If anyone else hates having their time wasted, please consider reporting this guy’s items. He labels everything Engineered Garments, and was a total dick when I messaged him about it. Can’t tell you how much time I’ve spent scrolling through his crap listings:

eBay will force a change if a certain number report.

Looking for something clean, but not exorbitantly expensive. (I’ll be around messy people soon :eh: ). I got dollars and (somehow) new, nice pantaloons in the L/34-36 range *possibly for trade or sale*. I’ve probably mentioned that in the last two or so pages, idk

thx

I’ve got this navy ripstop in Large that I’d consider selling. I’ve found I’d prefer a vest without the hood.

Yeah people do that on Grailed too. Kind of annoying and just clutters the feed with nonsense. One time there was a generic Gap tee labelled as Engineered Garments lol

I've noticed a ton of Japanese shops on grailed selling really old and worn eg for premium prices. Super obnoxious. They usually have a lot of stock which just really just overwhelms my feed :/

Oh yeah, the Japanese/Asian sellers on Grailed are something special. Exorbitant prices for really worn out looking shirts. Much better deals and pieces to be found on Y!JP or Rakuten.

Grailed pro tip - you can filter by seller location!

There's one on Y!JP but not sure if it's the same one you're looking for: https://zenmarket.jp/en/auction.aspx?itemCode=k262598775

Thanks - I saw those too but I'm looking for the Sand colorway that Nepenthes designed.

Story Time:
Back in 2014 when I was a broke college student and a young man in the art of jawnz, I fell in love with the McKinlays x Nepenthes collab. I would go to GENTRY's website (RIP) every day, often multiple times to look at them. This went on for weeks. I knew I would love them, but they retailed for $370 and this would be the second most expensive article of clothing I ever bought. I couldn't get over that mental blocker.

Then, my size sells out at GENTRY. I start to panic and look at other stores to see if they have my size. Nope. No. Nah.

Crap.

I do what any emotional jawnz enthusiast would do.... I bought them a 1/2 size down and hope my feet don't burst into an enormous, malignant blister that robs me of the ability to walk.

I get them and they're just as gorgeous as I could have hoped. I try them on and it's instantly clear that they're too small (Scrunched toes just means you need to break them in, right? Right?!?). Here, I make the next logical move of an emotional jawnz enthusiast.... I wear them outside a few times hoping my feet will shrink as I do!

They don't.. Fast forward a few weeks later, I raise my white flag and end up selling them to another Styleforum user.

I still wish they would have worked out. Long story short, if you have a pair of the Nepenthes x McKinlays Sherwood Boot in Sand Suede Size 8, make this little boys dream come true and PLEASE sell them to me.

Yours Truly,
Indigololz
