All of the woollen fabrics woven and knitted into Tender’s garments are produced in the UK, from New Zealand and British wool. Wool fibres are particularly receptive to dyeing, so traditional dyes appear darker on woollen garments than on cotton and linen. Traditionally, wool was the commonest British yarn- when a dye colour is described historically it can be assumed to be used on wool. For example madder, which might have dyed red onto a wool coat, will provide a soft pink on less amenable cotton or linen cloth.
The Tender Stock is based on an equestrian stock- the horse's hoof binding which evolved to become the modern tie.
The Rib Scarf is knitted as an extended sleeve of the type 760 Rib Pullover, with a cuff at each end. The chunky yarn is plied (twisted) up of natural undyed Voe Shetland wool and subtly contrasting dyed soft lambswool. The random twist of the yarn creates a flecked texture to the fabric.
The Ladder Backed muffler is knitted in two distinct layers- an outer layer of natural undyed Voe Shetland wool, and an inner layer of contrasting dyed soft lambswool.
The earliest computer systems used punchcards adapted from knitting machines. Pop Punch is a collaborative project with a coder and a sound designer: between the three of us we’ve come up with a programme which converts the tracks of a vinyl LP into knitting patterns.

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.
Unlike most Tender jackets, which have a straight cut front, the Two:One jacket has shaped lapels with a large belly, to use the tailor's term.
The Edited Jeans Jacket is a simplified version of the Type 901 Pleat Pocket Jeans Jacket, cut straight with a centre back seam.
The first Tender jacket, cut with yokes grown on to the back panel, so that the shoulder is seamless and cut on the bias, for a particularly comfortable fit over time.
The Common Coat is Tender's first lined and faced revere jacket. Rather than aping a fully tailored garment, the manufacture remains true to the idea of understandable construction.
To shape and stiffen the shoulders, the fronts and backs of the Dart Shoulder Jacket are cut in a single, straight, piece, which is darted at an angle where a shoulder seam normally would be.
The Double Breasted Common Coat is a wider-wrap version of the Type 916 Common Coat.
