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.

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

Oceanic Project :
As part of our Bshop Japan collaboration we were invited to work on our own version of a Brady Bags Established 1887 : The Raasay is an interpretation of the Brady staple the Kinross Tote : We increased the size of the bag plus adding & increasing the size of the inside pockets as well as adding our branding & unique colours: It is made using traditional triple layered water-resistant canvas, with bridle leather strap and trim, neatly finished with an adjustable cotton web strap.
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.
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.
