Show us how you roll in Engineered Garments

TBB lookbooks were fantastic. Their 2017-2019 EG lookbooks rivaled EG's own, at least for me.

Honestly, I think they were much better at showing how you can wear & layer EG without getting a bit whacky like some of the official EG look books.

Is The Bureau Belfast less active or popular than they used to be? Their stock seems smaller these days. They stopped doing fit pics. And I think they have less collabs too.

I’m from Belfast, now living in London, but would be friendly with Gareth and Richie who both worked at The Bureau since I started shopping there back in 2006/7. They were heavily involved in developing the online store, doing a lot of the styling and fit pics ect. However, they left a few years back and opened up their own store

However, they left a few years back and started their own brand “Never Never” with a physical and online store selling more urban/street brands like Beams, Goopimade, Liberaiders ect.

I’m guessing both of The Bureau founders who now run the store never really replaced them when they left and this is why we don’t see as much as activity. It still is and always will be one the best menswear stockists though in my opinion.

Is a guy named Paul one of the owners?

Is a guy named Paul the new owner?

Paul is one of the Co-Founders. He’s opened a smaller ‘Research’ store in Belfast’s Hill St called “The Bureau Hill St”, funnily enough . You can find it on Instagram and I think he is mostly there all of the time while the other founder heads up The Bureau.

I was there last weekend for the first time as I’m back for Christmas. Some lovely garments for sure.

I would do a M. They fit oversized (I think M has a p2p about 23-23.5). But when you size down you risk it being too small in the shoulder and too short. With a lot of EG stuff you're better not sizing down and wearing it like how it was made.

I actually sent a M to @Ken P to consign. You can reach out to him!

SS23 items popping up, at least at Nepenthes Japan


Also, looks like Daiki or someone from EG or Nepenthes is testing a new womenswear label, called "Blank Label"


And a small hint at what's to come for FW23

I hope FW23 isn't as disappointing as FW22.

 

[coooaaat]

I have mixed feelings about FW22. Not much in the way of “memorable” pieces but I’ve bought so many basics (work shirts, cagoule, fatigues) that I think I have more FW22 than any other season. Super wearable stuff.

Interliner arrived and I dig it. my big head fits fine. i think the crop is a little less severe than in previous seasons, or at least it looks that way

Looks like they went back to the original design of the explorer shirt 👍

 

[blackcheer]

Glad to see it's back! I'm a big fan of the design, both aesthetically and functionally

What about FW22 do you find disappointing?

I like the season's colour palette, as I mostly wear darker colours. I also like a lot of the materials, especially the moleskin, as I live in a colder climate. I'm not a fan of the changes made to the explorer shirt. But I'm a big fan of the latest variation of the overalls. I also like that there are wool sweaters this season, although I prefer them from other brands.

The theme is cheesy imo, but at least not cringe like SS22 (with pith helmets in the lookbook). Even as someone who lives in a seafaring community doused with lighthouses, I can't see myself wearing the lighthouse pattern or the other nautical ones. There's something off about them, for me at least, although I haven't put my finger on it.

I hope FW23 isn't as disappointing as FW22.

Based on that one image, which looks like an amalgamation of drawings already in the EG world, FW23 might be another woodland themed season, which I'm into. I hope that it's less thematic than FW22 and more focused on fabric and pattern, sorta like this upcoming SS23 season.

I hope FW23 isn't as disappointing as FW22.

Maybe I didn't phrase it that well. There are some nice fabrics (love moleskin, which was absent for a while from EG) but compared to previous FW seasons, I felt like it was much weaker. The move towards poly wools the past few years has been a bit disappointing too.
