Engineered Garments Fall / Winter 2013

[Drinkwaters]



I don't expect technical outerwear, I know that's not their field. However, they could give the ripstop waterproof treatment for water-resistance. Makes sense for hooded winter outerwear. 

If you want your parka to have some water repellency either take it to your dry cleaner and have it proofed or buy a can of 3M Scotch Guard and apply it yourself. Remember, like silicone spray for your shoes, you should keep the can about 12 > 15 inches away from the garment and mist the garment, moving around it quickly. Let that treatment dry in and give it another application. The more you put into it, the greater the efficacy.
This is a heritage brand and EG is determined to keep that aspect of it to its original character.

I will probably do that. Waterproofing using wax and oils goes back hundreds of years, it is something I'd like to see EG explore in the future.

Thanks guys for the info!

I have a large ish head as well (7 1/2) with short hair.

I have found size large to be just big enough to fit me, in particular the adventure hat from SS12. The one with multiple button up pockets.

I tried on the anchor print bucket cap from SS13 and it was super tight. Cannot recall if it was one size fits all, or a size medium.

Hope this helps!

Own two buckets- I am 7 1/4 and The M is snug. My guess is the L might be pushing it for you but worth trying on if you can access them in person.

Large will be just fine for you mate, the bucket hats this season are made from fabrics that tend to give room [sweater knit wool, corduroy, melton wool etc] i have the navy wool camouflage one from FW12 and the Medium was quite roomy still. My avatar shows me wearing an adventure hat from SS12 in a size large.

Has anyone purchased a Cruiser Jacket this season? I'd love some insights on fit, true to size or size down? Im hearing mixed recommendations. Thanks in advance and sorry if this topic has been covered earlier...

Context had charcoal in xs, sold out now though.
Agree that grey was nowhere to be seen stateside, but didnt you order it through Gary?

it couldn't come through i guess

yeah, the charcoal did not seem pretty to me until i saw it lit here: http://www.takanna.com/item/tq-154/
& by then it was too late

Salmon People Shawl arrived from J+O. Noticeably thicker and as a result the fold is much more beefier. Much, much more rugged (latin?) Americana feel to it than regular solid color shawl. If you are more into the sleek SZ x Americana, don't get this one and go for the black or grey wool.

Such simple pattern for outrageous amount of cost (~700 at retail, yet sold out so fast in most places). Because one reason I enjoy EG is all the small details, I remember scratching my head and thinking 'could it be this simple? no way, there must be someting more... maybe it's got more details like hand warmers or reversible?' as I looked at the pictures online. As a result, I think my ghetto DIY button shawl is more functional and look nicer
