Engineered Garments FW 14

[ManofKent]



p2p is normally approximately 53 cm. I am M in Junya Watanabe and 50 in Rick Owens.

I'd have thought a medium would suit. The Bureau Belfast has pretty accurate measurements and carries the widest range of EG for checking.

 

[canstyleace]

yeah, depending on arm length and desired fit, you could probably go m or l

Thanks MOK and canstyleace.

So after a bit of patience and trust I can safely vouch for www.thecorridorstore.com Theyre brand new and not the easiest to communicate with but they took care of me and I'm happy.
Had to send my hb Ghurkas back for a smaller size and they paid shipping both ways which was nice.

But now my question is, how do I tailor these? Just right to the top of the shoe? I'm guessing you wouldn't want to roll these up. My pic has them tucked under. There's about 4" of play.

Any suggestions helpful as I'm bringing them to the tailor soon.

Thanks.

Alexander, since you are here - how did you size your Beford Jacket? I really liked your fit pic in waywt. Wanna make sure that my fit won't be something like this:

 

[AlexanderTG]

I went with a medium and I like the fit a lot. Roomy but not billowy. Had to have the sleeves shortened from the shoulder which was a chunk of change ($90, but cost me $70 due to miscommunication about the sleeve lining).

Just for kicks I tried on a small from last season (I realize seasons change but still) at Drinkwater's last week just to see if I would have been happier. It definitely would have resembled the above fit. I could button it but it definitely wasn't flattering. Happy I went with a med.

Good luck.

alexander, i just gave mine a couple of rolls and like them like that, but theyre olive twill, i guess the hb fabric is bulkier. not sure i would go to top of the shoe though, i think some kind of cuff looks nice with EG

 

[AlexanderTG]

Thanks. Yeah, I'm so torn. Cuffs generally don't work with my short stature.

Edit: TBB has the one turn up cuff. I kind of like that.

On that pic, here is my Ghurka experiment, part II.

Verdict: Screw the ghurka, not a good fit for me.

• Sizing up to a 36 was way to big. I literally swam in it with an enormous top bloc that was completely out of proportion on me
• 34 is too tight for my liking. While the thigh right at the seam is generally manageable (12" at least on a 34, 13" on a 36), the taper is so aggressive that it stops working from last third of thigh on down - Bummer
• The brown homespun fabric might contribute to the effect as it is very substantial (Way more so compared to the brown HB pants I got)
• FYI, in pics below, my left leg (To the right in the pic) shows about 1" cuffed to the insight, other leg shows true inseam

Welcome me on the band wagon of complaining about too tight EG pants

. One more series left in the experiment: On to the Truman (Thigh might be ok, taper scares me again).

P.S. Alex, I think the Ghurka looks best with no roll or simply one roll as in the TBB pic, given the taper and given the heavy fabric.

I think those Truman pants look really good on you @mbaum . Maybe it's just because I have chicken legs, but I love how slim the pants are now.

 

[eluther]



I'm going to argue and say these look really good. Also, I wore that shirt today, too.

 

[ThomSquared]

I'm with everybody else... I really like that slim fit in the pictures.

Does anyone know the weight of the denim in the Work Shirt-Denim Shirting-Indigo? Thanks!

If anyone's interested in the FW14 fatigue pants in olive Steven Alan has them 20% off until 10/10 with code oct20. Looks to be all sizes from 30 - 36.

Doesn't look like this applies to the Bedford or B2B jacket - two I've been looking at the whole season. Shame!
