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 2024 collection, titled Diesel Fueled Defiance, is inspired by women who were on the forefront of automobile racing during the Civil Rights movements of the 1960s. Facing down particularly fierce and widespread sexist sentiments, these women brought about advancement for all women through their relentless pursuit of speed and the feeling of adventure.
Made from a deadstock Japanese stripe fabric the Black W'Mens Work Jean features a high rise, wide straight legs, and a pleated front. The main fabric is 95% cotton and 5% polyester, and while it's comfortably lightweight, it has a sturdy drape that holds shape well.The relaxed fit sits easily on the hips or waist, and features bar tack reinforcements at the pockets and belt loops. The back pockets are cut from an all black 100% cotton fabric for contrast.
