April 2024 we visited a new factory in Scotland
The factory is based in Dunfermline Fife and we will be making Luggage and outerwear at this facility using Scottish based Fabric suppliers
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.
Made In Portugal and predominately sold in Japan
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.
First produced as a collaboration with Bshop Japan; this is an enlarged version of one of Brady’s (established 1887 ) most classic bags the Kinross Tote.
