Bobbin and Katy's STORY mfg.

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

DAAAAAARN.

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

Charles from Slow Club again seems to be repping us pretty hard. We've had more than a few people buy off the back of him wearing it on telly. I think we only have one left but that's probably fine because he's ordered a black one.

We just hit the jackpot. Sadly a Lancashire mill who made showerproof fabrics for a certain British brand has powered down its looms and shut up shop.

Happily we now own the fabrics.

Now that I've got my hands on Cleanthug's pair of Hank 8 0 Jeans, I figured I should post. Bobbin and Katy, what kind of devil magic did you use to make these so soft? Surely these aren't overdyed Pajama Jeans? Either way, I'm in love with the rise and overall fit of these. Hope to get a job soon so I can support Story instead of cherrypicking the secondhand market. These photos are abysmal and/or disturbing.

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

Thanks - next time you buy there should be a companion to keep you company while you wait for your order.

They're little product zines with mouth watering images. Under construction now.



First three are Spitehouse, 0 Jean and the Time jacket.

News on the & Coat this week, our showeproof parka. Trying to work it so we can open orders and make them before Christmas but it may be difficult.

hank 2s finally found their way home!! thanks b&k for your patience and making sure these arrived --

better pics to follow.

[harmsalmon]

didn't think it would work financially for me to get any STORY pieces anytime soon but for a shower proof coat I may have to rethink that........ :^)

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

If I was a drug dealer I would be severely guilty of getting high on my own supply.

i'd love to pick up some jeans and a scarf! I'll probably pick them up in the summer.

bobbin what denim should i get for summer wear

[finolino]

sort of a basic question but does anyone know how do story jeans fit in comparison to jeans of other prominent brands? i'm interested in picking up a pair in a few months once the paychecks all add up, but am absolutely terrified, as i am every time i buy online, of it not fitting on the waist properly. i like a kinda tight fit on the waist so that no belt is required, and wear a 30/31 in levi's 501's (can never be sure due to bad qc). anyone?

edit: thanks, will probably size down an inch to account for stretching

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

Hey sorry we are mega rushed. When you get round to picking some up just email us and we can help you through it all.

This happened

More pics to follow.

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

This coat is really exciting and has been so well received. The fabric is sadly not infinite which is part of the reason we only offered it for a weekend. Anyway! Look at Katy.

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

I'm actually not sure how many Story &Coat buyers are on here (apart from Heckawheel) but if you are you might be pleased to hear that the jackets are almost done and should be in the post Saturday.

I actually have a couple more extra ordered if anyone is interested. They're officially off sale now but you know how to get hold of me.

Got to take some pics of ' time jacket yesterday. My favorite shot

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

Really lovely picture. I feel really happy when you can see the proper colour because that's one of the best bits.

The indigo black stuff actually has black and dark blue in it which I've been trying to capture for ages but its really difficult.

READ ALL CARE-TAGGERS

Just want to say hello and thank you. I’ve been on here over a year now, after being invited by via reddit, and while I was hesitant at first it turned out to be a great decision.

It’s no secret I have a brand with Katy and one of the best things about having it is being able to share it with people. Talking about it as a ‘journey’ sounds wet, but it’s a good description and it’s important to have people with us on journeys because we need insight.

We try to innovate and be visionary in our own way. We stand firm on decisions and offerings that people tell us wont work, or wont sell, because we think they may be out of time. We want to be change makers, again in our small way, but having people around us influences our treatment.

I haven’t had one iota of negativity here, and very little elsewhere. We’re an indie brand that could quite easily be totally destroyed by negativity, so I really appreciate it. Not that anyone has a reason to be negative…

In any case. Katy and I were working on some stuff last night and I realised that in a year we’ve gone from one product, to a sturdy range. Next year we’ll continue with what we feel are our classics, and likely have footwear and more accessories.

Next drop is our short sleeved summer shirt, which we’re releasing on xmas day. No idea if that’s a great idea, but Katy and I always like to think our offerings are ‘seasonless’.

Finally a shout out to . If this was a different forum, not naming names, we would have to pay to have this thread. We don’t pay to have this thread and we wouldn’t have been able pay this year.

that shore shirt looks amazing, love that colour


also the preorder on christmas day sounds like an evil marketing plan, i have no money now but i might have some for christmas. will i be able to resist getting it?

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

We wanted to have it up earlier but Christmas day is the only day either of us have free. However if they sell out within minutes I retract that last statement and crown myself a genius.

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

Should have shirts in hand beginning of next week and we'll ship asap.

If you haven't heard we are opening a studio/shop. Pick up the keys this weekend.

I hope every one of you will come join us for a cup of tea in the SLOW STUDIO.

[can-]

can I remote in?

[stappard_]

How dire is the last-few-pairs warning for the jeans on the facebook page? I need to know how much longer I can dither for

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

Depends which size/fabric. Black is super rare now.

[limeliam]

is there going to be a restock on the green time jacket?

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

Maybe - I've had more requests for that jacket in red and green than anything else. We got more red but green is more tricky. If you email b@storymfg.com and put 'green time jacket' in the subject I'll do a search and mail if we get some in.

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

We moved the SLOW STUDIO for the first time today.

Come visit our working studio as we tour the London canals. Have a hot drink and browse the collection.

By appointment only. (We move every two weeks)

[maj]

are these vegan????

HIGH PERFORMANCE YOU SAY??

[sknss]

Are they made of pineapple leather?

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

Not this time. You can see them tomorrow - we should have them in hand by then.

Proper pair of British shoes.

They're called 'TRF shoes', or, unabbreviated 'Two Right Feet shoes'.

[mahi-mahi]

How would you wear them?
