A Study in Tartan: fine cotton corduroy across the crown and curved peak

01 / Material

MATERIALS.

THE OBJECT COMES FIRST.

A design can only become part of an object when the object itself is worth keeping.
We choose materials, construction and decoration according to what each design requires.

A Study in Tartan / Cotton corduroy / Detail of the product render

02 / What we look for

The material is
part of the design.

01

Weight

Weight changes the way an object hangs, holds its shape and occupies space. We consider it alongside construction, rather than treating a heavier fabric as an automatic measure of quality.

02

Hand

The surface is part of the experience: brushed fleece, washed twill, fine corduroy ribs. Texture and the way a fabric feels belong to the design as much as colour does.

03

Structure

Fit, seams, panels and firmness determine the final silhouette. A soft crown and a structured front panel give the same image very different settings.

04

Decoration

Our current objects use embroidery. Scale, colour fields and line weight are considered with the fabric and the available surface. Any future technique must answer the same question: does it belong on this object?

03 / The materials

Different fibres.
Specific choices.

Organic cotton

Brushed fleece / Ribbed knit

The NUMINA hoodies and crew-neck sweatshirts use 100% organic ring-spun combed cotton in 350 gsm brushed fleece. Morpheus pairs that body with ribbed trims. Innocent Kitefall uses 100% organic cotton in a different construction: a ribbed beanie with a folded cuff.

Polyester & cotton

65% polyester / 35% cotton

Rush Hour uses this blend in a structured five-panel cap. Its broad front panel provides an uninterrupted setting for the city’s geometric fragments. The composition and the construction are two separate parts of the choice.

Acrylic & wool

80% acrylic / 20% wool

Dragon Painter uses an acrylic-and-wool blend in a structured, high-profile snapback. The tall crown and flat visor give the small embroidered scene an upright architectural setting.

04 / Material × method

From an idea
to a physical surface.

The Moirai hoodie, showing the embroidered composition on black fleece

Myth → Thread → Fleece

Heavy cotton
× embroidery

The Moirai begins with the thread of life. The drawing becomes interwoven forms and a continuous red line; embroidery turns that line into actual thread. The substantial cotton fleece gives this small composition a quiet, grounded setting.

Corduroy ribs and embroidered dog on A Study in Tartan

Character → Colour → Texture

Corduroy
× a small scene

The dog supplies the character; the tartan supplies the colour. Fine corduroy supplies another rhythm around them. Its regular ribs remain visible around the irregular embroidered fragments, making the support part of the composition.

Rush Hour: geometric embroidery on the broad front panel of a structured cap
Rush Hour / Structured five-panel cap / Product render

City → Fragments → Panel

Structured cap
× small-format embroidery

A limited surface asks a city to become a symbol. Rush Hour compresses buildings, signs and movement into distinct colour fields. The broad front panel keeps the image together; the crown and curved visor give it its place on the head.

05 / Different objects. Different materials.

No single material.
One design principle.

A sweatshirt needs a different body from a soft cap. A structured snapback, a denim bucket hat and a knitted beanie each ask something different of their construction.

We choose the support for the object’s function and the design it will carry. As new categories arrive, that principle remains: the material follows the object.

06 / Know the object

Look closer before choosing.

Sweatshirts & hoodies

NUMINA / Stanley/Stella Changer 2.0 and Cruiser 2.0

Weight & surface
350 gsm brushed fleece; 100% organic ring-spun combed cotton in the current pieces.
Construction & fit
Regular / medium unisex fit and set-in sleeves. Crew necks have ribbed trims; hoodies add a double-layered hood and pouch pocket. Compare the product size guide with a garment you own.
Embroidery
Small compositions leave the garment’s shape visible. Colour fields and line weight are adapted to remain readable in thread.

Headwear

URBS / Soft caps, structured caps, bucket hat and beanie

Structure & panels
Check crown height, panel construction and firmness. A relaxed dad hat, a tall snapback and a knitted beanie sit differently.
Visor & fit
Curved peaks, a flat visor, a fringed brim or a folded cuff change the outline. Some hats adjust, one has a fixed circumference, and the beanie stretches. Check each product’s stated range.
Embroidery surface
The image is scaled to the front panel or cuff. The surrounding fabric, seams and texture remain part of what you see.

07 / Transparency

We design the object.
We don’t pretend
to make the fabric.

Trencaditio develops the designs, selects blank garments and production partners, and chooses the relationship between the support and the decoration. Our current pieces are produced on demand through Fourthwall. We do not manufacture the fabrics or own the entire supply chain.

The product page is the reference for each object’s composition, construction and size guide. Materials can differ between categories and variants. Any certification belongs only to the specific product or material identified; it is never a promise about the whole collection.
