    Tapered_sweater_pattern_w_setin_sle.png

    i dont understand the shoulder/arm hole part.

    having difficulty making this part. if anyone has a tutorial on making a pattern for shoulder/armhole/sleeve?

    how does the top of the sleeves/shoulder get joined on to the body?

    thanks in advance

  2. yeah there may be some sizing issues with rick that i've heard about, but every piece that i've tried and owned has been close to the tagged size

    i think a lot of people expect sizing to be quite exact, but standard sizings are most of the time approximates:

    eg. S = chest size is 35" -37" ..and i think someone who is used to garments with 37 inches, and gets a 35 inch (or maybe a tad bit smaller), of course will percieve the jacket to be tight and fit like an XS. not to mention on the f/w leathers the lining is thicker

  3. i dunno man.. everytime i see the obscur jacket.. it really makes me uncomfortable (for real), it just looks really unbalanced. the pockets and those seams (running diagonally on each side of the zipper from the neck to the hips), just looks really poorly designed.

    ...sorry i couldnt hold it in any longer

  4. you guys are wack.. rick owens leathers are really well made.. that scuba is also on my list of things to get.. it does look good open and closed.

    i havnt wanted to say anything, but all this talk about passing on rick and rathering a obscur is crazy. to be totally honest that obscur is hella ugly, and looks cheap to me, in all the pics i've seen, it really looks awkward worn, pulls really weird at the chest-shoulders.

    i've inspected my RO leather quite thoroughly, and every single stitch, seam, pocket, dart, is immaculately done. even the lining has darts (which is on the inside and wont ever be seen by anyone, except the wearer). materials like the leather, woven cuffs, 3 different types of lining all feel luxurious.

    rick started off as a pattern maker, and you can really tell, every single seam and dart is well positioned. also the factory is probably filled with old people with a load of experience in making garments.

    in my opinion there is no way you can choose an obscur over rick owens.

    bt, i say go for it.
