The lantern logo is from Unite's cut & sewn label Heritage. Unite is a small boutique in Northampton, MA. One of the owners is friends with Dr. Romanelli and has the biggest collection of his shit in the world. The lantern signifies the Underground Railroad because that is what signified a safe house on the railroad. It's a very small market in western MA, so all they could get for good denim is Naked & Famous.

Check them out if u want, they still have a few of these left, but everyone is different, making them all one offs. 12 were made and I have the most plain one. All you IH guys and gals would have picked this one too.

What, no one likes the Dr's work? I was expecting to get a few comments on this piece. If you don't know Dr. Romanelli, look him up, his work is interesting. Last year, he did a collab with The Real McCoy brand. His stuff is all reclaimed military and Nike gear that he cuts and sews into outerwear and bags/totes. He is ridiculously big in Japan.
