About Tonal
MADE TO BE WORN
Tonal is a small studio making coats, knits and denim from natural fibres. Fewer pieces, better cloth, and the people who sew it paid fairly.

Our story · Since 2019
One coat, then one rule.
We started in 2019 with a single wool coat, cut in a 20 m² studio. The rule came with it: if a piece cannot be worn with everything else we make, we do not make it.
A short range lets us order cloth in steady runs, pay our partner mills on time and keep every core piece in stock all year. Most of what we sell today has not changed in four seasons, and that is the point.

From sketch to your wardrobe
How a piece is made
Four steps, no shortcuts. It takes about eighteen months from the first sketch to the day a piece goes on sale.
3 fittings
01
Drawn by hand
Every pattern starts on paper in our studio and goes through three fittings before we cut a sample.
12 months
02
Worn for a year
Samples go to twelve people who wear them for a full year. Anything that pills, sags or fades goes back to the pattern.
200 per batch
03
Sewn in small runs
Two family-run workshops sew in batches of 200, so seconds stay rare and nothing piles up in a warehouse.
Lifetime
04
Mended for life
Send any piece back and we fix seams, zips and buttons for the cost of postage, for as long as you own it.
What we stand for
Four promises, kept in writing
Natural fibres first
Wool, cotton, linen and leather from three mills we visit every year. We use blends only where they make a piece last longer.
Made to last
Heavier cloth, double-stitched seams and spare buttons in every pocket.
1 year
of real wear before a piece goes on sale
Mend, don't bin
Seams, zips and buttons fixed for the cost of postage, for as long as you own the piece.
Fair making
Small workshops, fair wages and orders placed far enough ahead that nobody works late to hit a deadline.
Wages agreed before we place an order
Two workshops we know by name
Invoices paid within 14 days
We would rather sell you one coat you keep for ten years than ten coats you keep for one.

Most customers begin with the overcoat, the heavyweight tee or the merino knit, then build from there.
