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.
Black Hole Cotton Table Cloth Stripe Type 434 Buggy Back Shirt
The Buggy Back Shirt takes its unusual shape and name from a traditional British tailoring technique for lining casual sports jackets. Rather than fully lining the jacket, the fronts are lined but the back is ‘buggy lined’ with triangles of lining fabric set into the shoulder seams, overlapping at the centre. The Buggy Back Shirt has no side seams– the fronts wrap around and overlap into the opposite side’s back armhole. Large front hand pockets allow the shirt to be pulled down and worn as a jacket. The high back allows easy access to back jeans pockets, and can be layered with a T shirt or a button–down tail shirt
Table cloth stripe is made in England as a loosely woven double faced fabric, similar to a madras, reproduced from the design of a mid–20th Century tablecloth. Each stripe switches colours from one side to the other, and creates an air channel, giving the fabric body and thickness while retaining lightness and air flow.
