DENHAM DESIGN : DENIM INTEGRIT Y
BRAND release
“DENHAM THE JEANMAKER” One step inside the DENHAM design studio and even a casual observer can sense what’s going on. Fewer than half-a-dozen creatives with a combined experience of over half of century in the field of workwear and utility garment design apparently share a deep seated view that now it is their turn. Born in the 60’s and 70’s and weaned on the design cultures of the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s they share a universal and passionate culture that transcends their individual regional perspectives. Despite having cut their creative teeth in the rich and varying landscapes of the UK, Europe and the US they rarely require extensive dialog to determine direction. Replacing the standard chatter of trend analysis and market tactics is the throb of music, the reassuring whir of an industrial sewing machine, the gnashing of scissor blades and more mysterious sounds of experimentation, all which combine to create an atmosphere that is equal parts workshop, laboratory, research center and dynamic modern design atelier. The team is still young and naïve enough to try new approaches. And they’re still young enough to work with the sometimes breakneck momentum associated with youthful enthusiasm. But they’re also experienced enough to work with a confidence and discipline that ensures a constant focus on quality, workmanship and execution. For them the truth is in the details.
“DENHAM DESIGN : DENIM INTEGRITY” Denham design is permanently tied to their belief in denim’s basic integrity. They look at the core of what drives jeans culture to inspire the approach they take in everything they do. The DENHAM label is focused on balancing an intense commitment to progressive design against an equally obsessive respect for jeans craft tradition. In step with founder Jason Denham’s long held personal creative convictions, they endeavor to manifest a practical “jeanmaker” attitude of honest craftsmanship multiplied by fearless experimentation and invention not only in every jean they create, but in every garment in the line and every other aspect of the label.
“WORSHIP TRADITION. TRADITION TEACHES QUALITY” The process of making begins with looking. A humbling sense that they can never look “too closely” at any of the hundreds and hundreds of vintage specimens within their Denham Garment Library inspires them to explore every detail on the best and most iconic denim, casual and utility garment examples. They’re striving to recreate this clothing’s timeless wearability, add to its rich style-culture and contribute to its tradition of hard-won incremental innovation... a process that has sometimes taken centuries to evolve. They’re working to create something uncompromisingly new, but they’re also determined to root it in the strongest possible foundation. The habit of looking closely reminds them that it takes generations to establish a great tradition and achieving quality is never simple. Quality is the source of the fibers before they are spun into yarn. It is about weaving specifications, construction techniques, dyeing and laundering processes. It is about hardware, closures, labelling and finishes. It is about the front side, the backside, the inside, the right side and the other side. It ‘s not simple, It’s complicated. But ultimately for DENHAM it’s become addictive.
“DESTROY CONVENTION. CONVENTION PREVENTS PROGRESS” Contrary to popular belief, traditions are not honored by blind mindless repetition. Traditions are advanced through challenging convention in a constant search for improvement. DENHAM’s clear ambition is to add to tradition through trial-anderror, through innovation and invention. A closer look around DENHAM’s studio confirms that these folks are willing to try things others might even regard as a little bit crazy. The sweetest fruit is sometimes hanging furthest out on a limb and the team is obviously resolved not to let fear get in the way. Holding their label to a higher standard of invention also accounts for the brand’s fearlessness when it comes to sharing their personal archive. Where their competitors might horde away their research material, DENHAM is happy to regularly publish key artifacts from their Denham Garment Library online for the world to see in hopes of spreading the same passion for quality, utility and detail in anyone willing to join them in “looking close”. This unconventional generosity is also a testament to their commitment to move things forward and never be content merely reproduce the work of others, even if those others’ names have sometimes been safely lost to history.
“DENHAM HOUSE” Products with this kind of commitment to craftsmanship, invention and progression could hardly be born in a generic working environment. The Denham studio is the engine-room of DENHAM HOUSE on Amsterdam’s historic Prinsengracht in the city’s 9-streets neighborhood. Designed and executed by the same tight team responsible for the collection, DENHAM HOUSE is home not only to the design, the Denham Garment Library and the rest of the “home office”, it also boasts the first dedicated Denham shop attached directly to the rest of the facility. The authentic and naturally rich space has been carefully refitted to give shape to DENHAM’s simple vision of tradition and modernity, extending the label’s message directly to real customers in real-time every day.
“DENHAMTHEJEANMAKER.COM” Already recognized for its own approach to worshiping tradition and destroyingconvention and slated for publication in the international Creative Review, Denham’s website is organized to simply allow visitors to “look close”. -To inspire anyone interested to take the time to examine the label’s products, their details and their genuine inspirations and backstories. The format is as basic and intuitive as a friend’s bookshelf. Scan the titles, open up a story that catches your eye and take a minute to get to know more. Some stories maybe brief, others may be jam-packed with information. It depends on the subject. -And visitors can always throw a story back on the shelf in order to pull another one down. The user is always in control. Information is presented with nearly absolute transparency. There are no marketing agencies or copywriters filtering the message. The team all contributes directly to the effort and the result is informative, textured and sometimes surprising. The site provides a framework within which each collection is presented and easy access is given to online shopping, but there is an equal investment made to sharing the less commercially motivated passions of the brand in categories like the online Denham Garment Library and Cutter’s Council forum.

