Engineered Garments cotton military/work pants, made in USA, size 32 (fits 31”)

Engineered Garments pants for sale here. Engineered Garments, designed by Daiki Suzuki and under the umbrella of Japanese company Nepenthes, manufactures their products exclusively in the United States, and almost entirely in New York City. Part of their design ethos is utilize some of the high quality materials and services available in the city and keep their factories going. One of their other main ideals is to update classic workwear pieces with a more modern approach. That’s often manifested in high quality materials, and sometimes more fashion-forward designs as well.

In this case we have a pair of pants in a somewhat slimmer silhouette than we typically see from EG. This piece comes from one of the more recent EG collections given the tags it has, although it is more at-odds with EG’s recent forays into extremely relaxed silhouettes. These pants are more of a straight leg fit, a bit slim in execution. Fabric is 100% cotton done in a blueish-purple dye. One of the more interesting characteristics of this coloring is that it has started to pleasantly fade toward the top block, and it should continue to develop with wear. This is part of the process and to be expected, although it is very rare for EG to actually age their own pieces. You usually have to put in the work yourself.

Aside from the material and dye, the main twist on the design is the incorporation of an additional pocket on the left leg. This definitely serves to set the pants apart from the pack and is also highly practical. All pockets are also reinforced on the interior. Waistband is also reinforced on the interior in a black cotton canvas, using the same material as the pockets. This is a timeless design, one that will work with pretty much everything, that can be worn year-round, and has just enough of a twist to keep it interesting. These pants retailed at about $300, but get them here much more reasonably.

Size is labeled a 32 and fits a bit slim. I measure the waist at 31”, inseam at 28”, rise at 11” and opening at the bottom of the leg at 7.25. The pants come in lightly used, very good shape with no holes, tears or stains. Made in USA.

Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $30.
