Archive Community project

After 30 years we have decided to document the story of our unique brand. With your help, we will produce three newspapers, each documenting a particular decade in the history of 6876.

The publication will take the form of documenting the garments through high level product photography which will be an exhaustive and intensive process.

Also featured will be some archive artworks and brochures as well as unique interviews or written features with the people closest to the company.

We have chosen this format as we think this suits the aesthetic of the brand and is less reverential or self important than a glossy book

The print runs will be approximately 6 months apart & will be limited to 6876 followers.

The Library

New section consisting of classic 6876 prints throughout the history of the brand.

The library will also seek to give context and information as to the movements and people that inspired these designs that were/are so integral to 6876 and its ideology.

Forth Jacket 24

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.

Made In Portugal and predominately sold in Japan
