In our latest book, we present five complete patterns. In genderless sizing from XS XXXL we illustrate 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. We 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. The reader can view their fabric choices and interpretations of the patterns and in turn formulate their own. The book includes the 5 full size patterns and variations; Blazer, Chore Jacket, Drawstring Trousers Shorts, Shirt Shirt Dress, Mail Bag. In each chapter we will talk through the cloth used and offer tips and advice on handling and finishing. This is not a beginners book but nor is it advanced. Its a handbook of staple makes and satisfying techniques, sure to become a well thumbed companion to any makers handmade wardrobe. Hardback 192 pages 20. 7 x 1. 85 x 26. 04 cm 788g
