Open Source Trans Masculine Clothing Tech Packs

no idea if this interests anyone but Both& Apparel has made most of (if not all) their tech packs free/open source. The company is shutting down but, their clothes where designed with the intent of fitting trans masc bodies. The sizes range from XS-4XL. So any trans masculine folks handy with a sewing machine or with interest in fashion now is the time!

Both&’s tech packs

Shop the world's best clothing for masc of center folks. Designed using a totally new fit system for anyone who was assigned female at birth

I have no idea how to sew nor do I really know how to read tech packs but I'm definitely now intrigued!

WHAT IS A TECH PACK?

A Tech Pack provides vital information required to manufacture a garment for production. The Tech Pack includes thorough details about all aspects of the garment and is used for all communication regarding the garment in the production cycle. The designer, tech team, and sometimes the merchandisers are responsible for the creation of the Tech Pack.

It is used by the Merchandisers to ensure that all required fabrics and components are available for the manufacturing process. The Marketing Team may also use the Tech Pack during their presentations to large department stores and key customers.

The more detailed and clear the Tech Pack, the more efficient the Production cycle and the more accurately the garment is executed, based on the designer’s vision. The more effectively the information in the Tech Pack is communicated, the more accurate the price quotes, the better quality and consistency, and the more organized the production process overall.
