British Gentlemen’s clothing company Hackett London is launching a limited edition polo shirt to help the victims of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami with all profits being donated to the Japan Society “Tohoku Earthquake Relief Fund“.

The polo shirt has been designed with traditional Japanese embroidery of the cherry blossom which is an emblem of love and affection. The declaration of ‘Hope’ is embroidered on the polo in English and Japanese characters, highlighting the belief in a positive outcome from such a disastrous and tragic act of nature. The company is also installing a “Hackett supports Japan” window display in several UK and international stores to promote the ‘Hope’ polo and donations to the Tohoku Earthquake Relief Fund.

The Japan Society’s Chairman Christopher Purvis CBE says: “We are most grateful to Hackett London for this initiative in support of the Japan Society Tohoku Earthquake Relief Fund. While the world watches with deep sadness, we know through our Japanese friend’s resilience and the generous donations from the Hackett London “Hope” polo shirt we will help to support the recovery and rebuild of so many livelihoods and communities”.

The polo shirt is available in classic navy and also in white and is manufactured from 100% cotton pique. Priced at £49/ €60 the shirt will be available in Hackett stores worldwide and online at www.hackett.com from the end of April, with the option to pre-order in stores or register your interest on-line.

We encourage you to support the victims by buying the “Hope” polo shirt from Hackett London.
