IHP-JAPAN - Japanese Woven Patches

[CosmoSix5]

Ross, is this one coming back? Or am I reading the descriptions wrong? Thanks!

[Ross]

@CosmoSix5 I think that one is one of the discontinued patches, we've just updated the images to ensure it's only the ones currently available

@Giles question about the patch posted above, does the “M-C” stand for Motorcycle Club? Is there an official Iron Heart MC?

From my understanding wearing an MC patch is quite taboo, and curious if there is any stigma surrounding this in Japan? Thank you!

@SourPower MC is probably motor cycle.

[Giles]

No official IH motorcycle club. Guess it just means motorcycle, but the Japanese often do stuff in latin characters and not really know what the meaning is.....

I’ve seen this MC patches on a lot of Japanese Iron Heart customers. The brand is directly connected to motorcycle scene and Haraki is advertising in a lot of bike magazines like Club Harley as can seen here.

Makes sense, thanks @goosehd @Giles & @Aetas !

Recently picked up this vintage varsity jacket - but it needed an IH touch so here it is with a few patches (including a Chenille patch on the back):
