Up to 2025, all of Tender’s clothes and accessories were made in the UK. This was partly a matter of convenience as factories, ateliers, and maker’s homes were all no more than a drive away from the studio, but also because there is a particular character and personality to different countries’ production: making and designing in parallel, in the same location, seem to lead to products with more integrity and coherence.
One of the reasons that Tender’s clothes have their own special feel is the selection of machines used. Even lightweight shirts are produced on heavy machines designed for workwear and industrial purposes. By retooling and adjusting to allow for the fabric weight, garments come out with uniquely twisted or puckered seams. Longer stitch patterns give a feeling of practicality, but also avoid damaging the fabrics with unnecessary punctures and allow slight flexibility in the seams, helping the clothes to mould and form even better to the wearer’s body over time.
Clothes made in the UK have a woven label with a black elephant and a red size number.
A double thickness bomber blanket with military outwear stitching.
Bandanas are cut from previous seasons' clothing fabrics, and weaving experiments which never made it into production.
Bandana Scarves are cut from previous seasons' clothing fabrics, and weaving experiments which never made it into production.
These shorts are cut on the Type 132 Wide Jeans pattern, but, following the season's experiments with cross cutting, the pattern is laid sideways across the denim fabric.
Based on the 132 jeans pattern, 122 jeans do not have back pockets or a back yoke- the seat is shaped by two 'English' pleats, facing towards the middle.
Straight leg jeans with an extra high rise and a generous seat and thigh.
Wader jeans have a very high waist, a generous seat, and an easy, wide leg.

Slim jeans with a high rise, slim seat and gently tapered leg.
High waist jeans with a generous seat and thigh, and a tapered leg.
High waist jeans with a generous seat and thigh, a tapered leg, and front thigh passenger pockets.
