Due Diligence on Rick Owens leather jacket

  • Details of Investment

 The great creations by Rick Owens..... where do I start? Best known of course for his fitted luxurious distressed leather jackets which are like works of art.


I recently invested into a Rick Owens brown leather jacket after watching the Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection and falling in love with the entire collection.

 
When the jacket arrived, I swear I hugged it to sleep every night since. The leather was so buttery soft and its smell was just so deliciously divine. I took it with me on a recent trip to Hong Kong. The jacket kept me warm, it made me look cool, it fitted so well, everyone around me loved it, it goes with everything and I felt suave!

  • Financial Cost
A Rick Owens leather jacket will set you back minimum AUD2000. I bought mine at net-a-porter.com but sometimes you can get it jackets from previous seasons for approx AUD1,200 from outnet.com. But also try inc.cc.com, antonioli.eu, brownsfashion.com, luisaviaroma.com to get your dream jacket. Conclusion - Rick Owens leather jackets do not come cheap but when your breath the smell of that leather, the craftsmenship that has gone into the jacket and the way it sits so damn well on your body it is worth every cent and you will never wear another non Rick Owens leather jacket ever again.

  • Valuation & Returns of Investment
Picture these fashion moments:-

Gwyneth is rarely seen without wearing one
Carine Roitfeld looking hot in hers.
 Seriously, you can't go wrong!!!  The investment returns of a Rick Owens leather jacket will give you a higher level of satisfaction than the current exchange rate between AUD to USD!!! (applies to my fellow Australians only...)

  • Risk Factors
Considering Rick Owens leather jackets come with an expensive tag, you must look after it with care. I have had mine for a few months now with no major scratches or damage done from the recent trip to Hong Kong. But since Rick Owens leather jackets are made from 'distressed' leather, wear and tear will just add to the attitude of  the jacket.

  • Overall Rating
Invest right now... if you can't, save up to invest in one. I have had no regrets. This jacket will definitely be passed down my generations.....
