Mechanical Aid Shirt - Red Check

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. The Mechanical Aid Shirt takes its inspiration from classic workwear smocks of yesteryear, with a few enhanced and updated details. The usual button placket has been swapped for a zipper, and a ring of 5 deep pockets surround the hem. It's got an easy, relaxed fit with an oversized silhouette that layers easily on top of other garments.  Wash cold and hang dry. 100% cotton Lightweight Japanese check plaid Oversized fit Popover Zip placket Two chest pockets 5 Large hem pockets Wash cold and hang dry Custom woven labels Made in Thailand
