Engineered Garments hand down more spring and summer goods for our enjoyment. The “Andover” is a continuing style season to season; this version is a lightweight cotton and while it is a smarter piece in cut, it is also the kind of jacket you could roll up and crease out without too many worries. A crumple here and there just suggests you live an exciting life and have neither the time nor inclination to iron.

If plaid is a little too Ivy for your liking there’s also an excellent polka dot version which also receives our seal of approval. More at Nepenthes.

McNairy? McNasty? McNostradamus? McNasEscobar? Whatever you want to call him, his latest collab with Engineered Garments has just fell into Tres Bien. While we appreciate the wilder shoes at times, we do appreciate a shoe that can be worn in an office environment without raising too many eyebrows. Even the fact that the two shoes are different is a subtle detail you won’t notice until you stare intensely at them. And that’s something you can’t really do in everyday life, so we doubt anyone would notice at all. (Tres Bien)

We featured the seersucker trousers a couple of weeks back, so we felt it only natural to feature the jacket. Obviously you can do the seersucker suit thing, but we’d rather do the mix and match thing. You know, sprezzy and all that. You could wear it ivy style, but that’s not fashionable no more, you dig? It’s a shame that ‘timeless’ style lasts two years in the world of fashion style but it is what it is. (The Bureau)
