In genderless sizing from XS-XXXL M&M's illustrates the eternal relevance and versatility of traditional workwear shapes and detailing. These simple everyday garments are clothes not fashion, living outside the fast and careless, trend-led landscape.
M&M have explored the concept and designs within the book through conversations with makers of varying disciplines, from weaving to wood turning. These makers model the patterns and tell us a little of their story and their craft.
WORKWEAR presents five new complete patterns, printed full size:
- A chore jacket (choose to make with a zip or button closure)
- A classic shirt (choose to make a shirt or shirt dress with a shirt or grandad collar)
- A pair of trousers (choose to make trousers or shorts)
- A classic blazer (choose to make lined, unlined or with bound seams)
- A Japanese-inspired mail bag
In each chapter M&M talks through the cloth used and offer tips and advice on handling and finishing. This is not a beginner’s book but nor is it advanced. It’s a handbook of staple makes and satisfying techniques, sure to become a well-thumbed companion to any maker’s handmade wardrobe.
