Archive fabric ties

At our facility in Scotland one of their skills is the production of hand made Ties. 6876 has never produced ties so we decided to take a unique approach and use archive cloths.

Fabrics that have been utilised are Hainsworth Military wool barathea, graphic modernist cotton interpretations of tartans and to follow this Autumn a Japanese woven interpretation of British Army denim mixed with wool.

Messages Bag

“The Messages or going to get the messages”

Scottish phrase meaning to go and buy Groceries 

6876 Tote bag with unique construction including outside pocket.

This style has been made in Scotland using Hainsworth Fabric from the company archive.

The quality is a British Army wool Barathea; comprising of a worsted weave which is a process differing to a highly woollen produced fabric.

Barathea is versatile, with elegant drape and exceptional handle. Due to its coarse texture, the fabric has natural recovery abilities and quickly returns back to its natural shape.

On their last visit the Bshop buyers discovered in the archive the version of the Forth jacket we had produced with Rohan in 2012.

This style has been restructured to have a shorter more contemporary feel whilst utilising a Superior quality cotton with a shower repellent finish fromHalley Stevenson. This quality has a C0 finish combined with a densely woven cotton base, comprising of 40% Supima cotton/ 60% long staple compact cotton.

The fabric despite being rain proof loses none of its character and feel.

S24 Overshirts

Bshop Japan wanted to delve deep into the 6876 archive on their last visit & as we looked through a series of Overshirts a category that was strongly represented in pervious era’s. We eventually decided on a long sleeve version which is the Nith Overshirt, referencing  a version last produced in 1998 & the looser fitting Short Sleeve

Overshirt

Fabrication from Haley Stevenson which was Inspired by their 1910 patent for waterproofing textiles, this finish is a combination of the driest wax and soft aero tumbling. This emulsified wax finish is perfect for lightweight breathable and weather repellent garments. It has a  soft aged appearance, keeping all the character of natural cotton & is washable. 

The fabric and construction gives the garment a light but substantial feel of a summer weight Jacket.
