As the heat of summer finally starts to fade, The Garbstore is already looking towards colder days. For Autumn/Winter 2026, its in-house label TDR returns with a collection that feels less concerned with what is new and more interested in what has already proved its worth.
That approach has always sat at the heart of TDR. Founded by The Garbstore’s Ian Paley, the label is effectively an ongoing research project, pulling references ftom decades of military clothing, British workwear, vintage denim and traditional menswear before stripping them back and rebuilding them through exceptional fabrics and unusual construction. The result is clothing that looks lived-in without being artificially nostalgic.
The AW26 collection continues that philosophy but shifts the mood considerably from the brighter colours seen earlierin the year. This season is quieter, leaning into washed greens, navy, brown, grey and natural tones.
Built Around Fabrics That Tell Their Own Story
The Cordura Balmacaan is one of the collection’s strongest new outerwear pieces. TDR combines combat wool with recycled nylon to create a tougher interpretation, finished with raglan sleeves and corozo nut buttons. Two versions are offered, including one lined with recycled Japanese PrimaLoft for additional warmth and one left unlined for a lighter option.
The Duxville Jacket moves further towards traditional outdoor clothing. Its hunting-jacket influence comes through in the oversized proportions and wrap-around pouch pockets, while Japanese canvas, a corduroy collar, elasticated cuffs and a Talon front zip give it the kind of practical construction that should only become better with age.
Then there is the Coverall Removed Jacket, where TDR’s obsession with denim becomes particularly obvious. Made from 11oz Japanese denim woven in Hiroshima, the jacket is deliberately sun-ages before being distressed and repaired by hand.
The Jungle Repair Pant follows a similar path. Taking cues from vintage fatique trousers, its two fabrications offer completely different interpretations of the same silhouette. The green version uses pigment-dyed Japanese stretchbwck satin with hand-distressed details, while the navy version references French worker serge. Both carry turned-up creases and deliberately stripped-back hem detailing.
A New Chapter for TDR Knitwear
TDR’s knitwear offering also expands for AW26. The Seamless Wool Tunic and Fisherman’s Crew joins the existing Seamless Wool Crewneck, all continuing the label’s relationship with Shima Seiki knitting technology.
Produced in Scotland from 100% Lamain Superfine British Lambswool, the garments are knitted three-dimensionally to minimise the traditional seams. The Tunic takes a relaxed approach with its V-neck and loose finished edges, while the Fisherman’s Crew goes in the opposite direction with a more traditional ribbee texture and loose rib hem.
TDR’s Accessories
For the first time, TDR also extends the collection into accessories, introducing matching beanies and scarves using a Fisherman’s rib construction. Once again, the pieces are produced seamlessly in Scotland.
Incense Holder
Alongside the clothing, The Garbstore has linked up with West London-based Vented for the West Eleven Incense Holder. Hand-cast from concrete, the object references the area’s sound-system culture while functioning as both an incense holder and sculptural piece. Its handmade production leaves visible imperfections across every piece, this also ensures that every incense holder is unique.
