Sheer ripstop meets padded construction in the FW26 Tower collection.
Rick Owens’ Turtle Jacket brings sheer black ripstop nylon to a padded outerwear silhouette, making transparency the defining choice for this piece from FW26 Tower. The combination gives a familiar jacket construction a less familiar material treatment: an outer shell that is itself sheer. Made in Italy, the jacket has a quilted finish that supplies surface texture without introducing another color. A high funnel neck establishes the silhouette at the collar, with a front zip fastening below. Long sleeves end in ribbed cuffs, and two side welt pockets provide storage. Branding takes the form of a logo detail on the back. The design’s strongest gesture is its choice of textile; the closures and pocket treatment use the familiar vocabulary of outerwear.
