ARCHIVE NOTES
K&N Engineering is one of the most recognisable names in automotive performance — founded in the United States in 1969 by Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald (the "K" and "N"), the company built its reputation on reusable oiled-cotton high-flow air filters and intake systems that became a staple of tuner and motorsport builds worldwide, including the JDM scene. Alongside its filters, K&N ran a "Racing Wear & Apparel" line of branded team-style clothing carrying the instantly recognisable K&N logo and orange/red speed bars seen on this jacket. Pieces like this connect to K&N's long presence across drag racing, circuit and off-road competition.
