MAHARISHI Multi-Patch Panelwork Poncho – Olive: Panelwork hooded poncho with multiple embroidered patchs. Troop entertainers and nurses who encountered many soldiers in their lines of work often collected patches for their capes or jackets, as souvenirs. This multi-patch panelwork poncho has been constructed from organic cotton sateen and poplin, reproductions of 1960s U.S. Navy and Army cloths.

Francis Ford Coppola’s classic 1979 film Apocalypse Now was based on Polish-English novelist Joseph Conrad’s 1899 book, about a voyage up the Congo River in the centre of Africa. Coppola switched the location to the Mekong River of Vietnam. The novel, entitled “The Heart of Darkness”, and the tailor shop’s expansion to Tibet, inspired the heart of darkness twist on Martin Luther King, Jr’s speech – “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that”. Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love.
