n 1986, Thomas Doherty, a tailor, designer, jeans enthusiast and avid denim collector from Sheffield was inspired to
produce his own brand of premium denim after finding a rare pair of vintage jeans. He then set out to replicate the American classic 1944-style jean with an almost obsessive attention to detail and strongly influenced by 1950’s Americana. Thomas used his experience in the vintage clothing import business and poured it into his love of denim and began collecting the elements required to produce the vintage inspired jeans he wanted to create. This involved gathering machinery that had not been produced for over 40 years. The initial production allowed just 15 pairs to be made a day but each one had the hand painted Fairfight marque, now the signature of the brand, put on by Thomas himself. Nowadays we produce our products in greater quantity, but keeping the quality the same as it’s always been.
T
he name Fairfight is derived from a respectful, structured way of confronting each other on issues that are causing
open or hidden conflict. It is a method for handling and resolving the differences of opinion that inevitably occur between spouses or partners. Fairfight is a brand that can be enjoyed by fashion-conscious males and females who take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of the garments they wear.

ur marque is made from two components, two ‘F’s and one ‘T’. The two F’s are the abbreviation of our name,
Fairfight. The negative space created by the Fs, and the line at the top gives the ‘T’ for tailoring, our speciality. We value

Permitted orientation variants
hese images show the accepted variations of the marque and accompanying typography. Under no circumstances must these two formats be deviated from. The first diagram is our primary format, and the orientation that is most readily used within the brand, the second allows the marque to occupy a less linear space and should be used when space doesn’t permit the primary format. The marque may be used on its own, but the typography must never be used without the marque.

airfight is a uni-sex brand, and where possible we keep most of our products and marque applications
as such, but to aid our customers in identifying the gender of the clothing they are looking at, we use two colour variations of our prime marque. The golden colour variant is for males, and the silver colour is for females. In printed material and stationary we used the gold colouring and as such we identify gold as our primary colour variant, silver as the secondary. Our alternative colouring and texture is for advertising, television and other media where the extra decoration is required.

antone colour swatches are used to maintain the universal standard of colour consistency used within
Fairfight Tailoring’s corporate identity. The three colours used by the Fairfight brand are as follows; Pantone 8960 C : Fairfight Tailoring’s primary colour. Used on our prime marque, and on all stationary and printed material. This swatch also represents our male clothing line. Pantone 8400 C : Fairfight Tailoring’s secondary colour. This
Colour Palette
swatch is used with our female clothing line, and all associated material. Pantone DS Process Black : Fairfight Tailoring’s backing colour. Used in situations where sufficient contrast isn’t available. Used on our stationery, clothing labels and on most of our printed material. Below is the alternative method of colouring the fairfight marque which is typically used in advertising; the golden texture. It is available by request and should not be replicated using a different texture. It should also not be used on any printed material such as stationary, and reserved for media where the extra decoration is required.

that bare the marque must first be considered by our marketing team. Here are two examples of correct marque and image use;

Here is a piece of our advertising material for our store
launch in Paris. The marque is coloured using the alternative style, but to create sufficient contrast it has been placed over a black rectangle at 75% transparency. 2.
This image shows the marque used within a brochure
format. The marque is housed within a rectangular box set to the maximum safe distance. This method ensures that the marque has high legibility and impact.
