Collectivism since 1995
Fifth edition of the iconic Six Eight Seven Six Sonora jacket which is also our first large scale “made to order” release.
A limited edition of 50 jackets were made at our premier outerwear manufacturer based in Iwate Japan.
Technical aspects: Three layer 100% laminated nylon with seam taped interior & reverse coil zips
In 1995 Six Eight Seven Six was launched citing the Situationist International’s ethos, student activism in Europe, The USA,Japan & the year zero explosion that was punk rock. 50 years later we are returning to Paris after a long hiatus to present our capsule Modern Studies range and after numerous requests we have decided to commemorate this anniversary with a product.
This time we’ve dispensed with the now familiar imagery that represents 68 and have produced a T-shirt with words and true to the Situationist spirit presented it in the style of a Band Tour T-shirt .
What can the revolutionary movement do today?
Everything.
What is it turning into in the hands of the parties and the Unions ?
Nothing.
What does it want?
The Realisation of a classless society through the power of the workers councils.
Council for the maintenance of occupations.
