^ EG usually releases Reverse Olive Sateen fatigues every season. I prefer the thicker fabric on the FW versions.

Only a few months until FW13 should be releasing. I've seen the collection in person; it reminded me a lot of WWM FW09.


FW13 more of a hunting inspiration?

really like the fit on those! So wish I could get a pair of reversed sateen in that fit. Still trying to warm up to the bagginess of my Workadays.

I'm really keen to own a pair of Workaday Fatigues in the Olive or Navy, olive seems to be the fan favourite! And every pic ive seen of them looks fantastic. I have a tall and slim build and was wondering will they work on me? Advice anyone? Thank you in advance! :)

Check out the FW13 topic: http://www.styleforum.net/t/302547/engineered-garments-fw13

Definitely some interesting fabrics and designs. I wouldn't say hunting inspiration.

Can you try on the Fatigues anywhere? I think they work well because of the almost Yohji-esque fit. I'm particularly biased here, though.

Sadly no, however the closest thing i have that's olive and real loose are Desert Pants from the Fw11 collection. However i dont know how similar/dissimilar they are to Fatigues Workaday in terms of fit/cut/shape...

Hm, I don't know the fit on the FW11 desert pants. I've had desert pants that fit very similar to the workdays and some that fit much more slim...unfortunately both were picked up on sale so not 100% sure of the season for each one. My blue twill pair, maybe from FW11, were the ones that fit similar to the workdays. My ripstop ones fit much slimmer, but they ca,e from Yoox so no idea on season.

Workadays are big, but great in their own way. Fabric is amazing and I love the fatigue pant design.

Hey, by any chance do you guys know if these shorts are Engineered Garments (I think from the FWK line)? If they are, anyone have headsup on any stockists carrying them?

Made a trip to London and managed to try a baker, bedford, Andover and Truman in various stores. Ended up getting a navy Truman:)
