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 Green 16oz Selvage Denim Type 901 Pleat Pocket Jean Jacket
Cut from 16oz 25–dips indigo ringspun cotton selvage denim, woven in Japan / Lost wax cast brass buttons / 100% cotton thread
The Pleat Pocket Jeans Jacket is based on early workwear denim jackets with a chest yoke seam and pleated fronts. Here, though, the single pleat is reversed and made much larger to form a full sized hand–warmer pocket each side. Rather than a separate yoke panel, the back panels are brought up and over to the front, forming a smooth biased shoulder which wears particularly comfortably.
The back panels are cut up and down the grain of the fabric, with a selvage centre back seam, but the pleated front panels are too wide to fit across the narrow fabric, so are cut sideways. This causes the back to shrink up vertically more than the fronts when the jacket is rinsed, forming a subtly raised back.
