Okay, I don’t think that the Corner had anything more than a small role in this, but a bunch of readers have let me know that they complained to J Crew about the Che jacket in response to my earlier post and this is the response they’re getting back:
Dear [name withheld]-
Thanks for your email-this jacket was named by the manufacturer, Belstaff, however we will be changing the name.
Best,
Brittany
Update: From a longtime reader:
You should have restrained yourself and the power of the corner- I rather like the idea of morons buying an over-priced $800 (nice) jacket named after a murderous commie thug that probably cost $40 to make in some third world country….if the label said “brought to you by capitalism” is the only way this could be better.
