What to know about Heron Preston
Heron Preston is the namesake label of the New York-based designer, launched in 2017 through Milan's New Guards Group. It draws on workwear and municipal uniform codes: utility vests, cargo trousers, logo-tape detailing, graphic tees and hoodies, frequently in high-visibility orange. Past collaborations include Caterpillar (CAT) and Levi's "MISTAKES ARE OK." In July 2025 Preston repurchased full legal and commercial rights to his name from New Guards Group, following the holding company's Chapter 11 filing in Italy in November 2024, and announced a relaunch of the now-independent label in November 2025.
How Heron Preston fits
Overall fit
runs large
Pieces are cut in an intentionally oversized streetwear silhouette and are commonly reported to wear at least a size larger than the label suggests, with Italian/EU-influenced sizing adding to the confusion.
Tip: Most shoppers do best taking one size down from their usual, and two down only if they want a genuinely close fit.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | heavily oversized, boxy with low-set shoulder seams | Take your true size only if you want the intended slouchy look, otherwise drop a size. |
| Jackets | runs large | boxy utility and vest silhouettes built for layering | Size down unless you plan to wear heavy knitwear underneath. |
| Jeans & denim | slightly large | straight to relaxed, with looser collaborative Levi's-derived cuts | Stick to your usual waist if you want a relaxed look, or drop one size for a straighter line. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | relaxed workwear-style cut, roomy through body and armhole | Size down one for a normal shirt fit; keep your usual size if layering over a hoodie. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy, wide through the chest with dropped shoulders | Size down one if you want it to sit like a normal tee rather than a deliberately oversized one. |
| Trousers & pants | runs large | relaxed to wide cargo and utility cuts, high rise on some styles | Consider going down a size in the waist and budget for a hem, as the leg length tends to run long. |
