Scramble x ThruDark “Enshu” Collection
The Enshu collection, brought to you by Scramble and ThruDark, is a collaborative release centred around Brazilian jiujitsu. ThruDark is one of the leading premium / technical / outdoor apparel clothing brands in Europe, founded by two special forces operatives, Anthony ‘Staz’ Stazicker and Louis Tinsley.
ThruDark co-founders Anthony ‘Staz’ Stazicker CGC and Louis Tinsley spent a combined 27 years in the British military, 18 of which were spent in the UK Special Forces. During this time, the two operated in some of the most hostile conditions and environments on the planet, undertaking dangerous operations regularly under the cover of night.
Upon leaving their distinguished and decorated military careers behind, Staz and Louis co-founded the high performance clothing brand “ThruDark”. Starting with a highly technical “Summit Suit”, the pair helped break mountaineering records including the fastest time to summit all 14 8,000m peaks and the first ever winter ascent of K2. Expanding on their initial range of cold weather expedition gear, the brand has grown to encompass premium apparel, technical activewear, hot weather clothing and more.
Scramble is the leading Brazilian jiujitsu, grappling and MMA brand in Europe, and have leant their expertise in creating BJJ kimonos and nogi training wear to this collaboration. Scramble was founded by second degree Brazilian jiujitsu black belt Matt Benyon in 2009.
The collection features military-inspired details combined with hand-drawn elements. The Scramble x ThruDark skull lockup draws from the ever-popular skull motif, a constant reminder of our own ultimately limited time on this earth – and an image often co-opted by military and special forces. Underneath the skull there are two knives – one is a Japanese short sword, and one is the iconic Fairbairn-Sykes (F-S) Fighting Knife, used by British military and special forces. This symbolises the coming together of the two brands.
Underneath the skull, there is the Japanese phrase Jakuniku kyōshoku (弱肉強食) which is an idiom meaning “the weak are meat, the strong eat,” – essentially the “law of the jungle” or “survival of the fittest.” This is a phrase applicable to both military and martial arts scenarios and reflects the harsh reality of both of those.
As well as the hand-drawn elements, this collection features repeated use of a fully custom designed Tiger Camo pattern. Tiger Camouflage was used extensively during the Vietnam war, and is used here in a mostly aesthetic sense as it is a personal favourite of Scramble Matt, from the many varieties of camo developed by armed forces around the world over the decades.
These elements appear across the following products in this collaboration:
