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.

Bshop Japan wanted to delve deep into the 6876 archive on their last visit & as we looked through a series of Overshirts a category that was strongly represented in pervious era’s. We eventually decided on a long sleeve version which is the Nith Overshirt, referencing a version last produced in 1998 & the looser fitting Short Sleeve
Overshirt
Fabrication from Haley Stevenson which was Inspired by their 1910 patent for waterproofing textiles, this finish is a combination of the driest wax and soft aero tumbling. This emulsified wax finish is perfect for lightweight breathable and weather repellent garments. It has a soft aged appearance, keeping all the character of natural cotton & is washable.
The fabric and construction gives the garment a light but substantial feel of a summer weight Jacket.
In 2004 inspired by the books and letters of Hunter S Thompson most notably “Fear and Loathing in America: The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist 1968–1976″
Six Eight Seven Six developed a collection which would reference but modernise classic American workwear styles; utilising & developing these garments with new details, trims and producing them in unique & progressive hybrid technical fabrics.
One of these styles was the Thompson jacket which we have decided to produce again as part of our Scotland Project.

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.

6876 Community Project 2023
T shirt & Sweatshirt
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.
