#rivetandhidearchive Instagram
We have just launched the #rivetandhidearchive on Instagram, to encourage our followers to record and share their experiences with the brands we carry. We want to see you wearing, evolving, and living in the garments produced by these labels. All you need to do is post an image on Instagram and include #rivetandhidearchive and the relevant brand hashtag from the list below in your Instagram post. At the end of October we’ll give a pair of jeans to the follower who posts our favourite image – this will be a pair from our first ever denim collaboration, so watch this space for updates and more details…

Hiut Denim Co Hacks Rivet & Hide's Window Space
Knit is a local creative technology agency. They are one group of people who truly live up to this widely used title. They have utilised the window space at our Windmill Street store to create an installation, which allows potential customers to hear the story of Hiut Denim and the product details as they interact with different parts of the product by touching the relevant icons on the outside of the window.
This is the first time that conductive ink has used through glass and as part of an in-store retail installation. As people walk past the store a sensor detects their proximity and a random audio sample using transducer speakers on the window encourages them to find out about the story about Hiut Jeans. For example, “Our town is making jeans again. Touch the window to find out more.”
The icons represent different parts of the brand story and are painted onto the inside of the window using conductive ink, with wires on the inside of the window linking to the relevant parts of the product. Inside the pair of jeans includes various Arduino microcontroller units to control the audio samples and triggers.
The conductive ink is able to detect the change in the capacitance as the person touches the window icon, which in turn triggers the circuit to play the relevant audio sample. As well as audio, light bulbs are also triggered to switch on to create visual impact.

To coincide with the launch of the conductive ink window installation we have restocked all of Hiut Denim Jeans.
We have also introduced the new SlimR fit which is exactly what the name suggests. A slimmer version of the Slim cut with a narrow leg opening. The Japanese selvedge comes from Kuroki as before. The new denim has a slight green cast and a touch of slub.
This small group of denim workers deliver some very highly crafted jeans from this remote coastal town in Wales.-Rope-dyed 14.5 oz Kuroki mill selvedge denim

That window space is beyond super cool. Great work being open to new ideas and moving the conversation forwards. Would love to see more videos on it!
I'd love another video too. The Creative review have done a blog on it already

Quick Q for the R&H crew, was going to email but it may be a bit of a public service email also as I'm sure we are not alone in planning a pre-xmas London jaunt; are you going to be shut any weekends in December? Cheers.