Opening to the public on June 4th, DENHAM’s stand-alone Tokyo store represents the second dedicated retail presentation following the successful opening of the label’s Amsterdam location. The new store’s Daikanyama address is perfectly suited for DENHAM’s distinct design ethic and product-culture. The district is home to Japanese denim temples Okura and Hollywood Ranch Market as well as newer concepts in modern utility such as Nanamica and respected international brands like Paul Smith.

The store concept is a direct extension of the Amsterdam location’s design, expressing a signature approach to merging traditionalism and modernity. Deep wood flooring contrasts with gallery-style white walls and clean minimalist interior elements are accented with carefully selected industrial brocante. Custom forged scissor-brackets line the walls, serving to display the seasonal collection. A generous application of architectural text and projected video complete the picture when entering the store. The lower level houses a fully functional workbench where jeans can be shortened, with chain-stitch finishing, in-house on an authentic Union Special sewing machine. Together with founder Jason Denham legendary chronicler of vintage garments and creator of the My Freedamn book series, Rin Tanaka, will cut the ribbon at 6:30pm at the opening ceremony on June 4th. Mr. Tanaka will be on-hand at throughout the evening to discuss his work and sign his books. 25-8 Sarugaku cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0033, Japan Tel/Fax: 03-3463-2258 OPEN:12:00-20:00

WEBSITE / WEBSTORE release
“TAKE THE TIME TO TAKE THE TIME ” This week marks a big milestone for DENHAM. The team has completed the construction and launch of a 2-sided online experience: The first being a webstore, loaded with garments and information, allowing visitors to engage directly in the DENHAM product. The second being the main website, loaded with stories and inspiration, allowing visitors to engage directly in the DENHAM concept.
“THE DENHAM STORE EXPERIENCE” It’s been 18 months or so since their creatives began leaking idiosyncratic personal stories about their product, their obsessions, and the quirky intersection of style-cultures that make up their world view. And it’s only been about 12 months since the blue ribbon was ceremonially cut on the doors of our first Denham store in Amsterdam. The ensuing launch party was quickly and quietly replaced with the daily delivery of an individual shopping service providing the customer with a bespoke DENHAM shopping experience. Everyday dedicated store personnel is committed to giving real attention to every person who walks in the store. Friendly and respectful assistance accompanied by useful information about each garment in the collection. A visit to the shop offers even more direct exposure to DENHAM’s design philosophy via the store’s proximity to the label’s Design Studio. With only a glass door between the customer and the studio, the basic honesty and integrity of the design process is near at hand. DENHAM wants their customer to enjoy the visit. Walk the store. Perhaps experience something new. Take the time to take the time. These are the simple principals on which the store is built.
“THE DENHAM WEBSTORE EXPERIENCE” This experience however, is limited to those lucky enough to be walking around the 9 Streets between 10am and 6pm. DENHAM’s ambition is to reach out further, extending the experience to anyone willing to take the time, whenever the time suits them. Though, even the most passionate store team couldn’t man the fort 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Eyes would become weary, backs would crack, brains would drain, and customers may eventually be welcomed with an exhausted grunt. So the virtual store staff needs to be made of strong stuff. And that’s the DENHAM difference. Online, the staff has been replaced with a mouse-click friendly virtual assistance, offering considered and useful information about each garment in the collection. A visit to the webstore offers even more direct exposure to Denham’s design philosophy via the store’s proximity to the label’s website. With only a mouseclick between the visitor and the design process. The personnel may have been taken out of the store but visitors still get the same personal attention. DENHAM wants visitors to enjoy the visit. Surf the store. Perhaps experience something new. Take the time to take the time. These are the simple principals on which the webstore is built. That’s why we had another launch party. Only this time it was virtual. And has again, been quickly and quietly replaced with the daily delivery of an individual shopping service providing customers with a bespoke Denham shopping experience.
“THE DENHAM WEBSITE EXPERIENCE” Not content to sit on past denim clad laurels, the launch of the main website in December, alongside the webstore, has already been slated for publication in the upcoming International Creative Review. Already recognized for its own approach to worshiping tradition and destroying convention, the main website has been organized to simply allow visitors to “look close”. To inspire anyone interested to take the time to take the time. Examine the label’s products, their details and their genuine inspirations and back stories. The format is as basic and intuitive as a friend’s bookshelf: Scan the titles, open up a story that catches your eye and take a minute to get to know more. Some stories maybe brief, others may be jam-packed with information. It depends on the subject. Visitors can always throw a story back on the shelf in order to pull another one down. Information is presented with nearly absolute transparency. There are no marketing agencies or copywriters filtering the message. The team all contributes directly to the effort and the result is informative, textured and sometimes surprising. The site provides a framework within which each collection is presented and easy access is now given to online shopping, but there remains an equal investment in sharing the less commercially motivated passions of the brand in categories like the online Denham Garment Library and Cutter’s Council forum. website: www.denhamthejeanmaker.com webstore: ww w.store.denhamthejeanmaker.com
Seasonal Information - www.denhamthejeanmaker.com Launched December 2009 CHALLENGE Build a website that endorses the Denham doctrine: Worship tradition, destroy convention. Denham attempts to break fresh ground amongst jean labels by using it’s approach to expose ideas from the inside out. Flaunting it’s garment library, exhibiting it’s sphere of influence, debunking tailoring myths, and furthermore explaining why, if not how, garments are designed. BRIEF - Present product; narrate stories; advertise press & events that communicate clearly, and effectively the inspiration and design approach - Create a platform to help inform, educate and hopefully inspire - Make it fun to navigate and explore - Exercise a similar rhythm evident in the garment design, between problem finding and problem solving - Engineer a site that bridges the gap between the existing Denham blog and it’s website - Fit to a budget that is affordable for a new label - Capture the industrious atmosphere occurring daily in the studio and store - Collate the numerous stories, and snippets of information from the designers and assemble them in a simplified, elegant manner SOLUTION - The Denham blog was achieving regular reader success. Noted for it’s informative and illuminating content - The solution was to combine the website and the blog into one entity, whilst continuing the flow of subscribers without disrupting their user experience - Creating a 1-click navigation system; categorizing information into cards; allowing stories to mutate and grow over time as they seed into another - To architect a ‘framework for creativity’; an open-platform site that frees-up the designers to execute their ideas and upload ‘blogs’ on a regular ‘come-as-you-are’ basis - Relieving the burden of designing a site anchored in a seasonal ‘6 month’ cycle and spreading the cost over an anticipated 10 season (5 year) re-design plan - Blogs are capable of having no beginning or end. Denham website is a decorated blog that has no beginning or end. - The back-end database management system allows autonomous control by the designers - This humane ‘hands-on’ approach is sympathetic to designer / author err’s and fumbles, but it’s competent and resourceful design reflects the modest, and sincere strategy of the label

