hydeist, I beg to differ :) The whole reason I started sewing was because I had those curves, and I see alot of guys with them, especially nowadays.
I don't have many patterns, but I'm hoping to put a tutorial up for sewing a typical men's button up shirt soon. Just need to perfect my technique.
Any menswear would be great. It constantly amazes me as to how many options women have and how few men have. Also, recent shopping expeditions (I've been separated from my machine for 2 months) have reiterated this point. Men need more choice! Now that my bloke found his perfect corduoroy suit, his next wish is for some 1970s style short basketball shorts.
I have to say that like StrayCat, I disagree with hydeist, but with regard to ease of sewing men's clothes... perhaps there are a few less curves, but the shirt I just finished took three times what it takes me to make a simple blouse for women, given the sophisticated collar that is "normal" for men's shirts, the cuff and sleeve arrangements, the pleats and the pockets. I think making interesting garments for men is just as challenging as it is for garments for women, it's just that the style choices are a little different. But we all agree on the principle of more menswear :)

I'd love more menswear especially fashionable patterns for younger men. Most patterns you can buy are rather boring.
