—01. Nice contrast of patterns.
—02. Floral and olive, almost always great together.

Words

Simple use of fabric textures and patterns is generally pretty key to any outfit. I particularly like the mix of these two looks. Using knit cotton, floral patterns, oxford and a simple military olive, you can pretty much come up with enough combinations to last you a good few years. The way the items of Engineered Garment's spring collection work together are pretty tough to beat.

Although shops are receiving spring goods like there's no tomorrow, we can't help but look ahead as we're finishing up our fall-winter buying. Of course Engineered Garments is one of the brands we look forward to most, and it will be no different for 2011 as Daiki Suzuki has put together another outstanding collection. Featuring some great wools, some classic staples and some new styles, it was fun to buy and will be one of the highlights next fall.

Words

Our second delivery from Engineered Garments just arrived and it had some great accessories inside. The shipment also included an olive ripstop Cruiser, broadcloth Classic shirts and a short sleeve camp shirt - but the floral bow ties and pocket squares are looking especially good. The bow ties are hand made in New York and feature some of the collection's finest fabrics.

In Stock: Engineered Garments Spring Collection

—01. Classic shirt in madras cotton.

Words

As you can tell from the number of brands featured on our site, there aren't a ton that I get too excited about. Engineered Garments is definitely one of them however, and its an exciting time when new deliveries start rolling into the shop. This week we received our first spring delivery from Engineered Garments and its filled with great pieces. We bought the collection with a strong sense of color, tone and fabric. It's a nice mix the different blues, great patterns and a lot of soft cottons; from poplin to twill to madras. The shipment includes shirting, accessories and some really nice jackets in the Bedford and Cruiser styles.

In Stock: Engineered Garments Workaday Totes

—01. Available in navy and natural canvas, $220.

Words

While I'm sad to be away from the shop during our first deliveries, I am pretty excited about carrying the Workaday collection this spring. One of the items I had been on the hunt for since I first saw it, was the canvas tote bag in natural. It's one of the best canvas bags I've come across and I really like the subtle details on the webbing, more so on the natural bag. They are pretty tough to come by, pretty much impossible outside of Japan and the Nepenthes store, so I was excited to see they arrived in the first few boxes from Engineered Garments this season.

Engineered Garments isn't sold online, so email us or call us anytime for more information.

After our appointment with Engineered Garments yesterday, we went down to the Nepenthes shop to have a look around. The shop had recently received quite a bit of Engineered Garments' spring collection and also is currently featuring some really nice art by Hiroshi Kagoshima. While there were a few new pieces I wanted, they just so happened to show up in Vancouver today as well. Our first delivery includes shirting accessories and the tote bags from the Workaday collection.
