snaps...:fu:

well, some are excusable like the blistered lamb, but even fw10 blistered was a thicker leather. My SS11 blistered is lightish, but its how I want it to be.

how is your two tone? is it blisterered?


wish I could snag a oiled calf berger, regret selling mine for this lamb one, unfortunately the oiled calf was XS and couldnt fit comfortably. it was the juiciest leather besides the aw10 gleam, it was just all around ******* nice.

Design aside, that Dior leather is like 3 times thicker than the Rick I briefly had & the way the leather is sewn into the lining is just so much nicer. The Rick was from spring 2010 though.

Thatguymj, saw your comment on my tank post, any advice on sizing? I'm usually a small but want it to fit more relaxed for summer. Medium?

I still think about that jacket I tried on at RO NYC. Fit was perfect.


dude, buy it, it looked good on you for real. That collar looks great especially. You tried it at IF, though lol

I would get the Clarks for 90$. They look almost identical and they are still perfectly good looking desert boots imo.
