[ - ] I tried on some jeans that I loved at Bloomingdale's. I think the brand was called "Heritage". I googled but only came up with hits on True Religion and I really don't think they were... The label inside said "Heritage New York Los Angeles". Am I remembering wrong? Does anyone know the brand I'm talking about? They were $190 which is why I didn't buy them on the spot. 13 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More
