Collectivism since 1995
Olmetex established in 1954 is one of our most regular fabric suppliers having worked together for over 25 years.
Based in the Como Region in Northern Italy near the Swiss border which is an area famous for silk production.
Olmetex have supplied many specialist outerwear fabrics for us over the years and during this visit we investigated various proposals for new qualities as well confirming qualities as part of our S24 Bshop collaboration in Japan.
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.
