What makes this garment special?
This loose, hooded, toss on and go jacket, has some pretty significant differences from others you have seen. The fabric used is a specially treated oiled poplin. This makes it age with you and shows everything that it goes through directly on its skin. So if it's folded, scratched, pulled on, it will wear a mark for the life of the jacket. This is special because it means each and every one of them is truly different based on what you experience while wearing it. The inside also lacks a lining of any kind and is left raw so you can see exactly how the garment was made and why things are the way they are with it. Finally, the side zip pockets add the final touch of intrigue to this piece.

N8 quality and care
Items being handmade and made to order make them more sustainable to produce. There is little to no waste when an item is created. The exact amount of needed fabric is sourced at the time of the order, there is no wasted working hours on pieces that sit unsold, and there is no leftover inventory that oftentimes becomes waste. N8 focuses on quality, timeless pieces over trends so they can be worn over and over and last much longer than fast fashion options. This process inevitably raises the price point of these garments, but we believe it’s our responsibility to take the necessary steps to be a sustainable fashion brand, no matter the cost.

Creativity
The first step in my creative process is oftentimes the most difficult. Finding the inspiration for a new piece. When it doesn’t find me, I need to make it.
I lay out new fabric swatches, fabrics I have used in the past, pull up artists I love, and start drawing. I draw shapes, lines, colors, thoughts, anything that comes to mind when in that space. Then I start drawing those thoughts on forms in the shape of a garment I would like to create. I will put shoes on that might go with certain fabrics, certain tops and bottoms that have some of the shapes I’m looking for. Just to get the mental map of what im trying to do. Hopefully while doing all of this I find a few fabrics/shapes/thoughts I really like or are at least interesting, to move forward with. And if they don’t pan out, either I can take a bit of it and start anew, or its back to drawing board so to speak.
