    No worries man

    the new space will be only 4 blocks from the current one so it will be very easy to get to as its the same train stop
    the commute for my staff will be the same, (which was very important to me) as opposed to moving to Williamsburg or even Jersey City where we could have gotten twice the space for less money.

    Our new space will be slightly smaller than the current one but just as nice, and also we will now be on the ground floor.
    We will be working out of our current location for another month to six weeks while we do a build out and transition to the new space.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Hello Friends.
    Over the next few weeks. Zam Barrett Dialogue and its Zfactorie production facilities will be moving to a new home.
    We have been in our present location at industry City in Brooklyn for six years. It has been a great ride but now its time to move on. Dont worry, we are only moving four blocks away so we will be in the same area as we have been.
    To facilitate our move, we are having a Massive Archival and sample sale. Clothing, equipment, machines, fabric, leather etc.
    All that we are not taking to our New space will be sold.
    to inquire please contact our Studio at: samplesale@zambarrett.com.

    Sale officially begins Tuesday April 11th!

                        THE MILITIA COMBAT PANTS


                        For the Fall 2014 Season, we produced a pair of Pants that was a study in Technical Mastery, but commercial absurdity. THE MILITIA COMBAT PANTS.
                        The pants was made from two different linens of two different weight, along with a third fabric for both knee and back yoke stretch panels in Gehring branded 4 way stretch tweave. A Fabric Made and marketed to the military for its performance capabilities under stressful conditions.
                        The Pants has 10 pockets, 28 patterns pieces, 25 of which needs to be paired when cutting in order to make the garment. It takes two professional tailors a total of 26 working hours in order to produce the pants in a way that is faithful to the original idea as it was conceived. This time does not include the cutting time and the dyeing and finishing processes that are needed to make the pants the final color that is needed.


                        Originally, in 2014 we made 9 pairs, there was an additional 4 pairs that were about 60% produced that we decided to leave as is........because..... it simply was not a profitable endeavor.
                        However, the creation of the pants was never about profit, it was about research and design capabilities, pushing boundaries and seeing what we can do, the same way a revered car company would develop a concept, not for the money or profit but for the sheer joy of executing a design idea.
                        After 3 years of having these semi finished pants in our archives, word got out that they existed, and a customer whom we prefer to keep private, convinced us to make him a pair. the cost was not much concern to him, he wanted something he could appreciate from us that was beyond the ordinary.........We obliged. He also wanted to be faithful to the military heritage of the pants so he asked us to make him a pair in Combat Green. His is the only pair existing in that color as the original production was black.
                        We are sharing with you now the process after we decided to finish the remaining pairs







                        THE COMPLETED PANTS IN ITS PRE DYED STATE






                        We are showing you here the completed pants in its original color before we de-color the pants to prepare it for dyeing.
                        As you can see, the lilac color is a dense 15 oz linen that is used to make the main body panels of the pants.
                        The front pockets, the Cargo Pockets and the knee reinforcements are all made in a lighter 10oz natural linen as both a weight saving mechanism and because these areas are all double layered and a lighter weight is needed to reduce bulk.



                        BACK YOKE.






                        Here is an image of the upper back, the Yoke is made of 4 way stretch tweave. this feature allows the pants to "perform" under the stress of bending one's knees, back or squatting, without the waist of the pants being lowered from its natural position while bring worn.

                        KNEE REINFORCEMENT.






                        Here is a close up of the knee reinforcement. the double layer construction is for added support and the upper and lower panel of 4 way stretch tweave adds performance to the knees under stressful conditions

                        KNEE REINFORCEMENT.
                        Post dyeing










                        SIDE POCKETS








                        Here is a picture of the side Cargo Pockets, they are made to military specifications,

                        THE SHAPE.
                        The original base pattern used for this pants was our classic Soft J. The pants was tweaked and adjusted so that it would meet military specification. WHILE THIS IS NOT A PANTS FOR SOLDIERS, it is a pants that was engineers in terms of cut and construction, faithful to the requirements of the Unites States Military







                        THE FINISHED PRODUCT:


                        After the pants was constructed, it was placed in a solution that was created to remove the original color so that it could be prepared for dyeing and also to soften the fabric.
                        The custom color was mixed by using a lighter shade green that was darkened by adding 3 parts Hunter Green, 1 part deep grey and one part black. The pants was dyed for two hours, rinsed to remove all dye residue, the redyed for one hour and allowed to sit in the dye solution overnight to achieve this effect.
                        The pants was then packaged and shipped to the Customer who I am sure will be very happy with the results.


                        THERE ARE 3 PAIRS OF THIS PANTS REMAINING. we will keep one pair for our archives and make the remaining two pairs available for FW17.
                        “You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”

                          SALE EXTENDED


                          We are extending our 30% off code for the remainder of the month. We are in the process of a VERY BIG production for the fall 2017 season. we are in no rush for the release of the items and we are taking out time to produce some of the best artisanal products we will be offering from our workrooms.
                          As a result we say it fitting to extend the sales code until the end of the month or until the first set of items for FW17 is released on Zfactorie.
                          We will be making another major announcement regarding what is to come for FW17 along with THE EXPANSION OF CATEGORY M. PRODUCTS FOR THE FW17 SEASON very soon.

                            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.








                            “You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”
