Home (all) Welcome to DENHAM the Jeanmaker´s website. Each card reveals a story which represents one facet of Denham´s vision. Categorised by the collection, garment library, studio & stores, to press reports & the birth of the Cutter´s Council. Designed in time with no beginning nor end, through resourceful innovation and fearless experimentation. It´s a decorated blog. A tailor-made homepage. We hope to fascinate but are equally prepared to frustrate.
A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO CUTTING
Quality and careful construction are central to DENHAM. Drawing inspiration for the collection from a coveted personal heirloom: an antique pattern book called ‘THE CUTTERS’, printed in 1910 and sold at the time for 15 shillings. DENHAM’s first models are inspired by and named for traditional techniques discussed in the book, ‘CUTTER’, ‘DART’, ‘TAPER’ & ‘TAILOR’.
The Tailormade techniques inspired remarkable detailing such as:
(1) Boxed Button Holes for a clean finish and superlative wear.
(2) Fully Bound Fly Panels as carefully considered on the inside as on the outside.
(3) Tailored Chambray Waist with Triple-Chambray and Grosgrain, an artisan technique straight from Savile Row.
(4) High-Grade Fishbone Pocketing for long-lasting utility and a classic handfeel.

The book, The Cutters Practical Guide turned out to be the gift that kept-on giving. Passed down as a family heirloom printed in 1910 and sold at the time for 15 shillings and providing "economical cutting guides" for every garment in the wardrobe along with adverts for additional resources like uniform designs for "Military, Naval, Police and Fireman".
