The Mystique of 3 Rick Owens Leather Jackets: Styled and Compared 

Your comment has made me reflect. Have you ever worn any Rick stuff? I’d admired his stuff for a long time but thought I couldn’t pull it off. You said it’s not about body composition for you, but it was for me. I felt like I had to be a gym goth or tall and skinny. Once I got into it, I found lots of silhouette options, and discovered that I could’ve been wearing the stuff years ago. It’s been a lot of fun. That said, I’m embarking on a long term experiment with a trainer on Monday to dramatically alter my physique. And with Rick ‘s body as my reference point. So I don’t know if it’s vanity, obsession, or slavish conformity. But I look forward to exploring the edges of extremity, at least in a few aspects of my life.

@@clyff6ix401 Hey Clyff! I have only tried on Rick's jacket's while shopping at stores, but never pulled the trigger due to personal style preferences. I've contemplated on numerous occasions in the past, however, as my style has evolved, I've progressed to gravitate towards different clothing items and designs. In regards to your topic about exploring the diverse realm of Rick Owen's fashion, I'll try my best to summarize my opinion of our discussion... Fashion is a dynamic field of art; it allows use to explore and adventure into domains both abstractly and physically in an attempt to satisfy our endless creative and maybe even our materialistic mind. I believe you altering/transforming your body to conform to a body type, like Rick's, is not slavish conformity or vanity, rather it is just fashion... meaning you take the time to methodically envision a creative imagery you desire and you physically manifest it, which I presume makes you at the very least contempt and at the very most fulfilled; therefore I wouldn't associate any negative stigma's or words to your ideal fashion language. And the last sentence you stated is also why I enjoy fashion... it presents a platform to creatively explore. If you're curious on what my current style is like, it's predominantly functional clothing like veilance, arcteryx, and patagonia with a mix of thrift and grandpa core like new balance and khaki trouser because they allow me to be flexible and comfortable without having to compromise, while also not having to worry about staining, carefully handling each article of clothing, and most importantly dry cleaning expenses hahaha! Hope this condensed paragraph clarified some thoughts you may have had and I'd definitely would enjoy continuing it. Also, question: do you think Rick's clothes mixes seamlessly with other designers, especially if you weren't allowed to use monochromatic items from these other designers like basic black trousers or knits? I presume to believe the distinct uniqueness of Rick's clothing items is why I often see Rick Owens generally paired with another Rick Owens piece or a noncontracting black archive piece from Raf or Helmut lang.

Ha! Definitely. Fog is for the people.

Thanks so much for watching. It’s nice to have an audience!

So glad you found it useful. And congratulations on your new jacket!

Glad you enjoyed it!

🙌 much appreciated

You’re exactly right! I just looked it up. Thanks for your contribution. I never knew that 🙌 🏎

It’s hard to find a great quality superbly executed and to leather jacket these days. I have ones for different occasions. But you look so f*cling bad@$$ in the black ones and the first ones are so unique. Your collection is solid and I’m positively envious.

You’re very welcome. I appreciate what you said about leather jackets stimulating all six senses. The same goes for your view on leather jackets as an indicator for a designer’s overall aesthetic. Thanks for your enthusiasm and kind words, and for sharing your analysis.

Yeah. I’m not big on biker jackets. But that one was so interesting.

Thanks for watching. Nah. I don’t have any socials

There’s a new Instagram for the channel! It’s clyff6ix

You make a fair point. I did a color pass on the looks footage and will post it in a few minutes. It will still be dark because that's how I shot it. But you'll be able to see more. You can also check out the Dylan and Larry shirt reviews as I wear two of the jackets (well lit) in that video. Thanks for your comment. You, and everyone else, are always welcome to ask for anything. Just keep in mind that this channel is also a creative outlet for me to explore the things that I find interesting and to experiment visually. Warmest - Clyff :)
