Paper Thin workshop detail
How it is made

Forty pieces at a time, then we stop.

Paper Thin is a ultralight layers label working from a 10-person workshop. We buy the 7-denier nylon first and design around whatever arrives, rather than ordering fabric to fit a sketch.

  • Bonded seams on every stress point
  • 1000-fill down alternative sourced from a mill we have used since day one
  • Free repairs for the first three years, whatever went wrong
  • Nothing destroyed at the end of a season — leftovers become the next run

★★★★★

The Packed-down vest arrived in two days and the 7-denier nylon is heavier than I expected for the price. I have washed it four times and it has not changed shape.

I bought the Travel pant, wrinkle-free after months of looking. The bonded seams is the detail that sold me — it does not feel like anything else I own.

Sizing was exactly as the chart said. The 1000-fill down alternative is soft without being delicate, and the packed-down stitch holds up to a week of wear.

Paper Thin — the whole range, one list.
