@Zamb thats a really nice look at the combat pants.

Yes it is, we started with the J cut pattern, but made significant adjustments to in in order to achieve what we desired
I think the only portion from the J pants that remained untouched was the side Panel

CATEGORY M

Over the last 4 to 5 seasons, Zam Barrett Dialogue has produced a line of products quietly with the Category M label.
I am sure by now many of our customers own several garments with this label, shipped to them from our workrooms here at Zfactorie.
This article is with the intent to clarify, and help our clients to understand what is category M and how it fits and relates to the other aspects of our brand.
Also it is important for them to know know that beginning the fall 2017 season, Category M will be a stand alone category/ sub-brand with its own full range of products from Outerwear, to tops, pants, and accessories existing alongside the Zam Barrett Brand.







WHAT IS CATEGORY M
The products we make here at Zfactorie are divided into three groups based on the first name of the founding designer Zam Barrett.

The breakdown is as follows:



Z - Mainline items, heavily based on research and design, with higher end fabrics, experimental cuts, tailored goods, leathers etc.

A - Accessories, self explanatory. Bags, Belts, Scarves, Beanies, Wallets, etc etc etc.

M - Mass produced items that experience little or no change in terms of design, from season to season. Items such as Henriksson Hoodies, DNA Jeans, Tanks, tops such as the Echadh etc fall under this category.

Before the FW17 season, Category M did not have any outerwear and there was not much distinction between the pricing of category M and the Z category products.





WHAT WILL CHANGE

Several things
Category M will be expanded into its own full range of products to include Outwear and Tailored goods
The pricing will also change significantly in relation to Z category items

Category M will have tops ranging from $80 USD up to a Max of $180 USD at full retail
Category M pants will range from around 280 up to 390 at full retail
Outerwear will cap out at $610 maximum at retail



The Fabrications will of course be different, it will still have its commitment to natural fabrics, but category M will be more Cotton and Linen based with a lot more jeans, canvas etc. Where there is leather it will function as a detail / trim in category M products rather than a full garment.

The finishings for category M will be more raw, less refined but still within the artisanal ethos of the Zam Barrett Brand





ZAM BARRETT

As we expand Category M, Zam Barrett (the mainline) will take on a more focused tone. the will be the expansion of leather and tailored goods. the elimination of "basics" and a more focus on experimental and researched offerings.
there will be a lot more outerwear, More tailored goods, more non jeans pants, more shirting in fine fabrics.

That coat in the 50% of image looks kind of Schneider-esque (possibly just because of the colorblocking). Looking forward to seeing the FW stuff.

 

[Lohikaarme]

Hey Zam, how cross-seasonal are your weightless items? Do they all use the same fabric? I think I'm able to get a weightless blazer from a few seasons ago but I'm not sure if it'll match the weightless DNAs you're selling to actually become a suit.
