Engineered Garments SS14

Engineered Garments is another Daiki Suzuki vehicle. Established in the late 90's the label is Suzuki's main production and the creative outlet for his designs.

Unlike Woolrich Wollen Mills, here he has the freedom to establish his own quirks. The designs are set to add simple tweeks to well established vintage sportswear and hunting silhouettes making them modern and adaptable to today's uses.

Below are the coming summers offerings with some interesting patterns and some nice indigo washes.

Nanamica x Clarks

Collaborative partnerships are driving the menswear market and many British brands are directly benefiting from the current trend.

Wallabees have been a staple of Clarks productions since the early 1960's, developed from a traditional moccasin they are a familiar silhouette instantly recognisable. Whilst their classic design has never completely fallen out of favour now (thanks to Walter White's character in Breaking Bad), like with the Hip-Hop generation of the nineties (thanks in most part to Ghostface Killah), they are enjoying a bit of a revival.

This effort in partnership with Nanamica is Gore-Tex re-enforced in the areas that typically see the most wear to ensure a long lease of life and sports a red brick Vibram sole for comfort:
