Some People Talk About The Weather Towel

Sozialistische Deutsche Studentenbund print from orIginal poster housed at the 6876 HQ and sourced in Frankfurt  1970 

SDS in Germany consisted mainly of college and university students. The SDS opposed the Vietnam war and Germany’s political involvement in it, as well as the use of nuclear weapons and objected that many former National Socialists still held influential positions in West Germany. They also wanted to advance democratic structures in all institutions, for example in schools.

Alternative lifestyles and more tolerance for same sex couples, a more open treatment of sexual topics, the right to abortion and equal rights for women. The students involved used the same methods of protest as the anti-war movement in the United States at that time, for example sit-ins and demonstrations. 

Yarn sourced  from  Belgian & German Spinning mills which are Oekotex certified.

Woven in Austria with construction in Andezeno Italy to the highest standards in a small & sustainable facility.

Radge Scarf

 

The archetypal Radge is wild, unpredictable, and violent. A man you do not want to spill a pint on.

As well as being Radge, you can also go Radge: a prolific, sustained bout of swearing or a violent outburst ought to do it.

It’s also used as a casual term of endearment, predominantly in the east coast (“come here, ya wee radge.”). A seemingly improbable event can also be described as being “radge”.

A word that dates back to the late 19th century, radge is probably a morphing of “rage”.  It was adapted from radger, a seemingly extinct term for an uncontrollable creature.

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.
