      You're right, I just can't relate.

          I personally think those jackets don't look right when they are patch free.  I understand the dislike of visible branding though.

          Edit: meaning that particular style of racing crew jacket

            Generally I enjoy the fact it's just a little red W or a tab on a shirt pocket. But there's something about the naivety of the t-shirt designs I love. They're almost anti-fashion, having nothing to do with western concepts of cool. Other times the branding just works for me. The printing and font choice on the ihj-12 and 45 are just great in my eyes. I'll add that where I live, no-one but my wife knows what Iron Heart is, so brand recognition really isn't a factor for me [emoji1]

              Thanks for educating. I didn't know of this style of jacket. But when doing light research(Google) of said style, most jackets do have a patch on the breast of some kind of branding. (Like a fútbol kit)

              Cheers from the mobile

              Cheers! 

                I'd like the jacket just as much either way to be honest.

                      Is the 14oz satin/pique type III planned for F/W2016 or S/S2017?

                      Am I the only one excited for this? 😀

                                  I spent about 3 hours at the shirt making factory today.  I left (and I honestly really mean this), not knowing how we sell the UHF's for the price we do.  There are 12 people cutting and sewing and they get 60 shirts completed a day.  Those are just the "productive" people, on top of that they have 2 managers, and the most amazing old sewing master (female), whose role it is to train the new staff.  Every new recruit is trained by the sewing master for 6 months before they are allowed to make an actual shirt that can be sold to Haraki…..I think the sewing master my favourite person I met this trip: ancient, wizened, humble and brilliant......

                                            The pink paper is to separate flannel from different rolls of material.  Each of our shirts is sewn from the same roll of fabric, just in case there is a colour variation in the dying between each roll.  The attention to detail is extraordinary…..
