Le Tricoteur Charcoal

Le Tricoteur for 6876  : À la Perchoine (a la per-shoy-n )

Guernsey Patois, or Guernesiais as it is known locally, is a very ancient tongue indeed. A descendant of old Norman French and developed in splendid isolation within the island it has become a true ‘language apart’.

The loss of Normandy in 1204 by the then English King John and the subsequent election by the Channel Islands to stay loyal to the English crown meant that the Norman French spoken by the islanders was destined to follow a different path to that on mainland France.

The quintessential fisherman’s jumper in charcoal Grey

Featuring a tightly woven worsted wool body with ribbing at the shoulder and side seam splits.Hand finished by local knitters trained and living on the island of Guernsey.

Le Tricoteur prides itself on using only traditional manufacturing methods handed down through the centuries.All our garments are unisex and our guernseys are reversible (they should be worn front to back and back to front on rotation)

A working and friendship relationship that has lasted 26 years; Neil Morris in his various projects and brands has always been a supporter and friend to 6876.

Starting with a support letter to the Prince’s trust for the seminal Drooghi Magazine to the current launch of the Avilés boot manufactured in Spain the journey continues.

Duror Jacket

January 2023 Bshop & 6876 reconvened our relationship at the studio in the Brunswick Centre HQ.

The aim to produce unique and high quality products in collaboration for predominately the Japanese market.

As the buyers studied recent and archive garments they singled out a once sampled but enevr produced modernist pullover in a light technical cloth. The Bshop vision was to slightly remodel the scale and shape and produce in Ventile which immediately raised profile of the style.

From this meeting the Duror style was born as the signature garment of the collection which also features Le Tricoteur , Brady bags and Lochcarron Scarfs.

Tartan Scarfs AW2023

As part of our A23 collaboration we have reintroduced and updated our work with Lochcarron of Scotland’s  100% lambswool scarfs. Hand printed in London  incorporating text and the 6876 original woodcut font.
