Engineered Garments Store Opens in NYC ~Sneak Peek
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.

New Tailor In Town
Jared Everett just joined us here in San Francisco as Master Tailor in the Levi Strauss flagship store. Love his 1920’s British workwear jacket. The buttons are just beautiful. The briefcase was previously owned by his grandfather. ALong with his motorcycle, Dude brings much flare to the city. Jared previously ran the Mister Freedom shop in Los Angeles.

We started out our trip by picking up Louisa at her home on Summit Ave. in Mt. Tamalpais.
Before you see the view from the outside, you must see the curtain!
Nice view
Eventually we got off and not soon after stopped. Yes, they had yellow mustard.
And soon stopped again and tipped our hats to a few locals
Loved these colors!
Of course we stopped at a few 2nd hand stores. These lockers were great.
really wanted to get the scoreboard for Gordon.

We stopped in a little seaside town looking for lodging, where were told it was graduation week, every hotel was full… So we kept driving.
This dude was shooting his friend surfing. Pretty cool piece. He shoots commercials and stuff…
We were getting tired so we checked into the Curly Redwood Lodge
In the morning we went to collect some driftwood. You know Jay loves his driftwood.
Doing Hachonos for driftwood picking.
We were fortunate enough to be invited into the home of a Cherokee woman who fitted us for some custom moccasins.
