The Japanese Pattern Challenge

A blog born from the desire for a winter coat in a color other than black.

Join me as I continue to explore the world of menswear. I AM my own luxury brand!

About Me

Mainelydad: I'm pretty much a self-taught sewist living the good life on the coast of Maine. What started as a crazy idea of making my own winter coat has snowballed into an array of men's outerwear and more. I love having the clothes that I really want. To that end -- I AM my own luxury brand!
