SNEAK PEEK - Fall Winter Collection

BTW people, this is Ventile:
_Ventile is made from 100% cotton, densely woven in the U.K. from the finest, long staple fibre.
Ventile is not coated or laminated yet the combination of the dense weave and the swelling properties of the fibres when wet provide excellent weatherproofing.
It is an entirely natural product that offers a unique level of comfort, look and feel as well as being windproof, highly breathable, very durable and quiet.
Ventile fabrics are used in some of the worlds finest outerwear performance garments and have military, medical and workwear applications.
What's more, they look great._

It will….................
And it's funny, in the UK, we all know what Ventile is, but it appears not to be so well known abroad, hence me posting the info.......
It is one of the most traditional natural waterproofed fabrics available. It is not particularly cheap though as the fibres have to be super long to work properly. Think of most luxurious Egyptian cotton high thread count sheets you have ever slept in.

Just make sure those are available in September as Europe's weather is getting bad starting around that month!

One of the bomb-proof things Haraki showed us was a new 19oz indigo hickory stripe. It is unreal. I have just been chatting to Haraki and we have decided that we will release the items made out of this gfabric in a hard washed version too. Heresy, I hear you say, well I tell you the end result is stunning and I think far more wearable from the get go. And even after we've beaten the living shit out of it in the washer, you'll still have years of life left in the stuff. The Vintage Hickory Collection.

So this is a super duper heavy weight bikers cargo pant. Likely to come out in 3 colours. This and Khaki and Black. The Cord is the big stubborn brother of the needle cord used in the western shirt above. Again designed by Haraki. Technically this cord is really complex, suffice to say it is damn dense. These are likely to be released under the Triple Worls label.
And here are some pics of the waffle weave. It is NOT garment dyed. Someone commented on not thinking the snaps were very Iron Hearty, well (despite the tags), this is going to be a Triple Works release too. And that is exactly what Triple Works will be: The same superb craftsmanship, the same painstaking attention to detail and fabrics, but much more experimental