S S 1 1 R e l e a s e - HAVANA MAKESHIFT : Seasonal Information
“HAVANA MAKESHIFT - ATTITUDE ” Cuba’s particular mix of cowboy culture, frozen-in-time midcentury car club style and once elegant, now threadbare but still dignified European finesse, all framed within a gritty makeshift military utility, has proven a near bottomless source of inspiration for Spring Summer 2011. The unpretentious mixing of influences formed a platform for the overall collection as well individual pieces.
“FADED & UNPRETENTIOUS COLOURS” Colors are faded and unpretentious creating a spectrum running from sticky cigartobacco brown through a range of more leafy military greens and on through lightening blues into a little pit of bleached pink. But as will perhaps always be the case with Denham, the neutrals are the steadfast heroes. Garment dyed blacks, grey chambrays, faded khaki and pale ecru all used in varying textures to create the season’s makeshift approach to summer richness.
“FABRIC” Color is never more important than quality and the attitude and atmosphere of Summer 2011 is given tangible form through the fabrics themselves. The arsenal includes; a three-season wax stuffed canvas from legendary producer British Millerain, the return of waterproof/breathable memory/metal weave produced under license from Schoeller of Switzerland, the return of a menswear black herringbone laminated to a waterproof/ breathable milkfoam backing, a classic military twill crankedup with a coating of rugged polyurethane, Cuba-style military airtex, a new variation on Denham’s super-compact cotton now with a dry-rumple finish, chambray shirting with finishes from crispy to extra crispy, pure linen, pima jersey, vented pique and the latest exercise in Denham’s RECUT story this time reanimating deadstock French mattress linen together with laundry-bag damask.
“TEXTURE : MALE” The fabric approach aims to live up the a commitment to worshiping workwear tradition while destroying worn-out conventions. The resulting focus on a new type of Utility Tailoring naturally leads to new fabric combinations which retain the authentic rugged character of heritage fabric with fearlessly modern qualities. From the deep deep history of British Milerain’s wax-stuffed cotton canvas to the clean modernity of waterproof herringbone and memory poplin the jacket category establishes the underlying standard. The spirit of utility tailoring fabrication carries over to all the woven, knit and jersey styles with an overall offering that includes; Wax-Stuffed Cotton Canvas,Ceramic Backed Coated Twill, WP Herringbone and Memory Poplin, Supercomact Rumple Shirting, Seersucker, Italian Laundered Denim, Crispy Chambray, Doby-Damask, Structured Ticking, Rhymthic Ribbing, Double Cotton Jersey, Knitted Cotton Cashmere, Pima Single Jersey, Recut Linen, Recut Tent Canvas and Gloss-on-Matte Panel Print. Gloss-on-Matte.
“TEXTURE : FEMALE” An ongoing focus on deep quality and a more timeless approach to style shifts focus from excessive employment of “fashion” color trends to the more substantial character of the fabric textures themselves. For spring the objective is to create a rich texture variety while keeping everything light and breezy. Creamy soft-touch jerseys and fine knits combine effortlessly with compact nearly transparent woven blends featuring just the right amount of body and crispness and ripe worn-in country gingham complete with home-repair details introduce further lightweight layering options. The range includes; Open Knit, Pointelle Soft Knit, Faded Sunrise Sweat, Faded Mix Check, Special Rib, Home Repair Gingham, Recut Linen, Memory Poplin, Sheer Jersey, Fine Silk Ticking and Swedish Linen.
“RE-CUT STORY: 30 YEARS VINTAGE CHINO” It could be argued that modern jeans culture began when workwear tailors in the American West first cut a pair of prospector pants from rugged tent fabric. The freshest installment in Denham’s ongoing commitment to recut fabrications sees history repeat itself with an utterly contemporary outcome. Starting with a beautifully made pair rainproof 1950’s workwear chinos from the long defunct “Mohawk”brand in the Denham Garment Library. The new men’s Mohawk style pays homage to the original through the use of Talon hardware, cant-eye suspender buttons and a generally excruciating attention to assembly detail. But these new chinos take those ideas fully into the present day adding a tailored waistband, full front leg facings, bound fly constructions, darted articulation and a host of other Denham signatures. The reuct fabrication employs washed Dutch Army Tent disassembled and re-crafted into the main fabric, damask laundry bags reworked into soft waistband facings, Dutch and German Army camouflage tarps transformed into pocket-bags.
“COLLUSION WITH A CHILD OF THE JAGO” DENHAM’s second collusion again focuses on product that stretches the label’s central design concept slightly beyond its natural boundaries. This time DENHAM’s collaborators are the crew from “A Child of the Jago” in London. While Jago’s purist style ethic and uncompromising dandy-punk posture stand outside DENHAM’s traditional realm, their passion for product and shared English cultural pedigree made them the perfect catalyst for the new collusion. DENHAM’s new Mohawk pant is being made using Jago’s signature deadstock British yardgoods, and Jago’s signature Apache pant has been re-imagined in DENHAM’s premium Japanese denim and selvedge chino qualities. These two crossbred models are joined by a commemorative “Graft” tee shirt to complete the grafted-together capsule and will be available in limited quantities.
“HOUSE GUEST ARTIST” Each season DENHAM will present 1 guest artist making graphic prints on tees and scarves. This first will be Alljan Moehamad; Artist and photographer. Alljan is a local Dutch talent who is renowned for his hand drawn skull drawings in ink pen.

