The long sleeved Bench shirt is an edited interpretation of a draughtsman’s shirt, with a single breast pocket and pleated cuffs.The stitching at the shoulders appears to make a traditional seamed split yoke, but in fact it shows how the front and back panels overlap, forming a double thickness at the shoulders without any additional seams.
The fabric is a 100% cotton weave named covert. A covert coat is a traditional British tailored overcoat, used while hunting, and intended to act as camouflage in thick undergrowth. They are usually cut from ‘thornproof’ fabric, supposedly woven so that a briar thorn could be wiggled all the way through the structure of the cloth without breaking the yarn. Tender’s indigo covert cloth is woven in the same pattern as a tradi- tional thornproof, trapping the contrasting rope dyed indigo cotton weft behind the ecru cotton warp.
