Engineered Garments Spring / Summer 2014

Good to hear they fit up top, Stitchy.

As far as the length goes, I had my tailor leave them two rolls longer than normal. It definitely takes the lower leg in a little bit.

I was torn over keeping the original hem so as to put a little string in and cinch them (that's what those two holes on the inside of each hem are for) but I decided I'd probably never wear them like that and just had her chop it.

Question, what do you guys do with the hems? These are way to long, do you guys have them shortened by a tailor or roll them? What length do you wear them at, high water or with a little slouch?

Yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to. I kept all my original hems and roll them up the ankle a bit for a more casual look on the weekends (especially since it is still so warm out), and then let them down to just a single roll if I want to wear them in a more MC casual style. Obviously would depend on your height though whether to get them hemmed or not.

c'mon stitchy, you know we need a fit pic man.....

I usually cinch, boot-tuck or double roll the hem on my fatigues

Thanks, guys.

CD, Im relatively short, 5,10 with shoes on, so there is no way I can wear them with a cuff without chopping them, would be like 5 or 6 turns if I dont have them tailored. Heck, I doubt a roll above the ankle would even look good now that I think how many turns it would need.

Ill try and get some pics soon.

The fatigues are a bit cropped, so I am surprised that you have to roll them 5 - 6 times but maybe EG went long on your size. I left mine un-hemmed. Perfect from my height (5'11") as I can wear without a roll and then can roll one or two times to show different degrees of ankle (I wear the M with an inseam of ~31.5").

However, I did bring my orSlow fatigues and EG USN pants to my tailor for a bit of shortening. On your fatigues, it is a quite easy to do the same. I think you should have ~8.25" of leg opening, so if you shorten, I would go your regular length and then you can wear with our without a roll, though, personally, I think they look a tad better rolled twice

Glad they fit in the top block. They strings also help with the added waist (Mine do).

Thanks, man. Im both short and I have short legs. My MC pants that have just about no break are hemmed with an inseam of 28.75 inches. 5 to 6 was a guess, but they were quite long when I tried em on, defo more than 3 rolls. Im sure Ill figure it out. My bigger concern is just the general cut of the legs, not slim at all, which is not usually what I aim for. It will be a fun new adventure!

I had to roll mine in size 34 five times to get them right to my ankle. Took about 3" off at the tailor so I could roll them twice and look normal.

Yoox purchase just arrived; my first ever EG piece. Some greyish blackish pants.

Not sure what the model is, I think Yoox had them listed as the usual 'Casual pants' in 'Steel Grey' so I didn't really know what to expect.

Turned out really well, however. Nice texture & the fit is cool. They're kinda half-way towards sweat pants but I think the material is enough to distinguish them apart.

It's made me want more EG.

Missed out on the remaining XL brown homespun Bedford on Garbstore and am looking to avoid paying the horrendous duty importing from the US/Canada will cost.

Anyone got any inside info. on when the Euro stores are likely to get the new season in? A lot still haven't.

Tried on the pants yesterday, definitely not to small. Little big if anything. Waist and thigh feels great, but they are a little roomier down the leg than I am accustomed to. Will have to figure out how to wear them properly.

Darn, I passed on that pair because I feared they would be too cropped. I wouldn't roll them 5-6 times... definitely hem them with room for a roll or 2.

 

[in stitches]

Defo not cropped. You done missed out. Dont worry, I have no intent of rolling more than twice.

 

[noob in 89]

Any more than twice and you're just playing with it.
