16oz SELVAGE DENIM
Tender’s 16oz blue-line selvage denim is custom-woven in Japan, then shipped to the UK loomstate, to be finished or cut and sewn directly.
Ring-spun unbleached American cotton is rope dyed with 25 dips of pure indigo, with no back tinting or sulphur, giving an exceptionally dark blue-black fabric which fades beautifully with wear, and forms an excellent base for other natural and historical overdyes.
The yarn is heavily starched during the weaving process, so it arrives quite stiff and will soften considerably as it ages. Because it has not been pre-skewed, the yarn unwinds with washing, causing the clothing to twist and shape to the body.
Denim molleton is the same base denim fabric, woven in Japan and then heavily raised through spiked rollers in the UK, giving it a soft fluffy surface similar to a heavy flannel or moleskin.
Unborn denim jeans are packed immediately after sewing- they will arrive considerably oversized and shrink down to fit with their first wash or hot soak. Buy your normal size.

TYPE 904 CROSS CUT JEANS JACKET
The 904 jacket follows the season's experiments with cross cutting: the pattern is laid sideways across the denim fabric, which governs the length of the body and sleeves, which both finish with horizontal selvage lines.


TYPE 128 STRAIGHT JEANS
Straight Jeans are a distillation of what a pair of Tender jeans should be. There is no yoke and no shaping in the side seams- the outside seam is a straight selvage line all the way up to the waistband.


TYPE 102 CROSS CUT SHORT JEANS
These shorts are cut on the Type 132 Wide Jeans pattern, but, following the season's experiments with cross cutting, the pattern is laid sideways across the denim fabric.
