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.
Unique collaboration tone on tone branding

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.

S24 Overshirts
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.
Thompson Jacket Navy
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.
