TENDER Co.130 UNBORN (TAPERD JEANS)
Jeans with a modern interpretation of workwear from the era of steam locomotives in 19th and early 20th century Britain.
Introduction.
I love straight jeans and Levi’s 501s are my basic jeans, but I wanted to try a slightly different pair of jeans, so I got a pair of TENDER Co.130 UNBORN TAPERD JEANS. It is a maniacal and particular jeans made in the motif of the work clothes of denim at the time when it began to be made in the industrial revolution period in Britain though it is denim with a strong habit that colour migration is quite intense and colour migration is done to white clothes if it does not wash several times.
These jeans are made on the assumption that they are to be worn rolled up, and these roll-ups are double, which is a strong habit of these jeans, but they are interesting jeans full of particularity that you will become attached to when you actually wear them and will not want to let go of them.
19th century workwear as you’ve seen it in black and white photos
Jeans were originally made as workwear. The image of jeans in Japan is that of American jeans, with Levi’s and Lee jeans being so famous that there is no one who doesn’t know about them.
The image of Levi’s 501 is immense, and when we think of the shape of jeans, we think of the 501 shape, but the image of Levi’s straight jeans has been designed since the 501XX and the 201, which was made as work clothes for early ranches and other places. The image of the more relaxed jeans of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century is not so much.
The TENDER Co.130 UNBORN TAPERD JEANS introduced this time are made with the motif of the period when jeans were normally used as workwear in the 19th and early 20th century. The makers are British, so the jeans are made with the same attention to detail as the workwear worn by people running steam-powered machines and steam locomotives after the Industrial Revolution.
TENDER Co.130 UNBORN TAPERD JEANS Features,
Heavyweight 16-ounce fabric, dark indigo dyeing that is almost black, but with a strong colour shift because no anti-fade measures are taken, button fly, but with fewer buttons than usual, stitches and sewing with no white dyed thread, double or triple stitching instead of single stitching for reinforcement purposes, and a hip pocket that is lower than usual.
The silhouette is also made with a deep inseam, a slightly thicker tapered line, a longer length, and is made to be worn with a double roll-up.
This construction gives the jeans a unique texture and silhouette reminiscent of jeans from the 19th and early 20th century when they were used as workwear.
The joys of wearing British workwear from the Industrial Revolution
One of the reasons I enjoy wearing TENDER Co. 130 UNBORN TAPERD JEANS is that I have a longing for old-fashioned attire that I have seen in movies. When I actually wear them, they are full of functional beauty as work clothes made in that era, and I get attached to the forms and details born from that necessity, and I feel an attraction like a sense of superior tools.
When I think about wearing them as fashion, they have an image of having strong habits with their characteristic forms, such as a silhouette with a slightly wide tapered leg, dark indigo close to black and a wide double hem, but you can enjoy them in the same way as wearing other jeans with just a T-shirt and trainers.
They also go well with military items, which I like, and you can enjoy wearing them with the relaxed shape of military items. By wearing the TENDER Co. 130 UNBORN TAPERD JEANS with an orthodox combination of a T-shirt, jeans and trainers, you can enjoy a wide range of combinations that are not limited to the clothes you wear with them, They are a fun pair of jeans to wear because they have a different appeal to other jeans.
Reaffirm the appeal of tucking a T-shirt into jeans you haven’t done for years.
Jeans have a habitual form, but the combination of tucking in a T-shirt and making use of this habit by showing the form around the waist is unexpectedly attractive.
When I think about it, I used to wear jeans in such a way that the crotch part of the jeans was hidden because of its charm, but by wearing TENDER Co.130 UNBORN TAPERD JEANS, I am thinking that I should try tucking in a T-shirt when I wear other jeans. Being able to reconfirm such new attractions is also an event that I have noticed by wearing TENDER Co.130 UNBORN TAPERD JEANS.
As the colour migration is very strong, you need to be careful not to match them with light-coloured T-shirts until they have been washed several times and the colour migration has stopped, or to avoid colour migration on car seats, sofas, etc. Despite these precautions, they are still very attractive jeans.
TENDER is a British brand by William Kroll.

Conclusion.
TENDER Co.130 UNBORN TAPERD JEANS, which I purchased because I wanted jeans like the old work clothes you see in the movies, become a particular pair of jeans with a lot of charm when you actually wear them. The length specification and the heavy ounce, the dark indigo dyeing that causes colour migration, etc. seem to have strong habits, but they are tolerant of the clothes you wear them with, and they are excellent jeans that add a twist to your T-shirt, trainers and jeans style, even though they are normally worn with jeans. The double roll-up is a great way to add a twist to your jeans.
As a side note, the double roll-up is a story that cowboys used to put cigarettes and matches in the inner folds and cigarette butts in the outer folds when they smoked while riding their horses at the time. Such historical episodes are also anecdotes that make these jeans enjoyable.
