This Rick Owens Jacket is Made with Alternating Leather and Sheepskin

— September 27, 2016 — Luxury
Considering the luxury brand's past of offering up some of the very best in statement-worthy and avant-garde apparel, it's no surprise that this fall-ready Rick Owens jacket does much the same.

With a three-quarter-length, the American designer has plenty of space to work with -- allowing him to infuse the structure with a patchwork construction that manages to hold on to a minimalist aesthetic as well. This is made possible by the use of charcoal leather and neutral-toned accents throughout, ensuring that the colorway doesn't become too divergent while also maintaining a sense of contrast.

Near the bottom of the Rick Owens jacket, a soft sheepskin lining can be seen poking out, further adding to the unique look while simultaneously generating a level of warmth for the wearer.
