TENDER TYPE 136 OXFORD JEANS 16OZ SELVAGE DENIM RINSED

this jeans cut is inspired by the bags originating at Oxford University in the 1920s.

Mid-high waist, full seat and thigh, wide legs. All Tender jeans are cut with a 36" inseam to be rolled, cuffed, or tailored by their owner. Sewn with all-cotton thread and finished with a lost wax cast solid brass button. Made in UK red label.

Tender’s 16oz blue-line selvage denim is custom-woven in Japan, then shipped to the UK loomstate, to be finished or cut and sewn directly.

Ring-spun unbleached American cotton is rope dyed with 25 dips of pure indigo, with no back tinting or sulphur, giving an exceptionally dark blue-black fabric which fades beautifully with wear, and forms an excellent base for other natural and historical overdyes.

The yarn is heavily starched during the weaving process, so it arrives quite stiff and will soften considerably as it ages. Because it has not been pre-skewed, the yarn unwinds with washing, causing the clothing to twist and shape to the body.
