Heritage Workwear & Vintage Reproduction
136 entries · curated ORBIS register
Workwear, military surplus and vintage reproduction share this plate across four countries. From France come Armor Lux for the Breton stripe and Arpenteur in Lyon, with Bleu de Paname in Paris for workwear cut on military lines. Britain answers with Ben Sherman of Brighton for the mod shirt and Bates in London for military hats. Blackhorse Lane Ateliers makes selvedge denim in London, and AllSaints makes the leather jackets. America is here through Bills Khakis in Pennsylvania and American Giant in California, both of which still make in the country. Battenwear and Bode work in New York, and Blain's Farm & Fleet keeps the farm-supply counter that workwear was designed for. Japan's archival reproduction arrives through Anatomica in Tokyo, and Italy contributes the knitted socks of Bresciani in Brescia. E. Marinella on the Riviera di Chiaia in Naples closes the list with hand-made ties that predate every reproduction here.