“ P O W E R E D B Y R I N TA N A K A” DENHAM SS11 MEN’S PHOTOGRAPHY & DGL ARCHIVE IMAGES Since the publication of his first seminal books on the history of the motorcycle jacket through each subsequent issue of his own My Freedamn book series, Rin Tanaka’s personal dedication to photo-archiving vintage garments has stood head and shoulders above anybody else. The passionate approach to preserving garment history manifested by these books was one of the key inspirations for the Denham team to even conceive of creating a Denham Garment Library of their own. For DENHAM, Rin Tanaka has always represented the pinnacle of responsible garment archiving. So it could be considered a little crazy that it took the team 4 full seasons to work up the courage to ask Tanaka-San himself to lend his technical prowess and boundless energy to the task of documenting some of the label’s own garment archives as well as completely new Denham garment prototypes designed as part of the brand’s Spring 2011 collection. To the team’s tremendous excitement Rin said “yes”. The resulting images are the pride of the team at Denham and the technical dexterity and creative sensitivity reflected in each of Rin’s photographs for Denham are already inspiring the team to seek to continue to increase the quality of their own efforts in documentation. Denham is very proud to be working directly with Rin Tanaka, and for both Rin and Denham; The Truth is in the Details.

“BORO” REPAIR (in Japanese) is the word used to describe the textile folk garments made, repaired and worn by itenerant Japense workers. This culture is similar to the American sharecropper’s story which played a key role in the history of western denim.
SELVAGE Selvage by definition means “ SELF EDGE “ This refers to the binding at the edge of a woven cloth, normally colored in RED or WHITE to define and seal the edge of the fabric. Selvage Denim Cloth is the original weaving technique based on the original narrow width shuttle looms. These looms are typically 29” or 31” width (75cm – 80cm).

