New Garment Dyeing: Garments & Fabrics Brought to Life. Unlimited choices

Garment dye brings winter fabrics to life through texture, softness and character.

Unlike conventional cloth, which is dyed in the roll before it is ever cut, a garment-dyed piece is made up first and coloured afterwards. The dye settles into the seams, the pockets and the surface of the cloth unevenly and honestly, so no two pieces are ever quite the same. The result is a depth of colour and a softness of handle that you simply cannot get any other way.

The best outfits are often created across collections. Knitwear, garment dye, shirting and denim each bring their own character, but together they create depth, texture and effortless style. Don't be afraid to mix and match.

Choose Your Garment

New Colour Dyed — Jackets, Trousers, Shirt Jackets, Trucker Jacket, jeans and more.

Because the colour is applied to the finished piece, almost anything in the Roomten range can be garment dyed. A tailored jacket in dyed corduroy sits comfortably alongside trousers in the same cloth, while a shirt jacket or trucker jacket makes an easy outer layer for the weekend.

The Fabrics

Heavy corduroys, brushed cottons, moleskins and winter twills develop exceptional depth after the garment dye process and create a natural smart-casual appearance that becomes even more interesting with wear.

The cloths we use for garment dyeing are chosen for exactly this reason. Each one takes the dye in its own way:

• Corduroy — standard wale, pinwale, wide wale and wale rib, from 320 to 370 g/m². The pile drinks in the dye and the ridges fade first, giving that unmistakable worn-in look.
• Moleskin — 315 g/m². Dense, brushed and wonderfully soft once dyed; a classic for winter trousers and jackets.
• Gabardine and brushed gabardine — 280 to 295 g/m². A cleaner, sharper surface for a smarter finish.
• Selvedge Japan denim — 380 g/m². Heavy, characterful and made to age with you.

The Colours

Simply choose your garment, fabric and then colour.

The dye chart runs from pale sky blues and dusty pinks through sage, olive and forest greens to deep navies, charcoals, browns and a rich winter red. Because each fabric reacts differently, the same colour will read slightly differently on corduroy than on gabardine — part of the charm, and something we will talk through with you at your appointment.

Create an Outfit — or Separates

Create an outfit or separates to layer your finished look.

A jacket and trousers dyed together make a suit with a genuinely relaxed feel — smart enough for an informal wedding or a dinner, easy enough for every day. Or take a single piece: a dyed trucker jacket over cream trousers, or moleskin trousers with a navy knit. The colours are designed to work with the rest of your wardrobe, not against it.

How It Works

• Book an appointment at Savile Row, Farnham or North Devon — or start with a call.
• Choose your garment: jacket, trousers, shirt jacket, trucker jacket, jeans and more.
• Choose your fabric from the corduroys, moleskins, gabardines and denims above.
• Choose your colour from the dye chart — we will show you how it reads on your chosen cloth.
• We make your garment to your measurements and dye it to order. Allow four to six weeks.

Garment-dyed pieces are made to be worn hard and often. The colour softens, the seams lighten and the cloth moulds to you — which is rather the point.
