THE SHIRT OFF YOUR BACK
Just working on this week’s newsletter… We’re offering 25% off shirts, but that’s just an aside… What we’re really interested in is the design. Which one works best?

THIS IS HOW WE ROLL
It’s slight plagiarism (we found this on Facebook), but we thought it was very appropriate for Hentsch Man HQ… If you don’t feel the same way about your workspace, maybe you should come pay us a visit. Hentsch Man HQ is a perpetual party!

SEX ON TOAST
Admittedly, the feature is more about the hot babe and not so much about our hot red stripe linen shirt… but hey, always nice to grace a glossy page. And at least the shirt gets to travel. Wish we could say as much about Hentsch Man HQ!

ANOTHER GARMENT, A WHOLE OTHER WORLD
Every time we want to add a new garment to our ever growing collections, we’re faced with a whole new world… It’s like going back to school. This time, wanting to add jersey to our SS13 collection, we went down to Italy to explore a whole new factory, lingo, set of people, set of rules, complications, fabrications, limitations, informations, and on and on and on… But, if we’re honest, this is the very best part of what we do! Production and all its problems comes with all its joys as well.
And also, how cool are these machines? They’re like something out of a science fiction film!

NOT SUCH CRACK
Our recent newsletter about ‘Anoraks on Crack’ created quite a stir. For whatever reason, people imagined that our jackets had addiction problems? Or perhaps the men who wore them did… ? That was obviously not our intention. Not only are our jackets not crack addicts, but neither are the Hentsch Men who wear them! We apologise for any confusion caused… BUT, the good news is, the controversy landed us quite a spot in the Evening Standard…

LOOK AT OUR DRAW SOMETHING!
Our sketches in studio are excellent. Between our pattern cutters, designers, art directors and graphic designers, we are quite a creative bunch here at Hentsch Man… But when asked by GQ to develop a sketch for the the Apple App ‘Draw Something’, our design team was left slightly at a loss… The thing is, they all went to art school before the advent of the Ipad. But all in all, we think the result so not too far off the original…

Indepentently RAD!
This is the only upside to all this Spring rain (especially on a dreary Monday morning)… Keep it pouring!
