RYE TENDER / Odessa Pigment-Dyed Knit Polo Shirt

RYE TENDER
A brand focused on unused raw materials in garment production. Treating surplus materials as a “starting point,” it seeks to unlock their inherent value, creating pieces that move seamlessly between basics and trends, free from style constraints.









Distinct expression from thick cotton yarn
Made from 100% cotton using a classic jersey knit construction.

Compared to finer yarns, thick cotton yarn creates a pronounced texture and natural volume in the fabric. This gives it a three-dimensional depth and a rich, structured appearance.

In addition, a stone-wash finish enhances the yarn’s softness and fullness, resulting in an exceptionally soft fabric—almost uncharacteristic of 100% cotton. It delivers a comfortable, broken-in feel from the very first wear.



Thick yarn × pigment dye for a richer texture
Pigment dyeing applies color to the surface of the fabric rather than penetrating it evenly, creating natural irregularities and a faded, vintage-like tone.

The uneven surface of thick yarn pairs particularly well with pigment dyeing. Subtle variations in tone enhance the fabric’s dimensional look, allowing it to develop character as it is worn—creating a truly personal patina over time.





The front features a classic button-front polo design. While maintaining a traditional look, the faded finish from pigment dyeing gives it a relaxed, effortless feel.





Ribbed cuffs and hem add subtle structure to the silhouette. While the overall finish carries a relaxed, worn-in feel, these details help refine the silhouette and prevent it from looking unkempt.







A cropped silhouette aligned with modern sensibilities.
It features a relaxed fit, while the cropped length creates a compact silhouette that avoids looking overly loose.

It pairs naturally with wide or voluminous bottoms, balancing proportions and completing the overall styling with ease.

A piece that completes the look on its own, even when worn simply.
