Tender Co TYPE 142 PLEAT BACK SHORTS HADAL BLUE Sale

Tender has its roots in antique workwear and machinery, especially from the Great British Steam Age. An important face of Tender’s English–made clothing is the nurture which is put into the clothes: in their research, design, manufacture and wear. Tender’s goal is for the owner to live with their clothes, wearing them hard, but respecting their provenance and the stories they have to tell.

Hadal Blue Cotton Twill Type 453 Double Cuff Mandolin Pocket Shirt

Adapted from type 122 Pleat Back Jeans, these Pleat Back Shorts are constructed without back pockets or a back yoke– the seat is shaped by two ‘English’ pleats, facing towards the middle, and adding roominess for free movement without the structure of seams. The diagonal side pockets will curve and stretch with wear, and the six belt loops are fully lined.

The pleats give 142 shorts a cleaner look and feel than Tender jeans, while also harking back subtly to vintage formal trousers, often made without back pockets to give a cleaner line under a coat tail. The legs are hemmed at the knee

Casement cloth is a simple plain weave fabric traditionally used in curtains, behind a more decorative fabric.This midweight cloth is specially woven with a heavier cotton warp and weft, and is woven fairly loose and sewn loomstate. It is shrunk during dyeing, tightening up the fabric and pulling it into a dense, sturdy substance.

Herdwick Stripe Cotton Casement has individual ends (warp yarns) of natural undyed grey Herdwick wool from sheep raised in the UK. These are fed into the loom manually during weaving, forming the warp stripes. As the wool yarn shows dyes less clearly than the cotton ground, dyed garments retain the speckled character of the Herdwick wool

The Hadal Zone, named for the Greek underworld, Hades, is the deepest oceanic zone, below the Sunlight Zone, the Twilight Zone, the Midnight Zone and the Abyss. Hadal blue and hadal green are the deepest colours achievable through reactive dyeing, darker than any natural dye. As with natural dyeing, though, the whole garment is dyed after sewing, showing subtle variations in tone and depth between different fabrics and garment constructions.
