While the display will be boring, we never did see a logo on the back of the jackets. Yes, there is the logo on the wall but we never see a patch. So I just want and will display a orange karate jacket. Still no luck finding. Even karate stores have said "good luck with that". The search continues.

I was looking for long sleeve striped polos with denim overall (that would be simple to "vintage")to do the punks with .

I'm sure it's gonna look OK even without the patch, as long as you use one of those engraved plaques you're using with other outfits. That'll give this outfit a real museum look.

On the subject of hard to find clothing, I've been checking ebay for a long sleeved t-shirt that would match the High Hats attire.  No luck so far.  I had thought about getting a black and red striped top and swapping the arms onto a plain red top, but even they don't show up on search.  Nearest I could find was a halloween costume for Dennis the Menace (UK version), but that was made of that cheap thin polyester. 

Not sure what the quality would look like if I stitched black stripes of felt to the arms.  The High Hats patch is the only game logo that I approve of.

Lier 1:  If you're doing plaques for all the gangs; for the striped shirt and overall (dungaree's) combination, you can put the full gang name of " Big time Punks".

hrm, what's a mega cap company?

I'd look it up, but I'd hate to expend any effort just to find myself at the business end of a subtle triscender attack!

There was another post a long time ago about someone looking for a punks shirt.  I once saw a tanktop that looked liked the Saracens outfit at Old Navy but the color combo was off.  (http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.d ... tid=onfr1r
