What is surplus fabric?

Surplus fabric or dead stock fabric is brand new, never been used material that already exists.

It is over-ordered by other brands, unused, or left over from their production process. It sits in mills and warehouses with nowhere to go.

Unused pre-consumer textile waste is “hidden waste” amounting to at least 10 million kilograms of fabrics in Australia each year (Australian Surplus Textile Survey Summary Report - 2022)

We couldnt justify making new fabric when something this good already exists. So we didn't.

The Patch: Every patch on the Sardine Tuxedo Jean started life as a campaign backdrop from our first drop in 2023. All vinyl was hand cut and painted to imperfection by Jim and Gem.

Indigo Dye & Wash Instructions:

Indigo dye sits on the surface of the denim fibre. That's what gives it depth of colour and how it develops a patina over time. Expect transfer onto light surfaces and clothing in the first few wears. This is normal for indigo denim and settles after a few washes.

How to wash:

Wash after around 10 wears unless visibly dirty. Turn inside out, cold gentle cycle, with a cup of white vinegar. Wash solo for the first few washes — hand washing works too.

After washing, gently roll from the hem upwards to remove excess water. Line dry in shade to avoid fading.

Enjoy your garment as it naturally fades and creases in the places you wear it most.

This is a relaxed unisex fit. The rise sits mid to high depending on your height.
