Hollywood? If so, that's the one isaw and I just think it was a funky sample. The hide was awesome, if a hair thinner than the similar Ventura I just received. Beautiful workmanship and materials, but an odd duck that one is.So, I've been drooling over the Heron for awhile, and yesterday I made my way over to Self Edge to see one in person. There's no doubt in my mind that it is a quality jacket, but that said, I won't be buying one from the store. Maybe it was the brown color which to me was a bit blah, or maybe I bought into a vision of what it might look like on... My initial thought was that it was too short despite an explanation from the clerk that it's supposed to be a vintage fit. Then when I looked in the mirror, it looked pretty boxy- again, not what I'd imagined. I really admire DH's craftsmanship and approach, and if I ever were to get a jacket of his, I'd definitely go custom through him. I'm really glad I got to try it on because otherwise I'd be obsessing for another 2 years. Thanks for the tip off guys.
