A hands-on manual and a history and celebration of clothes tending--and its remarkable resurgence as art form, political statement, and path to healing the planet.

For thousands of years, mending was a deep craft that has for too long been a secret history. But now it's back, bigger and better than ever. In this book Kate Sekules introduces the art of visible mending as part of an important movement to give fashion back its soul. Part manifesto, part how-to, MEND calls for bold new ways of keeping clothes and refreshing your style. Crammed with tips, fun facts, ravishing photography, and illustrated tutorials, MEND tells you exactly how to rescue and renew your wardrobe with flair and aplomb--and save money along the way.

Whether you've never owned a needle or are an aspiring professional, MEND gives you clear instruction and witty advice, with over thirty techniques, from classic darning and patching to cheeky new methods invented by Sekules, to help you turn every garment into a unique fashion statement. Including interviews with menders, shameful fashion industry facts, a ten-step closet mend, cheat sheets, stitch guides, moth elimination, museum conservator and vintage dealer tricks, and more, this is a book to inspire, delight, and galvanize. Sharp, funny, and incredibly timely, MEND leads the slow fashion revolution into its next phase, where getting dressed is a joyful, creative experience for all.

Sturdy and works great
Size: 15ft, Style: 8 Gauge
Used this for an approximately 8' run in my electric UTV to power a 2500W inverter running off the 48V batteries so I could power AC tools out in the field. Very thick casing and nice and strong, but flexible enough to route around the frame of the UTV.

Insulation and outside cover materials tough to cut and strip.
Size: 30ft, Style: 10 Gauge
Made in China. Wire works fine but the materials used for insulation and the outer cover are a pain to separate and strip for use. This isn’t like Ancor wire!

Well worth it, Cost efficient and heavy duty! don't hesitate just buy!!
Size: 100ft, Style: 14 Gauge
Very nice and durable wire. well insulated, neatly wrapped and held secure in roll with velcro straps and wire is flexible enough but at the same time sturdy for any job. Wire strippers had no problem pulling insulation coat off. all 100 foot of wire was used on a new pontoon build and will be ordering more from these guys. If you are looking at a couple options of which wire will do you the best look no further and hit BUY NOW!
