Engineered Garments SS11

[AGPi]

Looks great. How do the classic shirts fit compared with the work shirts of past seasons? I'm usually a small or medium in those.

thanks timpoblete

also, I don't remember the lookbook models being so homeless looking in past seasons. Is this something new that I'm not aware of... homeless-chic?

nothing in the collection has really caught my eye tbh. Two Tone engineer jacket in olive is probably my favorite item. Could be the first season for over 4 years where i don't make a purchase. I actually think the WWM's s/s 11 looks more interesting.

Other way round here...reckon this season is going to cost me a fortune...already bought 3 shirts.

WWM hasn't interested me that much as yet...the green jacket ok but a bit bright.

Engineer Jacket is awesome...can't wait to grab it in olive...haven't seen it anywhere as yet...

maybe its because a lot of the items are similar season on season & i've just got a little bored with the brand and don't need the same shirt or jacket in a different colour or pattern? I used to buy a workshirt each season but the fit is awful now, way too long in length + narrow shoulders & the high hem is another design point that i dislike, used to buy size medium but can't get the right fit now in these. Then theres the re-hash of the traditional field parka's which i'm not keen on, especially this seasons belted effort which looks baggy from the waist down. Not keen on any of this seasons outerwear, there is much better out there from other brands imo.

Shirts are a difficult cut to wear I must agree...have to layer under them...wear a blazer/jackets etc due to the high cut vents. I'm 6'4 so the long length work for me...I usually wear higher rise trousers as well so can get away with the vent as well usually...

Also as a newcomer to the brand I'm buying the rehashed items for the first time...I suppose that's the difference.

yes your 6 '4' will work better than my 5 '10' in the work shirts, main problem i have is the medium's perfect on chest but too narrow on the shoulders, the large is too big on chest & longer in length also so i'm stuck!!
Think i'll buy the olive engineer jacket, just hope the outerwear is improved for F/W 11/12

I hope there is a pocket square in that blue batik, or a floral; the Context selections are a bit dull in that regard.

Those embroidered shirts are amazing, but damn expensive. $187 short sleeve and 275.00 long sleeve at Nepenthes.

Did you happen to check the price on the floral tab collar? The teal-ish one.

Are you referring to the tuille ones? Do they come in more styles than just tab-collar?

 

[g transistor]

The tuille ones are button-down

D'oh! Right. Thank you, sir.

I'm talking about this one. They have a short sleeve version in black or navy for 187 and a long-sleeve in white or navy for 275.

I'm really surprised that it's ~$100 more just for the long-sleeved version. Love that shirt, but I'd have to get the short-sleeved version.