SS11 RELEASE - Seasonal Information - “1ST EDITION” May 2010
“J A P A N T E X T I L E S ” MADE IN JAPAN WITH 100% ARTISTRY, LOVE PASSION & NO SHOES. A journey in to Japan. We all know that ‘Japanese denim’ is special and that Japanese denim is the signature of all premium denim brands. The thing is, “ its what you do with it that makes the difference”. That’s why this season I travelled deeper in to the heart of the Japanese denim culture and discovered new washing houses that really love what they do. The following is a short story that attempts to explain this: “In December 2009. I fly from Tokyo to Hiroshima. The landscape is snow crisp white and beautiful. The drive from the airport to the sewing factory is 1hr 30 mins of idyllic picturesque landscape. Breathtaking stuff, everything in Japan has an edge of beauty. Arriving in the sewing factory I am greeted with “ Jason San – Take off your shoes” Factories in my experience are not normally the casual, kick off your shoes kinda places. This factory was different. A clean factory like you never saw before. So clean you could eat your lunch from the floor! The factory personifies ‘ DENHAM ’ philiosophy, “ WORSHIP TRADITION & DESTROY CONVENTION “ – A catalogue of work denim models that explain the fits from 1940’s to the present day. This combined with original UNION SPECIAL machines and high tech modern day equipment. Next stop…….. the washing Laundry. I arrive to the greeting “Jason San – Take off your shoes” normally washing houses are notorious for having floors covered in chemical agents, dyestuffs and bleaches. Not this one. Instead I was greeted by a family of artists hand painting the life lines and aging process on to the jeans. Together we formulated recipes based on DENHAM garment Library pieces. ‘ DUMP STORE DENIM ‘, ‘ RUBBER RESIN DENIM‘, ‘ THREAD BARE DENIM ‘ and ‘ EMBROIDERY REPAIR DENIM ‘ to name but a few. These denim pieces are real replica finishes based on narrow loom red selvedge denim. These are the ‘ mouth watering ‘, ‘ must have ‘ jeans of the season.”
SS11 RELEASE - Seasonal Information - “VIRGIN” May 2010
“VIRGIN : UNSPOILED DENIM FOR FRESHNESS” The DENHAM dry VIRGIN - PURE, UNTOUCHED, UNSPOILED denim story will continue for S11. The weights of the denim’s are 11 – 12 – 13 ounces and the colours are less intense than winter 10. Now the shades have shifted to lighter greys, clay indigo, pure slub textured indigo and the monotones grey, black and white with TEFLON finishes. The VIRGIN story also includes Selvedge Chino twill and DRIP DRY aging process – No WATER ADDED. VIRGIN STORY S11 – TALKING POINT “ VIRGIN PAPER SELVEDGE” This is the must have VIRGIN Jean of the season. 100% MADE IN JAPAN - This denim cloth is made with recycled 50% Japanese PAPER PULP and 50% Indigo cotton. WHY ? – Because the paper yarns create a very soft touch and the wearing in effect is much faster than 100% cotton.

In order to treat this Jean with the love it deserves we are delivering every piece with its own bar of CATHARTIC SOAP. Made with Pure natural enzymes.

“WORSHIP TRADITION” DIGGING IN OUR ARCHIVES This season we dug deeper in to our archives and created a handful of beautiful replica finishes. “ GLORY DENHAM “ is a tribute to OLD GLORY from 1992. One of our (older) guys bought his OLD GLORY Jean 18 years ago and lived in it for years. In fact he even decorated in it, repaired his car in it and lay a floor in it. All these signs are visible by the patched up knee and paint splatters. “STITCHED UP” is another wash developed from our archives. This is a replica of a vintage big E which has been torn and repaired again and again and again. Its thread bare worn out and perfect replica of the original.

FINE SLUB VINTAGE
A child of the jago is a child of the street. The destitute and illegitimate progeny of a hopelessly rundown environment. In the case of Joseph Corre and Simon Barnzley Armitage, the street is Great Eastern and the physical environment is a former Victorian slum in East London where the alleywise hero of Arthur Morrison’s book, A Child of the Jago takes place. But the spiritual environment that has catalyzed Corre and Armitage’s enterprise is an even more threatening and sprawling slum, that of the creatively impoverished and commercially corrupt homogeny represented by the menswear status quo. Corre and Armitage are acutely aware that the world their new child is entering will offer it no sympathy and give it no quarter. A Child of the Jago isn’t being raised to expect a warm welcome. It’s being brought up to cause trouble while it contrives to raises the bar. The zeal for agitation is a natural extension of the pair’s stylistic inspirations. The attitude reflects the sartorial excesses of the original dandy and the raw razor’s edge unpredictability of rock & roll stitched together with the excruciatingly rigorous standards of the Saville Row tailoring tradition. This all makes for a volatile cocktail of no-rules merchandising. Milkman jackets reminiscent of workwear’s golden age are presented alongside Scotch cashmere and fine shirting crafted in Jermyn street factories. At the same time the tyranny of forced fashion “cycles” and industrially contrived “trends” receive a brutal Liverpool kiss-off, neutralized and dismissed as waste-creating crutches habitually brandished by brain-dead corporations well and truly only in it for the money. But neither Corre nor Armitage are interested in disposable rebellion or a shallow veneer of style. They don’t believe standards of quality have been lost so much as they have been stolen, kidnapped, hijacked and brutalized by the mainstream fashion system. –And they clearly don’t care how much shoe leather is worn away in their efforts to free quality from its current confinement. They have wired together a clandestine alternative network that unifies select Saville Row tailors with irreverent young talents from Japan’s best fashion academies. They have identified hole-in-the-wall suppliers of ultra-premium deadstock menswear fabrics in implicated them deep within their plot. Manoeuvres that combine with their abandonment of artificial fashion cycles and grant them access to the best pure wools, rich silks, sharp gabardines, rugged twills and a host of one-of-a-kind yard goods of unrivaled quality that can otherwise stack up in the dust left by built-in-obsolescence and an inefficient and cynical marketing system. Almost by accident their provocative approach ensures their own product, the dangerously named “Terrorist” collection, bares certain highly desirable market characteristics. A Child of the Jago’s concept and Corre and Armitage’s Terrorist menswear label carry the distinct odor of something incendiary and there’s a chance something really might burn. But the most flammable materials in its path seem to be the creative mediocrity and depressing absence of quality that have grown like dry weeds across the current fashion landscape. If this detritus burns off it will only serve to enrich the earth and ensure the new soil is fertile enough to nourish the stylistic bravery and deep quality that their new vision proposes.

