I'm telling you, Haversack is probably the most well-made stuff I've ever owned, although Mister Freedom is tops.

I'll get my Haversack SS chambray back from the tailor tomorrow, so I'll post up a fit pic.


Thanks for the heads up.

Looking forward to seeing your fit. The markups on Haversack at Opening Ceremony and Oki-ni were both horrendous and I think sell-through was quite bad as a result. It'll be interesting to see how long they stick with the brand.

I agree with you about the construction. Totally next level. I have a long coat by them which is insanely
complicated construction wise and yet it's all executed perfectly. Beautiful tailored. Unfortunately, as you said, the cuts and styles don't work for everyone .

Even the oki-ni Haversack stuff on sale is more than from japan. When I got my shirt, I was looking at the selvage gussets and everything is french seams and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how they sewed it all together.

^ Me too.

I'd like to see someone outside Japan pick up Old Joe & Co. and Marchercher as well.
