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.
