Ever since majhax said I should get the khaki iridescent suit and wear it with slouchy white tees and white sneaks every day in summer I've sort of wanted to do that. Get the trousers hemmed up a bit or something. Not going to do it though.

the ss05 pic looks like one of your fitpics. in part because of how he is posing.

where does eg production scheme fit in their brand vision ?

they don't use luxury fabrics and they use a really limited ny based tailor/production scheme. eg will never make a hard shell or whatever, eg basically boils down to the fabrics you can find on 40th st and a sewing machine.

maybe this fits in with their jam as making traditional garms? stuff that coulda been made w the technology of the 60s? just seems limiting. like a master painter who only uses a no2 pencil

I love eg and will continue to shop their gear but the price simply isn't always there. and sometimes it is there. but their production model is definitely worth a look

compare 210$ eg shorts to 130$ burkman joints

compare a 180$ eg ocbd (unwashed and will shrink) made of middling quality fabric to gbv which is washed and of a superior dyed Oxford

they suffer similar problems of scale like visvim. at the same time their blazers are very competitively priced for the same exact reason. just saying they are unique in their manufacturing process and it has ups and downs

The slouchy workwear suits are the best things

I love engineered garment's designs but also they don't appeal greatly to me personally as clothes

Syek make a seh thread. He's always going on on his twitter about mad fabrics. Says he has some one man weaving operation on the go or something.

In all honesty I've never touched eg but the price doesn't seem much crazier than a lot of stuff over here. At sort if Italian heritage level.

i remember driving by drinkwater's cambridge 2 months ago and recognizing some eg in the window display. and i thought that was really cool, at that point it was the first time i saw an 'internet fashion' brand in a store irl. fast forward to yesterday and i find out that drinkwater's was like the original american stockists of eg and apparently have really really good buys of it. going to stop by next weekend, maybe talk to the man of the namesake if he's there.

apparently he stocked fw03... and every season since. i was 8 y.o. back then, sheesh.

these pants are so great

really want the salmon pea jacket but there's no way I can justify that. Maybe this will be the thing I really like for a long time and 2 years from now it shows up on classifieds and I finally buy it. Although it's totally possible that it will fit retarded like all the EG blazers do on me.

so i was at drinkwater's cambridge the other day. i talked with gary drinkwater about his relationship with daiki suzuki (apparently pronounced 'di-E-key') and his business in general.

from what i can remember: when drinkwater was working at louis (super coveted menswear shop in boston) in 1985 he greeted suzuki as he walked in the door. at the time, suzuki was employed as a buyer for nepenthes (back then it was only nepenthes japan) living in boston making huge buys of american heritage clothing like woolrich and carharrt for the stores. so 'from then on it was a close friendship between us two' according to drinkwater. suzuki continued to live in boston for several years before moving out to california, so they lost touch. then come the later 90's, drinkwater is planning on opening his own store and at the same time engineered garments was just getting off the ground. since they were close friends drinkwater wanted to stock EG and he ended up stocking fw03. according to gary, he eg really took off in FW 05 and 06, and the rest is history. so there's some extra background for anyone who's interested.

i should note that drinkwater's has a special side-thing where they will buy an eg piece for you if it's one of the rarer less-bought items, and ship it out to you. drinkwater says he only stocks about 1/20th of the variety of pieces every season, but you can get virtually any piece from the season if you ask him. pm on styleforum or email.

i know i made a joke about this before but it is kind of uncanny how similar ramdom's fitpic poses are to stock e.g. pics.

Really like that jacket, is it a design they release often or a one-off style?

don't think there is a porter jacket this season but there's no shortage of similar items.

i find myself thinking about a navy melton or serge bedford quite often these days.

The slubby ones are nice but I'm not feeling them as a pair

Starting to find all of these vans/converse/whatever collabs a bit tiring, but they seemed so exciting when i first started liking clothes
