RÆZNIK LEGEND
The first time you pick it up, you'll feel that it's not just a shirt, but that you've found a companion for the experiences of a lifetime.
How to start and what to write about something that has become a part of my life and lifestyle?
I was a kid who wanted to prove something. A kid who didn't want to be just a worker. I thought about a lot of things I could do, but I always came up with a but...
Until, that is, the idea of shirts came up.
I had the best flannel I'd ever seen. My dad brought it back from America after the revolution. It was much thicker than the flannels you could buy here. I realized that even though it was many years old, it was still great. She grew old with my father and then with me. And suddenly there it was - the desire to make something that would accompany one for a lifetime, and one day, Dad might as well have passed it on to his son.
I had the main thing - I knew what I wanted to finally produce and with my stubbornness and conceit I didn't even admit that it wouldn't work out. So I started!
I wanted this shirt to be even better than my dad's original shirt. I wanted it to be the best! Everyone wants to be the best at something, and anyone who says they're not is lying.
I knew I wanted to make the shirts entirely in the Czech Republic, sewing them with the best possible material and in the best possible way. The biggest problem was the fabric. Due to the high weight it was not easy to find someone who could weave it, but everything worked out.
Over time, they managed to create a shirt that in many ways surpassed the original one from my dad. Today, I'm not afraid to say it's the best flannel in the world!
But RÆZNIK is not really about shirts at all. It's about the journey of a boy who followed his dream, and even though it sometimes hurt too much, he never stopped. He refused to give up and he believed! The journey of a boy who had to become a man to make it. To change your behavior, to change yourself is the hardest thing in the world, but there is no other way and in fact it is still happening!
There is always room for improvement and room to move on and I want to keep going and keep being a RÆZNIK.
I want RÆZNIK to be the best flannel shirt manufacturer in the world one day!
RÆZNIK is not just me anymore! There are a lot of people who are walking this path with me and who are living a dream that is actually not just a dream anymore. I would like to thank everyone. Especially my mom. She gets most of the credit for all of this and thank you for believing in me, even though I was just a fool to everyone with an ego that touches the sky! Because she believed in me, she changed me because I wanted to be better. I also thank my seamstress, Jitka, for teaching me the meaning of sewing and how to work with people. And last but not least are the customers, because without you we couldn't do it and only because of you we can continue and make the best flannels in the world.
If you want, you have the opportunity to be a RÆZNIK too and when you have our shirt, take it to the woods, to the mountains, to the nature sometimes. That's where she's at her best and I'm sure you will be too!
People talk too much sometimes, so words are enough.
Let's be RÆZNIK!
With respect for work and craft,
Rosťa Řepka aka RÆZNIK
Jitka Zemanová - Production Manager
Jitka has been sewing for more than thirty years. She ran her own company for the production of down jackets and sleeping bags. It was 7 years ago that she first met Rosta and his plan to become the most famous flannel shirt manufacturer in the world. Her love for the craft led her to join his project, becoming the brand's first ever employee. Currently, She is the head of production at RÆZNIK and is one of the few people whose opinion is respected by Rosťa.
Veronika Vinklárková - Sales Manager
Veronika once wrote to Rosta that she should become his model. Rost'a accepted the offer and took his first photos with her, when his sales went up by 50% he was surprised and to be honest his autistic brain couldn't understand it. He tried several other models, but none had the same results. He figured he didn't have to understand everything... Veronika is currently a sales manager for the RÆZNIK brand.
Jan Šimák - Public Relations Manager
Honza has known Rosta since they studied together at the Forestry School in Šluknov. They became friends and he is one of the few people with whom Rost'a can get along, even though they often have diametrically opposed views on politics, women and most things. Rostia started making videos with him on instagram. Honza quickly began to entertain people and Rostia figured that would solve the problem of talking. Honza became the PR manager and spokesperson for RÆZNIK brand.
