Another acquisition yesterday: 

 

[knucks]

How much are the denim expected to shrink lengthwise over the years? I worry I hemmed my type130 too short.. oh well they can always become shorts!

[oomslokop]

barely once theyre washed or if u buy the one thats one wash or dyed. also theyre heavy so they always sag. dont worry abt it. or give us pics so the community can judge

And my hadal brown Tender version in the morning light. 

It has a nice "war era detail" with the folded selvage on the interior.

Thanks for putting these up- I hadn't seen them! I also hadn't thought of this style as a reefer, but you're totally right that it is. It's called the Bourd Shirt (for Anthony), and was based on a chef's jacket. The entire front panel can button on (as in the grey photos) or off (in the yellow), and is reversible, with check fabric and a zipped pocket on the reverse side. I just got my Working order in and was photographing it yesterday. Edits today, lots to do

Thanks also @merzbotfor posing your 903, looking lovely 🙂

I’m pretty close to pulling the trigger on a pair of rinsed 136’s in the regular denim but torn between the two waist sizes (3 or 4)
 

I figure the 16 oz denim doesn’t stretch as much as like a pair of fullcounts. I also prefer the higher rise on the size 4 so should I just go with the larger?

[julian-wolf]

^ In case it’s helpful, measurements for those two sizes of 136 were just posted in the last page or so

(The 136 does seem to run a bit large; I wear a 4 in the 132 and ended up going for a 3 in these)

Do you have any pics of you in the 136? Where does the waist sit at after wear did it stretch out close to raw measurements? Thanks!

This is barely helpful I realize, but I wear a (somewhat snug feeling) size 2 in the 129’s. I tried on rinsed 136’s in a size 1 and the wait fit fairly comfortably, but the rise felt a little too low for such a wide leg. Still, all in all, the jeans felt like they fit. This was a few years back.

I suspect a size 2 would have been better for the rise I wanted (wasn’t available to try), but a loose waist and then even bigger legs. Decided it wasn’t quite the cut for me for those reasons, but I may eventually revisit as I’ve relaxed on having a loose waist these days. In general I find Tender’s denim not to stretch as much as others - it’s some burly, tightly woven stuff.

@Ciabatta I actually haven’t shrunk them yet, haven’t even tried them on. Saving this pair for (immediately) after the Word of Mouth contest. By eye, though, they look like they’re going to be a good fit, and I feel pretty confident that I picked the right size

Type 439 Stole Pocket Butterfly Shirt / Chestnut Dyed Thunderbolt Cotton Cambric... lovely fabric and shirt... the colour is pretty charismatic in the hand and depth varies, hard to pick up on the photo

lovely photo! Here are my Type 102 Cross Cut Short Jeans, cut as long as they can be, at the complete width of the roll, with selvage hem. These are right hand twill, gratifyingly twisting anticlockwise

Finally I have finished my repairs.

10th Anniversary Edition Type 900 still being stubborn as ever

[julian-wolf]

Achille’s Heel Type 132 similarly so, although I’m very pleased to see that they’re finally showing some wear worth documenting (shown alongside the lightweight cross-weave Type 136 for color reference; more on those shortly)

 

[julian-wolf]

Type 902 has been a big favorite for the past year or two, although (unsurprisingly) still without much to show for it. The leg twist from this fabric is crazy on all three pieces, but I feel like this one shows it the most clearly, which I really enjoy. Interestingly, I feel like it ends up wearing more like a heavy overshirt than a jacket

[julian-wolf]

I’ve really enjoyed the constraint that the Word of Mouth contest has put on my getting dressed routine, & I’ve probably mentioned that I hope to keep something similar going after the contest ends: I’d like to style most of my outfits for the next year or two primarily around Tender Co.

As a part of this (maybe contrary to the spirit of limitation, but worth it for the joy) I’ve picked up a pair of the lightweight cross-weave Type 136

Pre-wash, ultra purple silvery inky like the scum on the top of an indigo vat; these crocked more onto my hands just when trying on than anything has in a while:

(feat. Tezomeya, Birks)

Post-wash, looking like they slimmed up perfect & didn’t loose too much rise. Holding off on trying them on ‘til after the contest…

[Ciabatta]

My 136 just arrived today. I went with the rinsed version in a size 4 and I'm very glad I went with that size. Holy hell these jeans bleed indigo though! My hands turned blue just taking them out of the bag. Would giving them another quick wash in cold help with that? They also need a hem ASAP.

anyone cop the type 102 shorts recently? itching to pull the trigger on a size 3 but wanna see exactly how long they are on someone before doing so

[oomslokop]

many years old woad tail shirt

[MJF9]

@oomslokop Many happy Sufu returns to you and your shirt... both looking angelic... loving the shorts too (we need deets on them) 

[srudy]

Couldn't quite hold off 'til next month

Post-wash fit is perfect! Just need to chop a few inches off
