100 Year T Shirt
Built with Japanese Cordura it’s 14x tougher than a regular cotton t shirt.
- Built with military grade Japanese Cordura
- Highly abrasion resistant but incredibly soft
- Fast drying and moisture wicking
Engineered with a blend of military grade Japanese Cordura and cotton, the 100 Year T Shirt is just as soft as a regular cotton t shirt, but it’s 14x stronger. The challenge for the 100 Year T Shirt was simple – build a t shirt that’s tough enough to outlive you, but comfortable enough for you to want to spend the rest of your life in. The reality of most t shirts is that after a few years they start to break down, then they’re thrown out. The 100 Year T Shirt is different. While it looks like a regular cotton t shirt and feels like a regular cotton t shirt, it’s made from a material so tough it was originally developed for military combat uniforms.
Carbon Fibre Jacket
Engineered with carbon fibre spirals that work like high-strength springs.
Technical Details
With an atomic structure stronger than steel, carbon fibre is normally used to reinforce components in missiles, jet engines and the world’s fastest cars.
Every jacket comes with 180 metres of carbon fibre filaments engineered into spirals that work like high-strength springs.
Carbon fibre increases the jacket’s tensile strength
We weave the 180 metres of carbon fibre strands directly into a base material of Nylon and elastane in a grid structure. The strands of carbon fibre run horizontally and vertically throughout the entire jacket. And this carbon fibre grid works like an advanced ripstop, reinforcing the jacket by increasing its tensile strength, abrasion resistance and elasticity.

Abrasion resistant, water repellent and breathable
The carbon fibre ripstop works with the Nylon base material to add abrasion resistance, protecting you and the jacket against damage caused by friction. We’ve coated the outside of the material with a water repellent treatment so that light rain rolls off its surface. And the jacket is also fast drying and breathable when you’re working hard.
The jacket is cut in a minimalist track jacket shape, making it versatile and easy to wear through every season.
It's the atomic structure that makes carbon fibre so strong
A single carbon fibre is a long, super thin strand of material around 0.005mm across and composed almost entirely of carbon atoms. These atoms bond together to form microscopic crystals that line up parallel to the length of the fibre. It makes the atomic structure of carbon fibre similar to graphite and graphene – with sheets of carbon atoms arranged in a regular hexagonal pattern. And it’s the arrangement of the atoms that makes carbon fibre so strong for its size.
We’ve taken carbon fibre out of the world of aerospace and military engineering and used it to build the Carbon Fibre Jacket.
Carbon fibre as a composite
Carbon fibres are typically combined with other materials to make a composite. That’s why the classic image of carbon fibre is the black and grey checks on a bike frame or supercar. These are carbon fibres impregnated with a plastic resin and baked to create carbon fibre reinforced polymer. If your jacket was made from that it would be completely solid, so we’ve done something different.