While Jago’s purist style ethic and uncompromising dandy-punk posture stand outside DENHAM’s traditional realm, their passion for product and shared English cultural pedigree made them the perfect catalyst for the new collusion. DENHAM’s new Mohawk pant is being made using Jago’s signature deadstock British yardgoods, and Jago’s signature Apache pant has been reimagined in DENHAM’s premium Japanese denim and selvedge chino qualities. These two crossbred models are joined by a commemorative “Graft” tee shirt to complete the grafted-together capsule and will be available in limited quantities. W9Y3

“ R E - C U T S T O R Y: 3 0 Y E A R S V I N TA G E C H I N O ” It could be argued that modern jeans culture began when workwear tailors in the American West first cut a pair of prospector pants from rugged tent fabric. The freshest installment in Denham’s ongoing commitment to recut fabrications sees history repeat itself with an utterly contemporary outcome. Starting with a beautifully made pair rainproof 1950’s workwear chinos from the long defunct “Mohawk”brand in the Denham Garment Library. The new men’s Mohawk style pays homage to the original through the use of Talon hardware, cant-eye suspender buttons and a generally excruciating attention to assembly detail. But these new chinos take those ideas fully into the present day adding a tailored waistband, full front leg facings, bound fly constructions, darted articulation and a host of other Denham signatures. The reuct fabrication employs washed Dutch Army Tent disassembled and re-crafted into the main fabric, damask laundry bags reworked into soft waistband facings, Dutch and German Army camouflage tarps transformed into pocket-bags.

“HAVANA : MAKESHIFT ATTITUDE ” Cuba’s particular mix of cowboy culture, frozen-in-time mid-century car club style and once elegant, now threadbare but still dignified European finesse, all framed within a gritty makeshift military utility, has proven a near bottomless source of inspiration for Spring Summer 2011. The unpretentious mixing of influences formed a platform for the overall collection as well individual pieces.
“FADED & UNPRETENTIOUS COLOURS” Colors are faded and unpretentious creating a spectrum running from sticky cigartobacco brown through a range of more leafy military greens and on through lightening blues into a little pit of bleached pink. But as will perhaps always be the case with Denham, the neutrals are the steadfast heroes. Garment dyed blacks, grey chambrays, faded khaki and pale ecru all used in varying textures to create the season’s makeshift approach to summer richness.
“FABRIC” Color is never more important than quality and the attitude and atmosphere of Summer 2011 is given tangible form through the fabrics themselves. The arsenal includes; a three-season wax stuffed canvas from legendary producer British Millerain, the return of waterproof/breathable memory/metal weave produced under license from Schoeller of Switzerland, the return of a menswear black herringbone laminated to a waterproof/breathable milkfoam backing, a classic military twill cranked-up with a coating of rugged polyurethane, Cuba-style military airtex, a new variation on Denham’s super-compact cotton now with a dry-rumple finish, chambray shirting with finishes from crispy to extra crispy, pure linen, pima jersey, vented pique and the latest exercise in Denham’s RECUT story this time reanimating deadstock French mattress linen together with laundry-bag damask.
“TEXTURE MALE” The fabric approach aims to live up the a commitment to worshiping workwear tradition while destroying worn-out conventions. The resulting focus on a new type of Utility Tailoring naturally leads to new fabric combinations which retain the authentic rugged character of heritage fabric with fearlessly modern qualities. From the deep deep history of British Milerain’s wax-stuffed cotton canvas to the clean modernity of waterproof herringbone and memory poplin the jacket category establishes the underlying standard. The spirit of utility tailoring fabrication carries over to all the woven, knit and jersey styles with an overall offering that includes; Wax-Stuffed Cotton Canvas,Ceramic Backed Coated Twill, WP Herringbone and Memory Poplin, Supercomact Rumple Shirting, Seersucker, Italian Laundered Denim, Crispy Chambray, Doby-Damask, Structured Ticking, Rhymthic Ribbing, Double Cotton Jersey, Knitted Cotton Cashmere, Pima Single Jersey, Recut Linen, Recut Tent Canvas and Gloss-on-Matte Panel Print. Gloss-on-Matte.
“HIGHLIGHTS MALE” SOCIAL: A MOTORCYCLE DIARY A men’s field jacket mixing a rustic agricultural attitude with detailing from WW2 South Pacific military designs and the silhouette of a classic motorcycled touring jacket. OPERATIVO: FRANCO CUBAN RELATIONS A featherweight bomber jacket modeled partly on the iconic blue-leather French Airforce design popular in the 1980’s. The ovular zippered sleeve pocket, double vertical interior slash pockets and a show-and-conceal breast pocket insignia system all take cues from the original. But rendered in Schoeller’s metal memory waterproof/breathable shell fabric the impression is equal parts 1950’s car-club jacket. COURIER: NAVY FISHERMAN A hooded shell jacket in polyurethane painted military twill that borrows a construction featuring outstithced seams along the shoulder mantel seam-sealed with taping on the outside with tradition interior seam taping in the body. RECUT: OUR MAN IN HAVANA A WW2 “Demob” jacket and engineer’s waistcoat acquired for the Denham Garment Library at Spitalfieds formed the classic inspiration for the new Medic Nationale and the Waist. Crafted from pure black linen in the main collection, this sportcoat and waistcoat are also built from deadstock French mattress linen as recut “DGL” editions. –Continuing a tradition that in just 3 seasons has included the utilization of vintage Japanese boro fabrics, gore-tex bivouacs, and army poncho mackintosh. PLAIN: TAKING THE PRESS OUT OF OPRESSION. For some a clean, fresh, “ripe” and rumpled mens shirt can evoke the same wordless loyalty as the ubiquitous teeshirt. The plain’s design could hardly be anymore plain but every inch has been orchestrated to harmonize with an outlook that appears to have been laundered to within an inch of its life. Self bias edgings, empty collar-stay channels and a 7-point breast pocket come to life in the new “Dry Rumple” finish.

