BOLD INDIGO WEAVER’S BLANKET STRIPE
A weaver’s blanket is a short test run of fabric, used to experiment with different techniques before committing to a full warp length. Tender’s weaver’s blanket stripe alternates stripes of left hand, right hand, and broken twills with sections of plain weave fabric.
This version is woven in England on a solid warp of Japanese rope dyed indigo cotton yarn with contrasting bands of indigo cotton and undyed cotton weft.

TYPE 133 BIAS CUT TREWS
Bias cut trews are based on early trousers, which replaced knee-britches worn with knitted hose as practical leg coverings for men. They are cut entirely on the bias, so they will stretch around the knee and seat, shaping to fit the wearer over time.
TYPE 156 SPLIT BACK JEANS
Split Back Jeans are cut straight, with a very high waist. They hark back to the original research in 2010 for Tender's first jeans, adapted from vintage British Rail uniform trousers.
TYPE 005 ONE-STRAP TOTE BAG
The oversized One-strap tote bag is folded along the bottom edge, so there is no seam to create a weakness in the fabric. A single wide webbing strap loops around the bag twice, creating both handles, and is cut raw on the bias, at the overlap.
