Product Insights
Cut long and straight rather than oversized; IT 42/44/46 translate to US 6/8/10 and most shoppers take their usual Italian size. Body is 100% bull leather; lining 1 is 100% cotton and lining 2 is 100% cupro. No hardware—the fronts cross and tie at the waist, holding by tension; the tie can be pulled taut to adjust fit and shape. A layering piece rather than a cold-weather coat—blocks wind over a knit and works from fall into mild winter. Do not wash, bleach, professionally clean, tumble dry, or iron/press.
Verified claims
- fit_sizing
- Cut long and straight rather than oversized; IT 42/44/46 translate to US 6/8/10 and most shoppers take their usual Italian size.
- size_conversion_caveat
- Size conversion can vary by brand and may differ from published charts; contact the retailer if unsure.
- size_options
- All three sizes—42, 44, 46—are in stock at the same 6000 CAD price, running a consecutive ladder with no gaps, and black is the only colourway.
- material_composition
- Body is 100% bull leather; lining 1 is 100% cotton and lining 2 is 100% cupro.
- bull_leather_structure
- Bull leather's interwoven fibre structure and dense grain layer give the vest its architectural shape and strength.
- surface_finish
- Deep flat black, not brown or charcoal; daylight reveals sheen and creasing rather than a warm undertone.
- closure_mechanism
- No hardware—the fronts cross and tie at the waist, holding by tension; the tie can be pulled taut to adjust fit and shape.
- lining_function
- The cotton lining separates the leather from body oils and helps the vest slide on, though cotton glides less easily than satin.
- warmth_seasonality
- A layering piece rather than a cold-weather coat—blocks wind over a knit and works from fall into mild winter.
- care_instructions
- Do not wash, bleach, professionally clean, tumble dry, or iron/press.
- care_heat
- Leather cannot be steamed like cloth; steam and high temperature can permanently mark and shrink it.
- natural_marks
- Scars, insect bites and growth marks are normal features of a real hide, not defects.
- construction_details
- Asymmetric overlapping front panels, a waist tab with metal snap, stand collar, panel seams and topstitching.
- silhouette_and_vent
- Long, column-like silhouette reaching near the ankles or mid-calf, with a dramatic deep back slit opening from the hem upward.
- pockets
- Side pockets at hip level plus inner zip pockets.
- styling_aesthetic
- Rick Owens' signature dark, gothic, monochromatic aesthetic with monumental fit and elongated lines.
- made_in_italy

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Long Leather Vest: Choose this if you want a dramatic, sleeveless layering piece in deep black: it is crafted from 100% bull leather with a cotton and cupro lining, made in Italy, and cut long and straight to near the ankles with asymmetric crossover panels, a tie ribbon closure, a low stand collar, and a pronounced front slit and deep back vent. It suits those drawn to Rick Owens' signature dark, striking aesthetic as described by the retailer, and practical details like side pockets plus inner zip pockets add everyday function. Note that it is sleeveless and available in sizes 42, 44, and 46 in black.[1,2] | Gathered Balloon Sleeves Tulle Bomber Jacket: Choose this if you want a statement bomber with dark, ethereal styling: sheer black tulle gathers into voluminous balloon sleeves capped with ruched seams, set against an opaque body with ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, a metallic zip, and buttoned flap pockets. It has a loose fit with drop shoulders and a cropped waist-length hem, and it is made in Italy from 100% polyamide tulle with polyester rib trim. Note that it is structured but unlined, and the semi-sheer tulle body can leave underlying layers faintly visible, so consider what you plan to wear beneath it.[3,4,5,6,7] | Maria Pure Silk Crossover Jacket: Choose this if you want a flowing, waist-length statement piece in 100 percent silk crepe, with dramatically structured, rounded shoulders, a gathered crossover front forming a deep V, and a bloused, drawcord-hemmed silhouette in a muted taupe-gray. It suits a loose, draped look with fine vertical pleating and long, sheer sleeves that show the outline of the arm beneath, and it is made in Italy from silk woven in the Como region, in sizes 38 to 46. Note the semi-sheer sleeves, which affect coverage preferences.[8,9,10,11,12] |
