Familiar with Haglin's Oxford-like duds, although I remember them in more subdued colors. They look funny side by side because they are representing the TM Program. I have had people who wanted to start TM recently. Then they visited the TMO websites and saw this stuff, and based on the current presentation, decided that TM wasn't for them. The TMO has squandered the respectability that it had earned in the west. Maybe this stuff will appeal to the archtypes of the Indian mind, but I doubt it.
