Premium Vaults
Hanon x Six Eight Seven Six Collaboration which had a very limited release in 2014 & the product is now available once more after ten years in hibernation.
The Hiller jacket was produced in Eta Proof (Ventile) cotton by Stotz Switzerland.
This premium performance cotton with extra long staple fibre yarns that are gently spun and twisted, then woven into an extremely dense plain weave cloth. The result is a dense all weather fabric which has a natural touch and comfort with rain & wind protection with natural breathability.
The design language of the jacket references vintage US suppliers of the 1950’s but has been updated with contrast mesh lining and YKK zips.

Scotland project W2 x 6876
AW 2024 we will be collaborating with https://www.w2store.co.uk/
Emerging from the culmination of the Comme des Garçons guerrilla project in 2009 the store was created by David Mullane one of the most important figures in Scottish retail dating back to The Wearhouse in the 1980’s :
From 2010 onwards W2 branched out to offer a select number of brands & in 2023 entered into a new period with new leadership:
This winter we are producing exclusive Made in Scotland bags, hats & Ties as well as unique T-shirts: Finally W2 will be the only store to stock the Trail Sonora
Archive fabric ties
At our facility in Scotland one of their skills is the production of hand made Ties. 6876 has never produced ties so we decided to take a unique approach and use archive cloths.
Fabrics that have been utilised are Hainsworth Military wool barathea, graphic modernist cotton interpretations of tartans and to follow this Autumn a Japanese woven interpretation of British Army denim mixed with wool.
Messages Bag
“The Messages or going to get the messages”
Scottish phrase meaning to go and buy Groceries
6876 Tote bag with unique construction including outside pocket.
This style has been made in Scotland using Hainsworth Fabric from the company archive.
The quality is a British Army wool Barathea; comprising of a worsted weave which is a process differing to a highly woollen produced fabric.
Barathea is versatile, with elegant drape and exceptional handle. Due to its coarse texture, the fabric has natural recovery abilities and quickly returns back to its natural shape.
