Collectivism since 1995
The first ever Six Eight Seven Six garment (circa 1995) re-produced at our factory in North London.
This Pullover military influenced shirt with concealed half placket, flap breast pocket and manufactured in Fil-a-Fil 100% cotton.
The design and construction of this style have been faithfully re-created whilst updating the fit and fabrication which was a staple cloth of late 1990’s and early 2000’s Six Eight Seven Six
Made In England and a total of 50 garments have been produced
Its well over ten years ago that I started to investigate the idea of evolving the classic British workwear jacket & over a few seasons from around 2001-2007 6876 played with the composition,detailing and fabrication.
We moved from 100% natural fibres,garment dyes and eventually to proofed cotton before the genre subsided until there was a version in our Cashca collaboration more recently.
Still I felt there was something else that I wanted to achieve which was a summer version that was very lightweight, yet robust and with good technical capabilities. This all came together when I sourced a fabric from a regular and progressive supplier ;FOV in Sweden well known for supplying many of the premium technical brands.

When I designed this jacket in 2003 the idea behind it was to provide within the silhouette of a raincoat type jacket a more accessible and casual type of garment by utilising a classic Harrington and exaggerating its size.
