***The Official Rick Owens Thread***

[Not Ready]

My issue is their "violet" is more like brown. Nice find though.

Allegedly it will keep changing in time and become more violet. I would love that, but I'm perfectly happy even if they stay like this. The texture and feel of the leather is amazing.

Hey guys, im planning to pick up a pair of pod shorts. Im 5'6 155 lbs 33 waist. Should I get a XS or S?

I'm a waist 31/32 and wear a IT46 with still plenty of room left in the mainline pods. Lucky for you I even have a pretty cheap pair for sale

[thekunk07]

they won't fit him at least be honest about sizing

 

[supremeanarchy]

I am, shorts fit ******* huge and my waist/thighs/calves are my most developed part of my body due to tae kwon do, and I STILL have way too much room in them being a 31/32 waist wearing an IT46. If they had it, I could probably wear a 44.

Maybe just me, but the drawstring waistband is ridiculously stretchy.

^ Try the women's version as solution maybe? I have heard of men buying the women's version for length.

Just found this massive ******* rip in the sleeve of this thick cow suede stooges

I don't even know when or how it happened just noticed it gaping now


Pretty poor as it is barely worn
The lining has also torn

Maybe the stitching was not adequate for this thickness of leather


Is it worth repairing or just throw it away?
I presume the same thing is likely to happen elsewhere



Great shame as I liked the jacket a lot but the construction quality is obviously garbage

 

[sinnedk]

try repair it, would be a shame to just toss it

Lol I've heard the same thing. Don't really have a problem with it though, it's roomy but I just live with it since that's the look anyway. When i was trying on the cargo joggers from this season, the sales rep actually handed me a male version 48 and women's version equivalent to 50 since it was a bit more tapered. Kind of funny.

Rick Owens Reveals Birkenstock Collaboration
https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/news-bites/rick-owens-reveals-birkenstock-collaboration

confused!

 

[santaclara]

Lmao. I just saw that and was getting on to post it. "I agree with the values Birkenstock has promoted all along — steady longevity and personal well being,” says Owens. "And being able to combine our aesthetics with this project together in LA feels really satisfying.”

 

[gettoasty]

If I was still around the LA area I'd totally go and try on a pair for purchase.

Deep down Rick Owens is just an old guy.

 

[nyarkies]

Deep down Rick Owens is just an old guy.

Or a lesbian. Isn't Birkenstock the official footwear of lesbians?

 

[sinnedk]

I’d say more of hipsters in general

 

[oulipien]

I like the idea that "hipsters" is a generalization of "lesbians" :/
