Craig, the sincerity of your apology is too funny. I don't mind it at all, dude is a handsome fella.

No triggers pulled at this years Inspiration... I think that the Himels are definitely awesome jackets. But somehow, when I tried them on, I just didn't feel like they were something I *needed*.

Dave is a funny guy. He does not hide options, you're certainly right on that one!

Yeah we seriously did not deserve such a beautiful apology :D I think our builds/ sizes are similar, but our hair and skin tone are QUITE different :p
I didn't feel like I needed one either while I was trying them on (my McCoy is still perfect )... until I tried on that Griz. It spoke to me and it said "you need me."

Guys, I am sooooooo sorry!! I knew Ben was at Dave's both today and, when I saw the photo on Dave's Instagram, I assumed it was Ben. I have seen your photos before and should have known better. I'm really sorry about my absent minded mix-up. I corrected my original post.

Anyhow, the Griz looks good on you Dude. Did either of you pull the trigger (either with Himel or elsewhere)?

Unless I somehow missed it in this thread, what do you have coming from Himel? This looks like it's worth a plane ticket next year...

EDIT: And thank you for your report!

The liner reveal at the top near the collar is really striking in the revised design.

Funny you should say that because I personally do not like revealed liner. I am having Dave add leather facing so that the liner does not show from the outside.

I was VERY pleasantly surprised by how good the Frobisher looks when worn!
I saw 5 guys try it on, and it looked great on every one.

The Frobisher received the most attention while I was there. This is interesting because it is probably the least striking/unique/eye-catching of Himel's designs. The Heron and certain of his other designs are more eye-catching. Yet, in the end, simplicity prevails. Moreover, as you observed HM, the Frobisher has a great cut that really fits well.

Wow PG, I didn't think you were such a hipster!

What a cute jacket! But man, that kid's dressed better than I ever was.

This is a nice read! Thank you for the report!
I really dig that coat HM!!

Plus, I also don't like the revealed lining. Had BK make a leather facing for my aeronaut to not show the lining. I thought I might like it for a bit but then think it's getting old.
But then, now I don't like the leather color of the russet anymore, so I'm selling it.
The RMC jackets always are so beautiful.
Thanks for giving us some insight in what seemed to be a great day out!
