Scotland’s Method Design “As solid and surprising as a Glasgow Kiss”, create luxury handmade furniture from their Glencoe workshop. Marissa, an architect and Callum,  a second generation cabinetmaker aim to create innovative pieces with a nod to traditional design and methods. With the dedicated denim head in mind they created this intricate Ash framed structure for Denham.

A one off for the 100% Design Exhibition, entitled “a Steamer Trunk for a Jeanmaker”. With those traditional travelling trunks in mind from the days when travel was a bit more glamorous than a printed e-ticket, this is a quality piece of craftsmanship with more drawers, shelves, engineered fixings and interconnected joints then you can shake a stick at.

Denham offer the ‘RECUT’ version of The Nautilus jacket for winter wear. This naval inspired piece is filled with technical specifications but its most interesting feature is the removable cowl – hood and shoulders – that leaves behind a plain tunic inspired by Royal Navy issue. Add to that heavy ripstop canvas from Dutch military tarpaulin, leather pulls and all manner of pockets and toggles and you’ve got yourself something suitable for all seafaring adventures. Find it at Denham.

Encouraged by the success of Autumn/Winter 2010 Longshore Pea Coat, Denham include an updated version of the garment for their new Autumn/Winter collection, reaffirming its status as one of their key outerwear designs. The Pea Coat arrives in not one, but a trio of exciting fabrics; black painted canvas, (Fox Brothers & Co) Melton wool and robust Japanese denim. The coat’s overall design draws influence from vintage naval outerwear, yet deviates from the box-fit of archetypal works attire, parading a number of modernist revisions and a streamlined silhouette.

The various fabrications offer an intelligent spectrum of choice, each with its own unique selling points; the painted canvas exudes a sense of contemporary flair, the Melton wool airs of the side of tradition and the denim option subtly hints at Japan’s fixation with all things Americana, the later providing a great transitional piece from late summer through to autumn. -jr

Amsterdam’s Denham follows and works the heritage movement better than most. Their latest Mohawk chino uses old Dutch Army tents  for fabrication. “The new men’s Mohawk pays homage to 1950’s work wear chinos through the use of Talon hardware and cat-eye suspender buttons and generally excruciating attention to detail. These new chinos takes those ideas into the present day adding tailored waistband and Denham’s signature darted articulation. The Mohawk shape is available in a variety of different colours as well as the limited edition Re-Cut fabrication which employs washed Dutch Army Tent disassembled and re-crafted into the main fabric.”

The “Jack Shirt Jacket” offers a classic military styling with a modern take on the silhouette. “The adjustable cuff, waistband and full button up front make it an adaptable style for many different combinations.” The shirt is made of a 100% Cotton twill that makes it breathable. This overshirt would look great over any oxford for added layering. It’s available at Denham.

Jason Denham, the brains behind Denham the jeanmaker, bring us a new take on denim. The “Skin” jean is a slim fitting pant that offers a “Virgin Black Teflon” coat. The welt pocket detail has a button closure for added security of each pocket. There’s also a hunting detail at the knee for more movement and less constriction. This detail takes note from older style hunting pants. “An innovative yoke construction visually drops the posture of the front waistline whilst retaining a standard wearable rise measurement and all signature details.” A true collector’s item that not only fits well, but it will bring high contrast fading to the fabric that will look very interesting over time. It’s available at RevolverSF.
