Tender - Type 463 Argyle Hand Pocket Shirt (Achille's Heel Indigo Dyed)
An argyle is a weaving or knitting pattern composed of diamond shapes, often interlocking with thinner diagonal checks. The Argyle Hand Pocket Shirt is based on the Millwheel Shirt, with diagonally angled square hand-warmer pockets forming an argyle pattern at the bottoms of the front panels. Argyles are a loose adaptation of the Clan Campbell tartan from Argyle in the West of Scotland, and were popularized in the early Twentieth Century by the Duke of Windsor.
Wave Calico is a variation on the calico used for shirts, and for jeans back pocket linings, since Tender’s first production. For this version, a variation on a broken twill is incorporated into the base plain weave, with warp ends and weft picks raised and lowered to form a slipped / \ pattern on the face of the cloth. This ‘fancy’ twill is cut and sewn loomstate so that it shrinks with washing dyeing, forming a wavy rippled surface in the finished garment.

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.