SUPIMA is the world’s finest cotton. Each year over 115 million bales of cotton are produced around the world. Less than 1% are judged to be good enough to make the grade. It’s significantly longer fibre length, greater strength and natural smoothness make it the obvious choice for DENHAM tees. SUPIMA’s inherent character helps ensure DENHAM finished goods start out feeling great and then go on to feel even better with age. When the simplest style is jeans with a tee, it’s best if the tee behaves like a jean.

SS11 RELEASE - Seasonal Information - Women May 2010
“WELCOME TO DENHAM WOMEN” The fundamental Denham design process represents the ambition to find the most remarkable detailing and humbling craftsmanship within heritage denim, workwear and utility clothing and push them forward within utterly contemporary garment designs. While there’s some truth in the notion that these design traditions are historically maledominated, there has also been a century’s worth of designemancipation utterly transforming the rugged roots of workwear into a new school of style with an uncompromising focus on women. It may have started with pioneers like Iris Apfel risking ridicule, while hunting down extra-small (even children-sized) jeans in the 1940’s hell-bent on reworking them into exciting expressions of a confident but still mysterious new feminine ideal. It evolved, refined and deepened through the decades since then, resulting in iconic new style attitudes without a hint of gruff masculinity. In the hands of Marylyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Loretta Lynn, Tanya Tucker, Michelle Phillips, Grace Slick, Marianne Faithfull, Patti Smith, Chrissie Hynde, Sienna Miller and Kate Moss... The list of powerful personalities is unending and the role they’ve played in fully coopting the tradition is undeniable. For a long time now, clothing with modest workwear origins have been entirely re-cultivated by women for women. The design team at Denham is as inspired by this aspect of their culture as they are by any other characteristic of their craft. They recognize the sensual nuances and feminine subtleties which have been expressed over the years and they don’t presume that you can turn a jean into a women’s jean my pushing it through the simplistic pigeon-holes of merely adding a slathering of “shine”, or sexing them up by stretching them tight. Nor do they assume you can take a 2-dimensional approach to converting any other item in a women’s wardrobe. The goal they have set themselves is to build a dedicated collection for women that resist either of the obvious compromises. - They’re not willing to compromise any aspect of a fully feminine point-of-view; shape first and foremost. - They’re not willing to compromise any of the fundamental values that drive the original Denham design ethic, namely an exacting approach to detail, craftsmanship and the substance that reflects authentic jeans-culture and workwear heritage. They want Denham women’s customers to have their cake, and to eat it too. They see her as natural, relaxed and loaded with effortless sex appeal. A healthy glow, a no fuss attitude and an unpretentious brand of cool. The Denham women’s collection allows her a nearly endless mix of corsetry tailored and fitted outer pieces like vests and indoor jackets over more romantically cut bohemian tops in pure feminine jerseys and light breezy wovens, all worked against flattering jeans in progressive washes as well as clean finishes. And throughout the entire range the underlying design-signature is 100% Denham. The Truth is in the Details.

