Tender Type 956 Janus Jacket

Designed and made in England, the Tender Type 956 Janus Jacket is made from Indigo Cotton Molleton which has a soft felted surface that is similar to dense moleskine with a speckled blue dye finish. The front is fastened by custom made circular stamped solid copper buttons which lead to a stand up raised collar neckline and on the inside of the chest rectangular pockets have been added on either side with top open entrance points. Similarly, larger pockets have been added on the inside of the waist and copper rivets sit on every corner of each pocket which are visible from the outside. The lower half of the body has open side seams which allow for access to the pockets and add a unique touch. Strips of white fabric have been added along the inner edge of the hem and sleeve cuffs to help keep the fabric straight.

This style uses 25-dip deep indigo dyed yarn which has been ring-spun and rope-dyed in Japan. From here the fabric is then put through carding rollers to felt the surface which creates the unique surface texture and pattern. Due to the specialist dye technique, a certain amount of indigo will be lost from the surface as you wear it, which creates a unique look to each individual wearer. You may find some colour from this will transfer onto lighter fabrics during the first few wears so take care.
