TDR SS26: Archival Instinct, Modern Intent

West London’s TDR has never chased trends. It refines them. For SS26, the in-house label from The Garbstore delivers one of its most considered menswear offerings to date — a tightly edited collection that moves from re-worked vintage tees to 1920s–30s inspired silhouettes and a sharply cut wool-cashmere suit.

TDR has always operated as a kind of product re-documentation exercise — taking decades (sometimes centuries) of garment evolution and filtering it through a distinctly modern lens. The result is clothing that feels familiar without being nostalgic. There’s Japanese denim with the right weight and wash, deadstock fabrics repurposed with intent, and British-made knitwear that understands proportion.

The re-worked tees land with particular clarity this season. They’re not distressed for effect; they’re reconstructed with purpose. Likewise, the tailoring nods to interwar structure — higher rises, fuller legs, softer shoulders — but never slips into costume. The wool-cashmere suit is a standout: practical, refined, and built to be worn separately as much as together.

What sets TDR apart is its consistency. Born from the founder’s extensive archive of references, the label has built a loyal following well beyond Notting Hill, resonating across North America and East Asia where heritage-informed menswear remains currency. Each piece carries those familiar characteristics: utility, fabric integrity, and a quiet confidence.

TDR SS26 is available online and in-store at Couverture & The Garbstore, 188 Kensington Park Road, Notting Hill, London.
