Tender Co. Denim

[knucks]

Looking to dip my toe in some tender. Where can I find sizing on denim? Looking for something looser..132 seems the ticket

also will be in Düsseldorf and Copenhagen and Stockholm in September.. looks like there’s some stockings too?

hey neighbor, you can always email the man himself for specific sizing info but generally https://www.tenderstores.com/sizing/ is a good start.

"32". Looking for a 13" thigh or bigger, in a 32-33" waist

[julian-wolf]

Size 3 in the 132 should work well for you

Achille’s Heel 132 post-wash, ‘51 601xx and Foreman Pants for color reference

Those are looking really good!

Those are amazing Julian!

Fantastic Julian! This is the first worn-in pair of these I've seen. We did an overdyed test on my own pair of worn-in 125s, which are really cool (back a few pages) but totally different as the wear is pre-dye. It's really interesting to see how subtle the undyed parts are on the outside, but still very bright on the inside. A nice little personal detail. Thanks for posting!

[julian-wolf]

Thanks all. Feels like they’ve just started showing some color over the last month or two, and I’m happy with how they’re going. I’ve slowed down enough on the Word of Mouth contest to be pretty consistently wearing these around twice a week, at this point, so I’m hopeful that there’ll be more real progress to show in the next half year

My newest Tender piece, the Millwheel shirt in burnt sienna dyed fine cotton calico. Also featuring old and trusty type 130 jeans.

My Hadal brown dyed Reefer denim jacket coming up on about 2 years I think. I have too many denim jackets in rotation really but it has had some good usage and is starting to show some really nice colour variation. Quite hard to photograph though!

^ one the Tender designs I’m bummed I missed out on most. Looks great.

A little detail I thought people here might enjoy. The new Type 948 Ambler Coat is fastened with wooden toggles that were based on something which I saw at the Valley Forge national park visitor centre (near our home, the park is huge and lovely):

A housewife was a sewing kit, fitted inside a horn canister with a little stopper at the flat end. Horn duffel toggles are also cut for cow horn tips, and that got me thinking about toggles, which led eventually to the design of the Ambler Coat. I wanted a non-standard toggle, so I went to my knife maker in Sheffield, who cut, turned, and polished these toggles for me from offcut hardwoods:

I only had one of these coats at the Stores, and it sold immediately (thank you!), but there are a few at Goodies in Oxford, and Neighbour and Lost & Found will have them in Canada. There are also a few pieces with stockists in Japan. Here's the coat itself, for that haven't seen it:

My partner had a big pot of cochineal going, and I tossed two old pairs of socks in at the end to revitalize them a bit. No extra mordanting or anything. Both regular wool. I don’t remember what color either pair was to start, nor how long I’ve been wearing them, but I think this’ll give them a good second life

Photos are after a good wash

Threw my 132D in for a wash after smoking them out making pizza a few days ago. About 14 months of consistent wear now.

Those are well on their way to becoming a legendary pair!

Looks like there's a new cut in the jeans family:

TENDER TYPE 124 WADER JEANS 16OZ SELVAGE DENIM RINSED | TODAY CLOTHING

They have an elongated yoke similar to the 156 split back jeans. I dig em.

[rodeo bill]

thanks for this @merzbot and yeah these have come out nicely. Here are some fit pics:

First three are pulled up, fourth is dropped to the waist. Here are some rinsed measurements for size 4:

waist: 36"

front rise: 15"

back rise: 19.5"

thigh (3" down from crotch): 14"

hem: 11"

inseam: 36"

Tailored Saddened Wattle 136s

~1y of ownership, not sure how many wears, lots of washes

Fairly slow faders but I’m not in a rush. Might get them hemmed, a bit tired of the length.

Lovely, @winteracr- these will fade slow but the blue coming through the black is really special. I think the wider 136 works very well hemmed.

 

 Here are my 156s, split waistband high backed high waist, based on 136. These are double indigo broken twill, coming up on a year and a half of wear, on and off. The fabric’s really coming into its own, as close to old school early sufu sick fadez as I’ve had in a long time 😉

[oomslokop]

tender suit selfie, indigo cotton skewed jumper (one of my very fave articles of clothing), irl showing more fadez, the photos makes it look still so blue; tender "u buckle belt", alternate black and tan long stripes along the length of the belt; tender 129 molleton denim (starting to get tight at the waist, i'ill probably need a size 5 now)

loc: toilet in an indonesian overnight train. super clean, spacious, luxurious even as far as train loo goes. can't keep the grin off my visage

Definitely jumper weather nowadays, rain & flood sucks….

[julian-wolf]

@rodeo bill Really enjoyed the last newsletter, and it got me thinking about starting in on another pair of your jeans after the Word of Mouth contest finishes up

Would you mind posting measurements of the 125, 132, and 136 in size 4 unborn denim, and / or in commenting on any qualitative differences in how the three fit through the seat / hips / waist? Maybe also size 3 for the 136? (I currently have the 132 in size 4, so I'd be using those a main point of reference)

Gosh, I keep thinking about this too. I have so many in storage I want to break in but the allure is ever present and my 129’s remain I think my favorite busted up pair…fwiw I’m I think usually a size 2, and I tried on the 136 in a size 1 once, and that’s the size I would have taken had I pulled the trigger (sorta wish I did). 

[MJF9]

Fair play... all the worn Tender jeans on these pages look fking great!! 👏

[Broark]

I keep meaning to get around to trying the jeans at some point, I just get distracted with repros. 
Eyeing the type 125 in logwood or walnut. Leaning logwood with the grey undertones, but the walnut looks neat too.

[MJF9]

I just got a chestnut dyed shirt... the colour is lush, grey undertones too... will post when I get chance... I had logwood 132 years ago and love that colour too, darker grey undertones
