Label 01Care: wear loud

Thirty-eight offcuts.

Every panel on this jacket was cut from something else, then swept off a factory floor.

Label 02Origin: everywhere

Nothing here was bought new.

Tent nylon, workwear canvas, a sofa's checkerboard. The pockets are still the pockets they used to be.

Label 03Back: also loud

Every side tells a different story.

Turn around and it is a new jacket. We lay the back out last, from whatever is left on the table.

Label 04Fit: yours

Made to be worn loud.

A boxy puffer with a real down fill. Warm enough for January, impossible to lose in a crowd.

Label 05Edition: 1 of 1

No two alike. Ever.

Drop 07 is 120 jackets. None of them match, including the two we kept.

Why we started

Garment factories throw away around fifteen percent of every roll they cut. We go and get it, sort it by weight and colour, and build it back into something nobody could have planned.

The patchwork, up close

Hover a panel to straighten it. Every one of them had a life before this jacket.

Salvage

We collect cutting-room offcuts from nine factories every Monday, before they reach the skip.

Panels sorted around a chest pocket

Sort

By weight first, then colour. Anything under twenty centimetres becomes a pocket or a patch.

Stitch

One maker builds one jacket, front to back, over three days. No two makers lay a back out the same way.

Sign

The maker signs the inside label and logs every panel's origin, so you know what your jacket used to be.
