Tender - Type 464 Webbing Fly Shirt (Achille's Heel Indigo Dyed)
The three body panels for the Webbing Fly Shirt are assembled, with the sleeves, and then bias bound all round in one pass, starting and ending underneath the collar, which is added at the end. Instead of a standard buttoned placket, a wide strip of cotton herringbone webbing is sewn to the outside of the right front, and the inside of the left, with buttonholes sewn in place. These are also caught into the edge binding, forming a concealed button fly. Because bias binding can not be used to edge sharp corners, the front opening and sides are cut in smooth curves.
Tote cloth is a simple, loosely woven midweight cotton plain cloth, usually intended to be cut into promotional tote bags. The surface of the textile crinkles and softens as it is washed and worn. This version is woven in England from a Japanese rope-dyed indigo warp and weft. It is the purest expression of the indigo yarn used for Tender’s denim, showing up its deep tones from purple to turquoise.

Drawing inspiration from the great British steam age, Central Saint Martins alumni, William Kroll, presents his vision of antique workwear.Traditionally, the “Tender" was the vehicle which carried the necessary coal and water to power a locomotive steam train. Crafted from riveted cast iron, the Tender was built exceptionally solid in order to transport fuel and enable a train to make its journey across Britain.
All of Tender's clothing and objects are produced in England. The skills necessary to make these pieces are specialized and difficult to find. The garments are produced in small runs, often only a handful of pieces in any one style. A central idea of Tender's philosophy is that the potential of the work and experience which goes into each product only culminates and manifests after the garment has been well worn and becomes a part of the owner's life.
