Here’s a very rare item. Circa 2014 Type 970 denim jacket from Tender Co. Made in England. Copper rivets. I believe this is hand-dyed with indigo. It looks basically unworn and unwashed. The first picture is truest to the color in real life. Not sure why the camera is washing out the plot on some of the others…


This is from this thread (which has pictures), posted by the designer:

The starting point was a 1960s harrington style jacket, which has an overlapping vent in the back. I also wanted to make this jacket without side seams, and I worked out that if the shoulder becomes the overlap, you can actually cut the whole of each side of the jacket in one big piece.


So the dark side of the denim below is actually the outside of the front body, which has run over the shoulder and down the back


From the outside, the overlap sits at the shoulder line, so it's quite unobtrusive


A nice thing about having no side seam is that there's no break in the hem. I've made the most of this by putting no facing at the fronts, and running a single curved hem all the way from the collar at one side, down the front, round the bottom corner, along the bottom, up the other corner and all the way up the opposite front to the other side of the collar:


The only point not covered by this hem is the top edge of the collar notch, which gets its own short section of bias binding:


The jacket's finished off with linen-covered metal buttons, usually seen on underwear, which take the dyes really well:


Size is 4, equating to a 34” waist or L. See pics for measurements.
