Engineered Garments – Spring Summer 2013 Collection

A firm favourite here at End, Daiki Suzuki’s Engineered Garments come back time and time again with collections consisting of reinvented workwear classics. The Spring/Summer collection for 2013 is no different, with a number of innovatively executed pieces utilising a variety of heritage and contemporary technical fabrics. Infused throughout the whole collection is a real celebration of all things summer, inspired in many ways by the conditions in which Daiki designed the whole range, during one of the hottest New York summers on record.

The Ground Jacket, an EG staple, rears its head in 2013 draped in a particularly eye-catching floral print. Taking inspiration from classic Hawaiian prints but never surrendering from to function it with its detachable peaked hood, elasticated cuffs and drawstring hem. Bold printed designs have proved to play a big part in the SS13 collection, with a highlight of the collection being two new iterations of the Baker Jacket. Paying homage to heritage tailoring, a particular highlight is the Navy paisley Print version, constructed in New York’s Garment District and showcasing Daiki’s flair for prints.

The impeccable attention to detail which we have come to expect from Engineered Garments is present in every piece of this collection, be it in the SS13 version of the Windbreaker’s unique pocket design or the remarkable finishes on the Round Collar Shirt.

Engineered Garments – Autumn/Winter ’12 Collection

One of our personal favourites here at End, Engineered Garments serve up a blend of traditional outerwear with a functional sensibility which is unsurpassed. Based in Nepenthes, New York, revered designer Daiki Suzuki finds inspiration from a diverse spectrum of sources spanning American athletics to military uniform, bringing his ‘wabi-sabi’ ethos to every piece. For A/W’12 it’s very much business as usual for Engineered Garments, with silhouettes that have spanned numerous seasons such as the Work Shirt, Bedford Jacket and Field Parka returning in numerous military archive fabrics such as Cotton Whipcord and NYCO Ripstop. These are complemented by newer pieces such as the Shoulder Parka, USN Pant and this season’s highly anticipated piece, the updated Cruiser Jacket, an old favourite that has been reinvigorated through the addition of a fixed hood to that famous old round collar.

More shots from the previously posted features of Engineered Garments Fall / Winter 2012. New York based label Engineered Garments specialises in producing classic American sportswear and is recognised for its highly detailed development and construction. Taking influence from Military uniforms and outdoor wear, Japanese designer Daiki Suzuki has created an innovative brand whose name was born when his first pattern cutter commented that the apparel was ‘engineered’ rather than designed due to the vast detail in each piece.

Engineered Garments 2013 Spring / Summer Collection

Season after season, Daiki Suzuki‘s Engineered Garments proves that “heritage,” when done with inspiration and ingenuity, is not a fleeting trend. With the release of the Engineered Garments Spring/Summer 2013 lookbook, we are treated to yet another round of well-constructed, Americana-based pieces that are infused with Japanese sensibility and on-trend pattern usage. Ironically shot in black and white, the collection’s usage of loud and busy prints is tempered with soft, rumpled workwear and tailored basics colored in a neutral palette. Of-the-moment floral prints, paisley, patchwork and polka dots all make repeated appearances in a strong offering of unstructured blazers, anoraks, shorts, and other seasonal essentials. The lookbook, this time shot in an urban New York setting, also provides a nice change-up from the natural backdrops often favored by the label. Look for the Engineered Garments Spring/Summer 2013 collection to hit stores in the near future. Source: Fashion Press

Engineered Garments Fall/Winter 2012 has already dropped at Nepenthes New York. I know we've finally reached some solid summer weather, which means no one's currently thinking about buying clothing for fall and winter layering just yet. However, after seeing some of the new pieces from EG, you may want to reconsider. This drop features a nice variety of garments made from denims, cotton and wool and in a great colour palatte. I'm looking forward to checking out this collection while visiting Nepenthes next week. - FREE / MAN

Engineered Garments FW 2012 Previews - Mister Crew

A couple previews of the Engineered Garments Fall/Winter 2012 collection have surfaced recently – the first through a Japanese stockist and now another through the Gap Men Press publication which showcases work for upcoming seasons.
