MILLWHEEL SHIRT IN NATURAL TAN WATTLE DYED WOOL SERGE

The Millwheel Shirt is formed around the idea of rotational symmetry.The front chest pocket is tucked into the outward-facing button placket. The under placket is sewn inwards, and the back pleat is taken out in one direction only (rather than a more usual symmetrical box pleat). The direction of the back pleat and the front pocket line up when rotated around the centre axis of the shirt, like the blades of a millwheel.The sleeves are pleated into false cuffs, and the hem is finished in a gentle curve. Wool Serge is woven in England in a simple left hand twill, from soft woollen yarn. Once a French term for twilled fabric woven in English-controlled Calais using British wool, it was similar to the 15th Century British Saye fabric, a lighter weight twilled cloth woven in the South West of England. Serge de Nîmes is the much-storied twilled cloth from Nîmes said to be the etymological origin of denim. Tender’s designer William Kroll puts a lot of care in
