# Patchwork Sheepskin Jackets This Rick Owens Jacket is Made with Alternating Leather and Sheepskin By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-09-27 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rick-owens-jacket References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/9/rick-owens-fall-winter-2016-outerwear) & [antonioli.eu](https://www.antonioli.eu/en/HK/men/products/rr16f6916lshbe-09) Considering the luxury brand's past of offering up some of the very best in [statement-worthy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cult-gaia-x-raxxy) and [avant-garde apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-kendall) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Patchwork Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to experiment with patchwork construction techniques in clothing design. - **Combining Textures:** Incorporating different materials into clothing design to create unique and interesting textures. - **Luxury Outerwear:** Providing consumers with high-quality and unique outerwear options as a way to differentiate from competitors. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Incorporating bespoke materials and textures in outerwear, and designing unique pieces to capture attention amidst competitors. - **Luxury Apparel:** Experimenting with contrasting material accents in design as a way to provide value to luxury customers and capture more market share. - **Retail:** Developing dynamic product assortment for customers looking for unique and high-quality fashion pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Architectural Leather Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-cassie-sb.md) - [Leather Motto Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-motto-jackets.md) - [Fashion-Forward Suede Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buck-mason-1.md) - [Adaptable Faux Fur Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-aspen.md) - [Textured Alpaca Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boucl-alpaca-dropped-shoulder-aviator-jacket.md) - [Bird Feather-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots.md) - [Fall-Ready Timeless Aviator Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviator-jacket-1.md) - [Elevated Cashmere Wool Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashmere-wool-coats.md) - [Avant Garde Seasonal Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic.md)
