these guys both offer a frame with the same brand name. aren't choices better? either way, it's been 30 plus years since the seven sisters road shop was in its heydey. any way you cut it, they're co-opting the name and keeping it alive for those who didn't live through it. hetchinspete himself admits only jones-ing for the brand for three years. the amount of 'in the image of' hetchins frames offered by both of these guys will be small. they'll make them. people will buy them. i don't see any losers in this issue.

both wenger and victorinox each lay claim to the 'swiss army' brand knifes/watches/etcetera. legal and moral issues aside, the buyers always think they're getting the 'real' one.
