As part of the Black project Arco jacket release with C’H’C’M & Harris Tweed we decided to shoot a film in Glasgow with Brian Sweeney who has worked with the brand for many years.
Brian was also instrumental in introducing Mike Donald from http://thecroft.wordpress.com/ and in turn Mark Hogarth from Harris Tweed to Six Eight Seven Six.
These connections were formative in our understanding that we as a label could work with such a traditional supplier and that we could create a unique garment that still felt like a 6876 item.
New York & Glasgow: Two cities built on a grid system,both with a stand alone uniqueness and to this day when i visit Glasgow it always strikes me as a city yearning to the west and beyond.
C’H’C’M & Six Eight Seven Six have worked together to revamp the 2007 Arco jacket from its original form as cotton garment dyed style into a luxury Harris tweed jacket.
Manufactured in our London factory to the highest possible spec utilizing custom woven 100% pure new wool;which is dyed, spun and woven by hand in the Outer Hebrides.The tweed features a herringbone pattern and the garment is half lined with MOD issue lining.
Trim features include Ri Ri zips and buttons specially commissioned in Italy
The jacket has co-branding as well as the signature Harris Tweed orb label.

Interpretation of a classic 6876 sweat,utilizing the original “freedom” raglan sleeve and loop back cotton fabric whilst constructing using the methods perfected on the Good Measure M-21.
The fabric itself is custom made using an Italian jaspe yarn which is produced by twisting two colours of thread together,in this case black and white which is knitted on an extremely rare English Wildt Mellor Bromley 3 thread knitting machine,which creates a very distinctive fabric finish.
Historically the colour of this particular yarn was known as “Newcastle”and appears to be a reference to Newcastle United Football club’s black and white stripe shirts.
