WORKWEAR

In genderless sizing from XS-XXXL the book 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 you will be talked through the cloth used and offered 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.
