In 2011, an early Tender retailer ordered eight pairs of jeans. At this time there were only two fits, 132 and 130, and they wanted 130s with a slightly straighter lower leg, but not quite the full straight wide leg of 132s. The new shape was accordingly numbered 131.

As it was a small order, cut by hand, the adaptation from 130s was drawn directly onto the cloth as it was laid out on the table- there was never a paper pattern for this style. The eight pairs are long gone, but over the years various references to them have emerged online.

A couple of months ago I was contacted by an early customer and old friend of the brand very kindly asking if I’d like to have his worn-in logwood dyed 131 jeans back. From these, and a similarly worn pair of 130s in the same size, we were able to reverse engineer the pattern for these Lost Jeans.

The worn pair of logwood jeans is pictured after the new logwood jeans- these are not for sale.
