COTTON
These cotton fabrics (with the exception of Japanese selvage denim) are all woven or knitted in Britain, from long staple Indian or American cotton yarn. Where wool has a rich history of use for outerwear, uniforms, and tailoring, cotton was adopted for workwear as it is durable and relatively breathable. Cotton remains commonly used as an industrial fabric, for machine drums, conveyor belts, and printing beds, as it is resistant to deforming under tension or heat. Many of Tender’s original cotton fabrics are woven on a base warp set up for industrial applications.
