With the down time I’ve had due to an inability to travel, I began organizing my media storage several months ago in an attempt to be proactive in how I store all of the assets I’ve accumulated over the years. What I thought was going to be a simple sorting exercise, turned into an idea to publish a photo book showcasing my time spent around race tracks in Japan.
Over the past few months we have been working with Stand 21, the prestigious motor sports racewear company headquartered in Eastern France, in developing a signature race glove for Dogfight.
A few months ago we introduced the idea of producing a line of carbon goods under NDF Japan Bodyworks that would help expand our current carbon line of goods.
The past 2019 season of Attack marked Kunihiko Bando’s achievement of his long sought 53 second lap around TC2000 (53.680). This, in and of itself is a remarkable achievement, however it also comes along with the promise of more.
In an attempt to expand the communication in regards to storefront opening dates and times, I’ve committed to announcing on the site each time the store is restocked and I plan to re-open it. I get plenty of emails from people who missed out, or request to be notified each time I open the store; as you know that would be impossibly tedious to individually email hundreds of people. Instead, the easier solution, is to subscribe to the site via the ‘follow’ button located on all pages, and when I post opening dates you will receive notifications straight to your inbox!
I’ve been getting a few messages over the past couple days in regards to the site running slow, or not being able to access it at all. Took the better half of my Sunday morning, but I figured out today there was an issue with the DNS settings that needed to be reset – no idea how they got changed in the first place.
I’m excited to announce the release of NDF’s first outerwear garment. I spent a long time looking into what would be a more unique offering than just a regular cotton, hooded sweatshirt. I wanted something practical, something with a styled, motorsport feel, and ultimately something that would keep you warm (especially those cold winter mornings in Japan)! So it is with great satisfaction that I present to you the Dogfight Poly-Tech Sweatshirt.
As usual it’s been quite awhile since the store was opened, but I have some time this coming week to process orders so I opened it up. A couple new items in there, and some more on the way! Thanks for the support everyone.
Sorry about the down time last night that led into this morning; the result of such down time, however, is the new layout of the site. If I were being completely honest, I’ve never been 100% satisfied with the look of the site (or anything in my life for that matter). As a result, the site has changed it’s look over the past years multiple times.
When I had initially announced that I’d be making shirts for the site, I was met with a lot of ‘Finally!’s from friends and fans. Needless to say, in the scheme of things, […]
