something new! but as far as can be seen in this photo, 132. I'm hoping to get these into production later in the Spring- more then

I’m quietly (loudly I guess since I’m writing this post) hoping for a 132 with a higher rise, like the 125(?)

Meadow https://www.meadowweb.com/collections/tender-co is having a pretty decent sale on Tender items FYI. I already snagged a 452 shirt, a mug and a pair of 125 jeans.

I was going to wait for whatever the new 132 thing is, or possibly get one of the overdyed 125 but this pair was too cheap not to get (and I really love that fit).

^nice choices @sensy! I'm sure you'll enjoy the 125s, it's a lovely cut. 

I recently received a beautiful pair of 130s back from an old friend @gregd. Here they are lined up with Unborn- these weren't hemmed, this is the leg shrinkage (~39" unborn to ~36" inseam after washing):

125 is already my favorite pair, and this reminds me to post my pair, 10 months old or so.

@rodeo bill Really like the look of the new Wide Face shirt

From the photos, it looks like a bit of a wider / shorter fit, similar to the Bridge Pocket shirt. Is there any truth to that, or just a bit of wishful thinking on my end?

Meanwhile, Tender-heavy outfit today

Thanks so much for this Julian! The Wide Face shirt is a really nice one, I think it'll work well for you. It's not quite as wide as the Bridge Pocket Shirt, but a similar feel. The sleeves are a little longer. Here are a couple of photos (size 3, and I'm wearing a T-shirt underneath)- flat to show the proportions, and with the cuffs rolled back as I wear it myself (I have short arms and like cuffs on my wrist):

One of the folks who runs the farmers’ market took a photo of me last week to help advertise citrus season

…my main takeaway was how well the roping & puckering are coming along on the anniversary edition Type 900

^ Wholesome!

that jacket could not be a better fit

no bragging right fades here, but been wearing this pair of 132 from raw for a good while between various other rotations...

starting to get results...

lovely slow burner; enjoying the multi blues of the standard denim dye very much...

743 pullover... agreeing with Ooms, it's a lovely garment indeed

A little fading... and with some sweet skew which I particularly like - see the shoulder, side and arms seams

[JDelage 5,944]

Yeah, I have one of those sweaters too. Nice heft to it too.

A lovely photo from a great friend of the brand, with his type 960 double breasted jacket and the best worn pair of 130Ps I’ve seen. Thanks Marc!

Didn't know about Tender co until recently, when I saw a photo here of some hippie looking dashing in what I learned was a "900 jacket", apparently while selling vegetables at a farmer's market. Went in search of said jacket, but no luck. I did however find an indigo cotton sweater, something I've been after for a long time. Turns out it's the same as pictured a few posts above.

 

Just want to say it's one of the most beautiful and unusual garments I've handled. Also probably the nicest commercial transaction I've ever had.

@bloom - it's a great jacket, my favorite denim design that's not obviously repro oriented. So much so that I have it in 2 fabrics.

FWIW, there are a few left, though neither are the woad version, and sizes are limited. https://www.tenderstores.com/product/type-900-jacket/?variation=28411 

Tender is a personal favorite for me - I've got more pieces from William's brand than from any other maker (mostly jackets, a few sweaters and one pair of jeans - for now). The denim used (as discussed recently in another thread) is its own sort of special.

@bloom there's a woad 10th anniversary type 900 in medium, with the special Donegal blanket liner, here
