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.
Unique collaboration tone on tone branding

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.
Le Tricoteur prides itself on using only traditional manufacturing methods handed down through the centuries.All our garments are unisex and our guernseys are reversible (they should be worn front to back and back to front on rotation)
À la perchoine : until the next time / see you again
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.
