It's really not worth repairing, there's so many problems with it and quite a few seams pulling apart, it's just not worth the money to me. I certainly cant see this jacket lasting another year. It's shame, but it happens I suppose. I just hope Heron's new X-1 is a lot better made, and if the pictures are any indication than it will be.
I know a lot of people out there are into the Weapon X tags, and I know there are a lot of people replicating them. I've worked on getting the shape, engraving, depths of the pads, and the levels of aging down to look the most accurate. I've also tried to make them as affordable as possible. Let me know what you guys think.
I can't wait to get them.
Hey guys, figured I'd post this here to see if anyone else is having some of the same problems with their X-1 from Heron, I'm getting more than a little annoyed at this point lol.
First, the brass hardware on the collar has started to rust, not too sure why, it just started over the last couple months and it was stored in a dry closet, not worn, not exposed to water at all.
And this one is kind of major, a pretty good sized tear on the arm pit of the jacket. The jacket sat in my closet for months not being worn once, and I took it out one night and put it on and as soon as I did the seam started to pull apart.
Those are the only pictures I could get before my camera died but other problems are the zippers aren't working properly, a few other seams are slowly starting to come loose, it's nearly impossible to keep this jacket conditioned, within a couple days it's already dried out again.
Upside is that I do like how the distressing turned out on the jacket, overall I like how the jacket LOOKS, just not how it's holding up.
Overall, I'm just not happy with it anymore, it was bought brand new in December, and it looks like a jacket that's been sitting in an attic for 15 years, and not in a good way lol. And it hasn't even been worn a whole lot, maybe 10 or 15 times at the most and never abused and it seems like every time I pick it up there's another problem with it. I regret getting it now and think that the money would've been better spent going towards a different jacket.
Hey Jeggs, thanks for the response and the offer, I've always said one of the things I liked most about your company was your costumer service and how you interact with your customers. I'll send you a PM.
I love my heron origins I got it when it first came out I asked them the best size because it was through eBay for my build they said M I only have a 34 chest but I trusted the judgment as I've got a bit bigger it fits but not the way I want it I'm considering getting it adjusted but need to look at how much it would be and what it could do to itWell... I got my jacket. Sigh, I wish I could say I was happy with it but the fit is just not good. It's a gorgeous jacket but its absolutely huge in the shoulders, not to mention how pointed they are. I attached photos of the jacket (which looks better in these pictures than it does in the mirror) compared to my well fitting american eagle brown leather jacket and my black cafe racer soul revolver jacket. I think if 2" inches were taken out of each shoulder it would have the fit im going for, but as is I think Im going to have to return.
