DRKSHDW Women/Men F/W 08.09

[ardeetee]

ok this jacket from exploder looks like the one from the drkshdw picture so does the parka previously posted, is it gunna be a parka or a jacket? who knows

Parts of the FW collection is already available at palais royal. The hooded jacket is a normal length jacket, looks really similar to the exploder version when I passed by it. Didn't check if it was drkshdw or mainline, but it was together with the other mainline pieces.

how do DRKSHDW tees run size wise?

i know they fit oversize (aesthetic i want), but should i go with small or medium @ 6 foot & 140 lbs? i guess im typically a slim medium, but dont want this swimming on me.

it also depends on which shirts you're talking about, the sheer tees run quite a bit larger than the normal cotton tees, at least for ss08

for anyone who knows what i look like, i am an xl in all ro/drkshdw

^^^ is that your typical size?

[kunk75]

i'm between an xl and a xxl and have always fit in RO xl. i'm wearing a long RO sweater now and it is equivalent to a prada xxl and larger than a raf xxl.

[Quiver]

so do you prononuce the label as "dark shadow"??? ...cos that doesnt sound anywhere as cool as DRKSHDW looks...

[Pandemonium]

it is pronounced DRKSHDW, like it is written.

Anyone know an approximate pricepoint for this jacket?

Those two jackets are different, because I own both of them (or at least the mainline versions). The black and white pic has a hood in the RO mainline version from last Fall, with a fuller torso in thick moleskin cotton, while the colored one above it has a double-layered, high neckline with no hood, and a quilted, thinner cotton fabric body.

bakla, the 2nd jacket, it looked like a long jacket to me.. was i mistaken??

and how about the jacket in the coloured picture, that one seems to be thicker and has some kinda of nylon fabric.. ?

[bakla]

Hamham, the drkshdw jacket with the hood had both long and short versions in RO mainline, but it's hard to tell from the photo which one it is. The short version falls to about second hip position. The one in the colored photo has the same white lining as mine, which is 100% cotton, but with a finer weave and a sheen to it, so it could be mistaken for nylon in photos... although I'm sure Rick Owens could have many variants in different materials.That one is only slightly shorter, about first hip position.

Here are the two coats when I wore them last fall, so you can compare lengths:

RO Hooded moleskin coat:

RO double-neck coat:

Looks like the hooded drkshdw coat is going to come in at least a long length this season:

[cathexis]

our cold winter makes me wanna cop the longer length

but my RO moleskin will prolly have another run this season

I really, really want this.
