A relaxed take on the shawl collar cardigan from Daiki Suzuki’s Engineered Garments, the kind of thing you throw on for a chilly Spring/Summer day. A subtle fairisle in marl grey and white, EG manages to present the pattern in a non-wintery way avoiding any ‘Dad at Christmas’ pointing and staring. A light cotton and linen mix put together in NYC, the perfect cardigan/jacket compromise. Find it here.

A four part story, Nepenthes showcases its impressive line in an editorial entitled Aaron. Floral shirts, they just refuse to go away, this is Nepenthes NY Special from Engineered Garments Workaday is a particularly fine example. Paired with a Needles casual blazer, S2W8 shorts in an awesome shade of lilac and some heavy Birkenstock action, this is an outfit to admire.

We could be off by a mile, but we doubt that many men interested in blue cotton cordlane are also interested in firearms. Even if we are right, that does not mean you should pass on a statement piece like this shooting jacket from Engineered Garments. We dig the light contrast between the airy blue cotton and the tan pocket accents and shoulder guard. Those pockets look thirsty for shotgun shells, but we could just as easily load them up with pretzel rods and cheese sticks.

Side note: cordlane should not be confused with Coeur d’Alene, a lovely lakeside township in Idaho that would actually be a good place to give this jacket a proper workout. Mohawk has it.

Engineered Garments Spring/Summer 2012 Collection gets all psychedelic and weird and Roxy Music-ish in this lookbook put together by Harry’s, no strangers to getting trippy. Backgrounds meld into foregrounds meld into clothing and everything just feels right with Bryan Ferry crooning in the background. Take a look. Go on.

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.

If you’re after for a little something condiment inspired then look no further then this Colman’s mustard coloured chore coat, a collaboration between Engineered Garments and Post o’alls. A pretty decent pairing, right? Originally designed to celebrate the opening of the Post o’alls flagship store in Tokyo store, it features “alternating logo-engraved  tack buttons, tonal and contrasting triple-needle topstitching and Sunforger fabric.”
