Would you look at their hats! If you want to have fun with your fedora, take a page out of their book!
Forgive me for not crediting the names of the artists shown above. If you know who painted what, please do share as you always do.
The kind folks of Engineered Garments invited me to tour their store that opens later today at 307 W. 38th St. in a space that used to repair sewing machines will now sell their collection as well as Nepenthes and Needles. In fact, the old signage is still there. Not covered or painted over, yet anyhow…
Bossman/Founder of Nepenthes & Needles designer Keizo Shimizu. I need those socks!! Hanging the work of Carrie Housman & Darbury Stenderu The show is based on designs they have done for Nepenthes in the past. I know its a sneak preview but Im gonna delve in a lil here. No two of the fourteen fixtures around the store are alike. There is one made of rare pieces of wood, cant remember the name of the wood but the Japanese use it for chessboards. favourite shirt. Suits insane. Love it. Costumey, yes, but I'm stuck in the 70's in my head. Rabbit I think. Made from actual Woolrich blanket fabric! I know some fellas who'll love this long shirt. Myself included. & just a few standard shirts for a more regular kinda guy. In the photo before this, that club collared black striped shirt on the left is so insanely beautiful. Mark McNairy for Engineered Garments. Exclusive Shit. Leather & Suede! Trickers Monks!!!!! Old bandannas made into patchwork pocket squares. They have scarves as well! South2 West8 Dressing Room Vestibule Jewelry Yup, Engineered Garments poncho! All the buttons are different, and vintage! Lets just say pajamas, or my favorite things in the store. You may call them leggings, I call them longjohns! Feel that mohair! The crown jewel. So dope. More artwork waiting to be hung. Thank you much Angelo. That Nepenthes shirt is fire.
Country Mart Shoe Repair. Loved the colors! Kinda liked how this couple matched in their chambray or light denim, plastic glasses and same colored shoes. Dudes awesome. And a dude on the street I shot out of a car. There was a pop-up event in the backyard of Union & Undefeated. The Generic Man showcased his new collection Generic Surplus; ARMY vs. NAVY, their first collaboration with Undefeated. Limited to 300 pairs. Handcrafted from vintage military textiles.
Funny gal with fine personal style! Not trying to give excuses, my shots are not great but she was just killing it and I captured what I did. Thank you Brandee.
Tucked away in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood is Al’s Attire. At first glance I thought it was a custom shoe maker but after a look inside you can see Al makes shirt, pants, hats and lots of crazy stuff.. I love a retail space thats trapped in time, old hat boxes decorating the walls etc…Thats Al in the denim coveralls. While I dont love everything, I love that he sews everything right there and shapes & blocks hats!
