* Bruce Pask again has an excellent writeup for the NYTimes on most of the brands I was interested in. Likewise, Khabi on Fashion Buyer UK has also shared his thoughts on what was shown.
* Men’s Mentore had some great coverage with lots of pictures. Oddly the only highlight for me [...]
The folks at Nepenthes have just uploaded the lookbook for the Engineered Garments Spring/Summer 2011 collection, go check it out. In some ways it feels like a developed continuation of the SS09 collection with a focus on subtle palettes.
Highlights for me include the explorer jacket in poplin, the trench in cotton twill, [...]
The first deliveries of the Engineered Garments SS11 collection are now getting to stores in Japan and one of the new designs is the field shirt which has two large inverted pleat pockets – a feature rooted in both older military and hunting gear, depending on where you look.
I would expect that stores [...]
Good rugby shirts are difficult to find in the U.S. and I was glad to see one being sold in the Engineered Garments FW10 collection. Not wanting to pay $160+ for one though, I waited a bit until they hit the sales this month and purchased the navy/grey version for a more reasonable amount. [...]

The guys over at Bureau have posted a short background on the interesting history of the Engineered Garments workshirt:
Daiki took the design from a shirt that originated in the 1920s by Big Yank. He introduced it in spring 2000 in Japan and then started to sell it in the U.S. for Fall 2004. Post Overalls [...]
Now in stock at the Nepenthes NYC store. They note that it’s made in Haverhill, Massachusetts, so I would assume these are being made in the new Southwick factory that is located there. Some of these pieces have showed up in previous seasons, but the retail distribution was very limited.
It was a sunny fall day today, perfect for corduroy.
Shown: An Engineered Garments Bedford jacket paired with a Barbour vest, a J.Crew shirt, and a handkerchief from Drake’s.
The Engineered Garments eight piece newsboy caps have finally shipped out to stores, and are available this season in different leathers and heavy fall fabrics. Outside of Japan I’m not yet sure who is carrying them – I’ll update this post later if I find any.
The new Explorer jackets in the Engineered Garments FW10 collection have shipped out to the few stores that ordered them and I was able to acquire a version in the olive colored ripstop cotton from Blake down in Portland. When I first pulled it out of the box, I was surprised by how heavy [...]

The blanket lined storm parkas from Engineered Garments. The shell is made from a heavy duty ripstop [...]
