Sashiko Chore Jacket
Reinforced with 1 million high-strength stitches, using the ancient Japanese art of sashiko.
- Made with Japanese indigo-dyed material
- Entire jacket reinforced with 5.5km of meta-aramid thread
- Garment-washed for a faded look
Reinforced with 1 million high-strength stitches, the Sashiko Chore Jacket pioneers a completely new approach to creating highly durable clothing, inspired by the ancient Japanese art of sashiko. The technique of sashiko, or ‘little stabs,’ is a highly resilient form of embroidery developed during the Japanese Edo period, where worn out garments were repaired using decorative hand stitches. Clothes would be mended again and again as they passed down the generations, getting stronger as they got older.
Rather than waiting until an item of clothing needs to be repaired, we’ve simply applied sashiko-style stitching in super-strong meta-aramid thread over the entire jacket at the start of its life. With a design based on early workwear jackets, it combines heavy-duty Japanese indigo cotton with 5.5 kilometres of high-strength stitching for comfort and durability.
100 Year Pants
Built with a Swiss supermaterial designed to see you through the next century.
Technical Details
The 100 Year Pants are built from a Swiss supermaterial that combats everything from wildfires to wild weather.
The pants blend extreme strength ripstop, 2 fireproof layers, the same aramid fibres you find in body armour, and carbon fibre.
Any contact with fire triggers the middle layer to expand to 1000x its size to keep you protected.
Woven with anti-static carbon fibre
The pants are also woven with carbon fibre that acts as an anti-static. As this material was originally developed for military and industrial applications it was intended to protect workers and soldiers against electrical discharge or from triggering explosive devices. In general we’d recommend avoiding environments where setting off explosions is a risk – but if you have no choice then the carbon fibre in these pants is designed to limit that risk.
Version 2 of our 100 Year Pants are lighter, stronger, stretchier, and designed to blend in anywhere.
A zipped fly with heavy duty metal press studs
The fly fastens with a zipper and two heavy duty metal press studs by Riri. The zipper is water repellent and protected by a storm flap, while the second metal stud is concealed behind a layer of fabric. And there are five 65mm belt loops that are designed to be compatible with almost any belt.