“HAVANA : MAKESHIFT ATTITUDE ” Cuba’s particular mix of cowboy culture, frozen-in-time mid-century car club style and once elegant, now threadbare but still dignified European finesse, all framed within a gritty makeshift military utility, has proven a near bottomless source of inspiration for Spring Summer 2011. The unpretentious mixing of influences formed a platform for the overall collection as well individual pieces.
“FADED & UNPRETENTIOUS COLOURS” Colors are faded and unpretentious creating a spectrum running from sticky cigartobacco brown through a range of more leafy military greens and on through lightening blues into a little pit of bleached pink. But as will perhaps always be the case with Denham, the neutrals are the steadfast heroes. Garment dyed blacks, grey chambrays, faded khaki and pale ecru all used in varying textures to create the season’s makeshift approach to summer richness.
“FABRIC” Color is never more important than quality and the attitude and atmosphere of Summer 2011 is given tangible form through the fabrics themselves. The arsenal includes; a three-season wax stuffed canvas from legendary producer British Millerain, the return of waterproof/breathable memory/metal weave produced under license from Schoeller of Switzerland, the return of a menswear black herringbone laminated to a waterproof/breathable milkfoam backing, a classic military twill cranked-up with a coating of rugged polyurethane, Cuba-style military airtex, a new variation on Denham’s super-compact cotton now with a dry-rumple finish, chambray shirting with finishes from crispy to extra crispy, pure linen, pima jersey, vented pique and the latest exercise in Denham’s RECUT story this time reanimating deadstock French mattress linen together with laundry-bag damask.
“TEXTURE FEMALE” An ongoing focus on deep quality and a more timeless approach to style shifts focus from excessive employment of “fashion” color trends to the more substantial character of the fabric textures themselves. For spring the objective is to create a rich texture variety while keeping everything light and breezy. Creamy soft-touch jerseys and fine knits combine effortlessly with compact nearly transparent woven blends featuring just the right amount of body and crispness and ripe worn-in country gingham complete with home-repair details introduce further lightweight layering options. The range includes; Open Knit, Pointelle Soft Knit, Faded Sunrise Sweat, Faded Mix Check, Special Rib, Home Repair Gingham, Recut Linen, Memory Poplin, Sheer Jersey, Fine Silk Ticking and Swedish Linen.
“HIGHLIGHTS FEMALE” SPY+: HALF GIRL MUSKETEER / HALF MOTORCYCLE CHICK A tough and sexy update on the SPY SS10 jacket influenced in equal parts by a 1950’s fencing doublet and a 1960’s racer-type motorcycle jacket from the Denham Garment Library. Oil cotton in 2 different weights reducing heat and weight close to the body but maintaing a cool toughness through the shoulders and outer sections. CHE: MILITARY TAILORED FIELD JACKET A women’s field jacket mixing a rustic country attitude with detailing from a WW2 British Army tunic dramatically adjusted to produce a completely feminine silhouette. RUMBA: UNDERSHIRT BECOMES LITTLE OUTERSHIRT A Dutch men’s undershirt inspired top with a cute “little” fit. BUENA:VERSATILE MINI JACKET WITH ATTITUDE - Inspired partly by a women’s cropped peasant frock-coat from Russia from the Denham Garment Library. -A museum-grade piece clearly intended for hard everyday wear but designed with stunning stylistic touches including a fantastic box pleated back peplum. The bold double-breasted construction of a 1970’s band jacket provided inspiration for the inventive front treatment. But these concepts from these two unusual inspirations underwent a complete transformation to create a completely modern new wardrobe staple for women.

A trouser-stye fitted waist (no elastic or drawstring) button-fly and tailored seat all pointed bygone standards ripe for updating on behalf of contemporary women.

BEFORE WE CREATE. WE COLLECT. But we collect not just to acquire; we collect to examine, analyze, and to learn. Decades in the making, the DENHAM GARMENT LIBRARY supplies the raw material for our research, design and development. We can’t benefit from tailoring traditions unless we understand them better, and new ideas crumble if they’re not built on a strong foundation. Each item in the library tells a story and each one represents a starting-point for our collections. We take inspiration from anyone and any place producing relevant ideas but we’re never content simply to reproduce someone else’s approach even if that person’s name has been safely lost to history. The research feeds our passion and our passion is to progress our tradition ever forward.

SUPIMA is the world’s finest cotton. Each year over 115 million bales of cotton are produced around the world. Less than 1% are judged to be good enough to make the grade. It’s significantly longer fibre length, greater strength and natural smoothness make it the obvious choice for DENHAM tees. SUPIMA’s inherent character helps ensure DENHAM finished goods start out feeling great and then go on to feel even better with age. When the simplest style is jeans with a tee, it’s best if the tee behaves like a jean.
