W'Menswear was founded by Lauren Yates in 2015, born out of a desire to produce high quality, heritage-inspired garments for women - with a nuanced and ever-evolving perspective on femininity at the intersections of fashion, workwear, military garments, and history. Originally operating out of a converting shipping container in Bangkok, the brand has grown substantially with each new collection, employing specialty and custom fabrics as well as partnering with local workshops & artisans.
The F/W '23 collection, titled "Flying in Crosswinds", pays homage in part to Margaret "Maggie" Gee, a physicist and pilot, and one of the only two Chinese-American women to fly as a Women's Airforce Service Pilot (WASP) in WWII. These styles explore the way clothes have been used to reinforce and resist different political ideologies - repurposing and reimagining military styles into functional and flattering workwear.
A reimagined bomber jacket with more pockets than you'll know what to do with, the Mechanical Jacket is another favorite here at S&S, with a body made from a water-resistant Japanese houndstooth fabric and a soft cotton poplin lining inside. Knit details at the cuffs and collar help keep you comfortable, while the impressive 7 pockets will hold a generous amount of differently sized and shaped objects.
