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.

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.
Yeah, I need a hair cut, a belt sure… I know. But I also need this jacket Levis is making with the Filson people. WWD broke the news this morning, However…I’m the first to actually get hands on a sample.
Ladies & Gents this is Aylin Beyce; who designed the collection along with top gun Carl Chiara. Although she wears the most insane turquoise eye makeup daily, she is NOT a peacock like yours truly so I had to pretty much beg her to step outside for this.
What it looks like on cement.
What it will look like if you wear it like you mean it.
Sometimes clip on suspenders dont bother me. I like his tattersall shirt and khaki pant with extended button tab. Their vintage dress shoes are kinda cool.
I like this kid and his denim on denim kit. Especially liked how he mixed the gingham shirt with the batik bow-tie. The boots are Duckie Brown for Florsheim, most kids his age are wearing cheap 2nd hand hard bottoms or some wack designer number with some mens leggings or tight jeans. I also like his proportions, nothing he is wearing is small on him. I obsess with fit and its hard, it takes years to build a wardrobe of items that fit. The denim shirt is just the right length, his blazer is a good fit too with most kids today wearing them so short and tiny. Im not saying everything fits perfectly, just pointing out how this young lad isnt wearing tight little boy clothing. The sunnies are Lacoste from Silver Lining Opticians Deadstock collection. The most insane collection of unworn vintage frames I’ve ever seen. Go on in and say hi to Eric & Jordan. Decent fellas.
