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.
Based on the 132 jeans pattern, 122 jeans do not have back pockets or a back yoke- the seat is shaped by two 'English' pleats, facing towards the middle.
The Hooded Draft Line Coat is generously cut with upside down raglan sleeves and a three panel hood.. At the back the draft lines marking the high shoulder points are extended up and down to create a single panel which runs up the back neck and over the top of the head, ending at the front of the hood.
The Draft Line Coat is generously cut with upside down raglan sleeves and a high neck. At the back the draft lines marking the high shoulder points are extended up and down to create a single panel which runs up the back from the hem to the top of the collar, removing the back neck seam.
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.
