Engineered Garments

Engineered Garments Jacket at Start LondonWe love Engineered Garments for many reasons. Not only are they one of the most directional menswear brands today, providing a low key fashion forward vibe but we can also see how much effort and thought has gone into each piece. Inspired by American sportswear while growing up in Japan, designer Daiki Suzuki became intrigued with the idea of flaws and weaknesses in the whole production and manufacturing process.

“Those clothes have a natural, post modernist and deconstructive quality about them," says Suzuki. "If a button falls off you sew another one on but it probably won’t match and this makes it uniquely yours. When you find a garment that you love to wear it survives with you in its own way and becomes a second skin. It is these clothes which I want to make, clothes that you love wearing and become yours through the experience you have with them.”

Our picks at Start are the navy Norfolk belted military jacket and the green cordoruy Bedford jacket, both exemplifying the clean lines and attention to detail that have made the label so sought after.
