TENDER TYPE 157 TROUSERMAKERS JEANS 16OZ SELVAGE DENIM BROWN HAT

TENDER TYPE 157 TROUSERMAKERS JEANS 16OZ SELVAGE DENIM BROWN HAT

$535.00

Tender Oxford jeans seen through the eyes of a Savile Row trousermaker. The back pockets are raised, and flaps are set into the waistband above them. Side pockets are flipped from horizontal to vertical, and extra volume is added to the thighs via single 'English' pleats, facing towards the centre.

Sewn in the UK with 100% cotton thread and fastened with a lost wax cast solid brass waistband button, and riveted fly buttons.

Tender’s 16oz blue line selvage denim is custom woven in Japan.

Ring-spun unbleached American cotton is rope dyed with 25 dips of pure indigo for an exceptionally dark blue-black fabric which fades beautifully with wear.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 garment to twist and shape to the body.

Rinsed and dyed denim has been fully shrunk.

Brown Hat

The hadal dye idea came from thinking about color choice back to front: rather than choosing a color from a Pantone book and asking a dye house to match it, a color is descibed (for example "the deepest possible blue") and the see what comes out. Brown Hat is an extension of this. The goal was an archetypal brown hat, something like that worn by Michiel Sweerts' Man Holding a Jug, painted in 1660, rather than imposing design decisions onto it. When the finished hat came back, it went to the garment dyer, who matched it to a cotton reactive dye, which gives jeans the same deep brown.
