Engineered Garments FW 2010

Has anyone got any hands-on advice about sizing for this collection?

I've got a white HB workshirt from the S/S10 collection in an L, and it measures at just about 22' chest, but context is saying their L workshirts are 21, which would be *just* too tight for me.

But then they say XL is 23' chest, so I'm inclined to believe their measurement of the L is a bit off.

Anyone know better?

edit: Plus the difference on chest between M and L is 0.5; this can't be right can it?

Both workshirts that we have measure on the + side of 21 1/2". Keep in mind that all fabrics shrink down differently after the wash. These are very doughy flannels, so you can surely predict that they will shrink but stretch as well.

Holy....those jackets with the glove thingies are amazing.

Cheers for the insight Drink. CityHunter - Called the bike jacket - http://www.contextclothing.com/item.php?id=1643 Though again, I can't seem to believe Context's measurements. the XL is a 20.5 Chest? Christ.

In a recent discussion I had with a nepenthes representative, it was disclosed the nepenthes store would open during mid September at 307 w. 38th st. in NYC. I hope this helps.

The context EG buys look great but none of the pieces I want are in my preferred color. Is the shawl collar knit jacket p2p really 20.5 on an extra large? Are they recommending we size up on this piece? Very interesting.

^ That's the address for their offices, I guess they're getting one of the spots on the street level.

For measurements, I recommend double checking the Japanese sites who usually do a good job on that.

So...go the 1st month for the opening or 2nd/3rd for more selection?

In my opinion, September to December is the best time to travel here (to the Northeast). The holidays in the city are beautiful, especially in late November early December. I love walking through the village with the scent of fresh cut pine permeating the air. However, I also love the summer cool down period in September and October. I am sure you will be happy with which ever dates you choose!

Some items from our first shipment from EG are now pictured online - can't sell anything online technicall however. http://stockroom.inventorymagazine.c...eered-garments

We should do a meet up at the Nepenthes store when it opens, also Ryan did you buy any WWM?

Afraid not, just personals - Woolen Mills isn't allowed to be sold in Canada due to some unfortunate licensing deal with some grumpy old guy.

I hope this helps. Here are stockists for some individual items. Note, style and color were not provided. I should have stockists for the type 200 jean, pea coat, bike jacket, hoodies and ashford jacket soon.

Canvas is in Malibu, CA. Nomad is in Toronto or Vancouver, I believe. Not sure about Outlooks.
