Description
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 converted 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 and artisans.
The Spring/Summer 2025 collection is titled "Spinning For A Revolution," and draws inspiration from early women's cycling apparel, suffragette cyclists from the late 1800s, and the writings of Dervla Murphy — whose stories detailed her solo bicycle journey from Ireland to India in the early '60s. Following its invention, women began to enjoy unexpected new freedom through bicycle travel, allowing them to access social spheres and spaces outside of the home, and freeing them from the restrictive dress norms of the era.
The W'Menswear x Kardo capsule collection brings the strengths of both brands together, riffing on familiar silhouettes from W'Menswear's line with handwoven textiles, natural dyes, and atelier-style construction.
"Natural dyes and handwoven textiles have embodied a woman's relationship with Mother Nature for thousands of years. They are powerful portals that women have used to tell stories through the ages. Continuing this legacy is our small contribution to Indian wisdom crafts."
The Maggie Pants are named for 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. They're a W'Menswear take on the iconic Monkey Pant, featuring a pleated front and an exaggerated taper, but omitting the usual seat pocket for a cleaner silhouette. More suited for civilian life than any battlefield they've got a slightly more shaped and flattering fit that the original US military trousers, as well as a slightly cropped leg.
They're made from a hand-loomed, 100% cotton, 3x1 denim fabric with white Kantha topstitching and Khadi fabric trims. Khadi is a traditional Indian cloth made from handspun yarn and then naturally dyed (or left undyed and unbleached). In this case, both the denim body and Khadi trims are completely undyed, and will take in pigments and develop a unique patina over time as you wear these.
Fits true to size. Wash warm and dry flat.
