The Magnus Protocol Collection - A merch collab with Knock Thrice

Hi folks,

You may have seen some teasers on social media this week, but today can officially announce a very exciting collaboration! We’ve teamed up with Knock Thrice, a queer and female-owned small apparel business specialising in highly decorated, whimsical clothing items.

Knock Thrice has created a gorgeous collection for The Magnus Protocol, featuring high quality, 90s throwback retro style garments and accessories, available in a wide range of sizes.

(Image description: A grid of 9 photographs of items in The Magnus Protocol Collection from Knock Thrice.

The middle row, from left to right: A person wears a baseball cap and sweater featuring embroidered details of an old CRT monitor and computer tower; A person wearing a black denim jacket, featuring patches and embroidery inspired by alchemy; a person wearing a black knitted beanie with Mr Bonzo’s face on it. The bottom row, from left to right: A person wearing a red and grey cardigan, with embroidered stationary poking out of the pocket; a messenger bag featuring the OIAR crest; detail of an arm of a sweater made of yellow jersey and embroidered with the words “property of: C. Becher”.)

The collection includes:

• The first shift red, grey and slate knitted cardigan, featuring embroidered alchemic symbols and pocket full of stationary

• IT Department “dad” cap, with an embroidered IT logo and corrupted computer

• IT Department jersey crewneck, with colour blocked red and yellow sleeves and an embroidered 90s computer and vaporwave style text reading “Information Technology”

• OIAR employee handbook – a red faux leather notebook with alternating lined and blank pages. The inside covers feature notes and doodles from Alice.

• A stone washed denim jacket, reflecting some of the notes Sam may have taken about cases, with doodles and notes. Alchemic runes line the collar.

• The Magnus Messenger bag, with a laptop pocket and plenty of places to store all your possessions during your boring night shift job. The bag comes with a choice of Protocol-themed iron-on patches (not pictured)!

• VHS Glitchwave knitted cardigan, featuring scan line detailing, and glitched OIAR logos.

• Voyeur black stone washed oversize t-shirt. The best t-shirt you’ve ever seen. It needs to be seen to be believed.

• Welcome to Bonzoland knitted beanie. The body of the beanie shows Me Bonzo’s face in all his happy, smiley glory – until you roll down the brim and see something nightmarish…

We have been so impressed by the level of dedication, passion, time and talent that creator and owner, Norah Galea, and her team have poured into this bespoke collection. Every item has been made to an incredibly high standard, going through multiple samples during the design process to ensure that they are just right.
