Engineered Garments shirt 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 to utilize some of the high quality materials and services available in the city and to keep their factories going. EG started before the current minor resurgence of American-made products and really continues to push things forward. 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 woven cotton shirt, done in a medium-light weight fabric. The main detail for the shirt is definitely the fabric, where we have what seems to me to be a 1960s inspired paisley print. EG sometimes incorporate prints rather than just plaids or solids, mixing up their usual staple of influences.
Aside from the print, design is maybe a bit more straightforward than some of EG’s output. It is a pretty standard button down shirt silhouette, cut a bit looser than a standard medium in my opinion. This shirt is from one of their more recent collections, retailed at about $300, and is now long gone. Get it here while you can at a fraction of the price.
Size is labeled a medium and fits a bit loose in my opinion – it’s meant to be a bit baggy rather than slim fitting. I measure the chest at 22”, shoulders at 18”, length at 28” in front and 29” in back, both from the base of the neck, and sleeves at 24” from the shoulder. The shirt comes in lightly used, very good shape. Collar and cuffs appear to have some fading, although I am not sure if this is intentional or due to wear and washing. Otherwise no holes, tears or stains. Made in USA.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $24.
