All of the woollen fabrics woven and knitted into Tender’s garments are produced in the UK, from New Zealand and British wool. Wool fibres are particularly receptive to dyeing, so traditional dyes appear darker on woollen garments than on cotton and linen. Traditionally, wool was the commonest British yarn- when a dye colour is described historically it can be assumed to be used on wool. For example madder, which might have dyed red onto a wool coat, will provide a soft pink on less amenable cotton or linen cloth.
Unlike most Tender jackets, which have a straight cut front, the Two:One jacket has shaped lapels with a large belly, to use the tailor's term.
The Edited Jeans Jacket is a simplified version of the Type 901 Pleat Pocket Jeans Jacket, cut straight with a centre back seam.
The first Tender jacket, cut with yokes grown on to the back panel, so that the shoulder is seamless and cut on the bias, for a particularly comfortable fit over time.
The Common Coat is Tender's first lined and faced revere jacket. Rather than aping a fully tailored garment, the manufacture remains true to the idea of understandable construction.
To shape and stiffen the shoulders, the fronts and backs of the Dart Shoulder Jacket are cut in a single, straight, piece, which is darted at an angle where a shoulder seam normally would be.
The Double Breasted Common Coat is a wider-wrap version of the Type 916 Common Coat.
The panels for Lobster Tail Jackets are all individually lined and bias-bound, before assembling with flat lapped seams.
The Double Breasted Split Back Coat is cut with a doubled front wrap and no side seams, swooping up to a split at the centre back. Sleeves are put in upside down and seamed into the shoulder.
The Gambeson Lined Shirt Coat takes its name from the mediaeval long quilted garment worn underneath, or instead of, metal armour. Each panel is fully lined with cotton casement and quilted in a single V stitch line from one corner to the other.
The Waist-Lined Redingote is an adaptation of the Type 900 denim jacket. The shoulders are cut on the bias, without a seam, and large symmetrical chest pockets are fitted into the front yoke seam. This coat is cut longer, to mid thigh.
The Weaver’s Stock Curve Front Jacket is fully bag lined but is cut without facings, so that the woollen lining fabric is visible at the coat edges and around the neck.
The Weaver’s Stock Curve Front Jacket is fully bag lined but is cut without facings, so that the striped lining fabric is visible at the coat edges and around the neck.
