Our story

Clothes that carry the mark of use.

A tidemark is the line the water leaves on a quay wall or a hull. It shows how high the tide came and how long it stayed. We liked the idea of clothes that collect marks like that: creases at the elbow, a darker snap, a paler fold. Not a logo. A record.

What we make

Heavy cloth, brass hardware

Harbour 01 is the collection in the shop now: coats and parkas, a fisherman sweater and a cardigan, and a striped top. The cloth is heavy on purpose: felted wool, waxed cotton, washed canvas, thick knits and heavy cotton jersey. The hardware is brass.

Everything is built to be worn hard. If you want to know why we choose what we choose, the Journal has short notes on felted wool, on brass and on caring for waxed cotton.

Who it is for

People who work the water

We make workwear for people who work the water, and for anyone who likes clothes that do not mind the weather. You will find the pieces on the shop pages, each with its cloth and its hardware named plainly.
