Mars Pants
Built from ballistic nylon and designed to make colonising our next planet a little bit easier.
- Outer material is 100% ballistic nylon
- Eight pockets for all your gear
- Warm and windproof
The last time we colonised a planet was around 50,000 years ago. And it led to the invention of clothing and complex tools, as well as the rapid evolution of languages, architecture and society. Now we’re at a unique point in human history where we have the ability to save our own planet at the same time as colonise new ones. So we’re designing for both. Because the future won’t invent itself.
Engineers, explorers, pilots, architects and scientists are all going to need gear up in space. And there’s a lot to design for – from shifting gravitational fields and space adaptation syndrome, to bathroom breaks. Which is why our Mars gear comes with a vomit pocket made from 3D printed Nylon powder, anti-gravity pockets for shifting gravity fields, and a horizontal fly based on flight gear.
Here on Earth you can wear our Mars Pants just like regular sweatpants. They just happen to be crazily warm and windproof, built from ballistic nylon, and come with 8 pockets. They’re also the toughest pants we’ve ever made, and designed to work here, or on any planet we choose to land on.
Sashiko Jacket
Reinforced with 1 million high-strength stitches, using the ancient Japanese art of sashiko.
Technical Details
The sashiko method helped pioneer sustainable clothing
The technique of sashiko, or ‘little stabs,’ is a highly resilient form of embroidery developed during the Japanese Edo period to repair torn and damaged clothes. Instead of today’s invisible mending, sashiko highlighted the rips, tears, frays and fringes of a piece of clothing, reinventing it with stitching in a contrasting thread. This simple ‘running stitch’ technique, used in repeating or interlocking patterns, not only gave clothes individual style, but also made them warmer, stronger and longer-lasting.
Sashiko needles were like magic wands
A long, sharp sashiko needle was sometimes referred to as a ‘magic wand.’ A tool that could not only save a piece of clothing, but make it more beautiful at the same time. Grey or white stitches against an indigo blue background were the classic sashiko combination, sometimes recalling blue mountains covered in snow, or the whitecaps on The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
It pioneers a new approach to creating highly durable clothing inspired by the ancient Japanese art of sashiko.
Buttons made from plants and vegetables
Sashiko jackets might have been utilitarian items of clothing, but they were still made with incredible attention to detail. So you’ll find three lined, twill patch pockets on the front of the jacket, and a fourth inside. The hem is finished with reinforced cotton herringbone tape. And the buttons on the cuffs and the placket are made of buffalo imitation bio-resin – a natural, non-toxic and water-based material we’ve produced by combining plant and vegetable waste with a polyester resin used by the aerospace industry.
