The Sandqvist x Ekstedt x C Store collection

caliroots — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:37:09 +0000

Together with Swedish restaurateur Niklas Ekstedt & accessory makers Sandqvist, Caliroots C Store presents a unique capsule collection celebrating the opening of Niklas’ new self titled restaurant “Ekstedts”.

The restaurant, which opens in mid November on Humlegårdsgatan in Stockholm, is given a distinct, lodge-like wooden decor & draws inspiration from Basque quisine, with cooking concentrated on a large open fire grill.

Niklas wanted the staff to wear aprons that matched the enviroment of the restaurant & came to us at the C Store for help. We suggested to collabo on this with the swedish bagmaker Sandqvist, which we thought would be an excellent choice for Ekstedts with their rugged canvas & leather accessories.

Consisting of a chef apron & knife case produced by Sandqvist using rugged cotton canvas & oiled leather detailing. Designed with the help of Niklas Ekstedt, whos expertise & long experience in kitchen work set the standard, the collection perfectly matches the rustic nature of “Ekstedts” & the aprons will be worn by the staff at the restaurant.

“The robust & simplistic design of Sandqvist was exactly what I was looking for. The aprons came out so good that I decided to use them for the staff at Restaurang 1900 aswell. Being part of the design process was something I really enjoyed!” says Niklas Ekstedt about the collaboration.

The apron (€99/SEK 895:-) & knife case (€79/SEK 695:-) is available in cobalt blue & khaki & can also be purchased as a gift set together with Niklas Ekstedt’s latest book on Swedish cuisine (€149/SEK 1495:-).

The Sandqvist x Ekstedt x C Store collection will be available for purchase exclusively through our C Store retail space on Regeringsgatan in Stockholm & online @ caliroots.com/c-store starting November 30d.

Arc’teryx Veilance

caliroots — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 09:49:47 +0000

Since it’s inception in 1989, Arc’teryx has been a brand known for pushing the boundaries of what can be done, both in terms of clothing manufacture & performance, with the goal to create the best possible product. With the Veilance line, Arc’teryx translates this way of thinking from outdoor apparell to focus specifically on the demands of urban use.

Ido (Arc’teryx Veilance) & Thomas (Caliroots brand manager)

Ido from Arc’teryx Veilance graced us with a visit in the store a couple of days ago, giving us the low-down on the methods of production & the brands extreme attention to quality & detail.

What is the main concept behind the Veilance line & what triggered Arc’teryx to start making apparell for urban use?

Arc’teryx has always been a company driven by our own demands. The laminated harness we developed in 1993 came about simply because we couldn’t find a product suitable for our own needs. With Veilance it’s the same idea, Tyler (Jordan, CEO of Arc’teryx) & Conroy (Nachtigall, Arc’teryx designer) felt there was a need for a jacket that was as good as one developed for outdoor performance, but designed to suit the needs of a person who lives & travels in the city.

It seems a lot of focus is being put into selecting the right fabrics. Do you work solely with Gore-Tex as your fabric supplier & are you using any fabrics specifically woven for Veilance?

Since the beginning we’ve always had a very close relationship with Gore-Tex. We have a mutual understanding & drive when it comes to developing new ideas & pushing things forward, sometimes working almost as a testing ground for Gore’s latest & most advanced fabrics. For Veilance, some of the fabrics we’re using are being released exclusively to us first before being made available to other brands. We do however work with some Japanese fabrics as well, but our main fabric supplier is Gore-Tex.

A lot of brands are designing their collections based on a seasonal idea or concept, often with it’s ground in the heritage of mens wear. Does this also apply to Veilance?

Not really. Arc’teryx has always been a technologically driven brand rather than heritage based. Sure, as with any mens wear brand our jacket styles are based on heritage military- & work-wear, but the main point of the design is to build a perfect product. Everything you see in our garments is carefully thought over. For instance, the sleeves on our jackets doesn’t go up when you raise your arm, this took two years of developing before Conroy was satisfied with the result. So rather than reinventing the whole line, each collection is based on updating a number of key styles based on color, fabric choice & slight design modifications.

Is everything made in Canada?

Yes, every piece within the Veilance line is made in Canada, in our own factory in Vancouver, just a few blocks from our main office. It is the same factory where we make the products for the LEAF program. LEAF is short for Law Enforcement & Armed Forces. Among other armed forces, we’re contracted by the US Marine Corps to produce some of their equipment that they use in the field. It’s in this factory that we can test new things & really get to push ourselves even further in order to create products that we can proudly say are the best ever made.

A/B P.I. Hagberg & Co

caliroots — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:58:15 +0000

This Thursday we’re throwing a party for one of the years most unique releases, A/B P.I. Hagberg & Co!

Per-Ivan Hagberg, known for his success with the Dunderdon label & his passion for Swedish work wear, has gone out of his way to create a product that is truly unique in this day in age: Mr Hagberg has managed to produce artisanal denim jeans in Sweden!

The first hand made jeans from A/B P.I Hagberg & Co is a tapered regular fit named H60, limited to 200 individually numbered pairs. The jeans are created on vintage Union Special machines using 12 oz Japanese selvage denim fabric of the highest quality, hand striked solid copper rivets, hand stamped patch made with vegetable tanned leather sourced from Swedish tannery Tärnsjö, hidden Iphone pocket within left front pocket & front buttons sewn on using solid super-strong airbag thread. The same model is also available in a coarse woven, uber heavy 19 oz selvage fabric, sourced from the same Japanese denim mill.

“My ambition when I started this project was to produce high quality jeans in Sweden. The denim production we once had disappeared in the late 70’s and early 80’s along with much of the other clothing manufacturing. My first task was to find someone with the skills and means to manufacture high quality jeans. In Borås, the former textile center of Sweden, I found a small, modern factory run by an enthusiastic team. They had the required skill and means to manufacture high quality jeans, and this convinced me that my ambitions would be fruitfull. Next on my list was to find fabrics and trims, preferably locally made. Japan is quite far from Sweden but that is where I found the denim I decided to use. I wanted it simply because of the superb quality. Some of the trims are made here, but more importantly, it is here in Sweden that we manufacture our jeans. One style is available. We call it the H60, a regular tapered fit in either 19 or 12 oz. selvage denim. I’m happy to have quality jeans made in Sweden once again, and very proud to be a part making them. I hope you like them too.”

/Per-Ivan Hagberg

These fine Swedish made denims from A/B P.I. Hagberg & Co will be released in store at the party on Thursday October 20th @ 18:00 CET & online @ 22:00 CET the same evening!

RSVP to the event on facebook

Thanks to Grolsch & A/B P.I. Hagberg & Co.
