Show us how you roll in Engineered Garments

So fit question.
If I sized up on this CPO would it be a good fit as a jacket or would I be swimming in it.

I think you should size up.

PS: I happen to be wearing that exact shirt (not the CPO) today.

Ps Just to be clear that’s not me, that’s a image from the web. But it’s the CPO I’m looking at.

Well, that dude should size up.

If you have a 42 inch chest and your garment is 22 inch P2P, you have a total allowance of 2 inch to account for the fabric's thickness and any layer underneath. It's going to fit slim. If you go for something slimmer, it's going to fit skinny.

I have a 40 chest and I prefer my overshirts to have a P2P measurement between 22 and 23.

If that is the homespun from fw14, it runs tts. You don’t need to size up. You can if you want to, but not necessary.

Only 1 piece of EG, but I feel like the overall vibe fits:

Vintage Pendleteon / EG Workaday / Anonymous Ism / Birks

Love everything except those backless Birkenstocks, which are one of the current trends I most hate.

i actually don't remember any more. it was a small shop in NY and they were having a huge sale; i don't think they stock EG any more. they had a logo with a crow on it.

Odin?

Are birkenstock clogs really a current trend? I’ve seen them styled with EG and EG adjacent looks for the past decade.

right, at least in the U.S. I wouldn't call them a trend. They've certainly been an EG staple for years, Daiki is often photographed wearing them as are others on his team. I think they look spot on with a pair of fatigues/fatigue shorts and a t-shirt. super comfy. but def can see how they're not for everyone. a pretty particular look, right!

There are definitely more of them about beyond the confines of EG-land, I would say - there was some discussion of it in the general discussion thread a few months ago.

As a general note, I'm never going to be persuaded of something just because other people do it, even if it's Daiki Suzuki we're talking about. He's not a prophet. I love certain things that EG does, some things not so much, some things they do are just standard Japanese Americana / workwear revivalism, and plenty of things they do are, frankly, boring or bad. Of course it's mostly a matter of personal aesthetics e.g. I really don't like those stupid holster things, and I once got a pair of their chinos in a weird sort-of glossy fabric that was just terrible both visually and in terms of how they felt to wear. But, in the end, I prefer they try things and fail sometimes than be safe...

I was just questioning your use of “current trend”, considering I’ve had the same pair of birkenstocks for about 9 years now. No one is saying that you have to like everything EG does.

i like how birks add visual weight to the bottom of a looser silhouette. also they are very comfy.

Odin?

i think you got it!

 

[Beedub]

A great little store, I think one of my first EG purchases was from there- a pair of cargo pants that are still getting regular wear, I just had to patch up the knee as it had worn through. I don’t know if they still stock EG?

Just a heads up, I'm gonna copy this fit pretty much exactly as soon as it gets warm enough to wear Birks here in Michigan
