The kind folks of Engineered Garments invited me to tour their store that opens later today at 307 W. 38th St. in a space that used to repair sewing machines will now sell their collection as well as Nepenthes and Needles. In fact, the old signage is still there. Not covered or painted over, yet anyhow...
Bossman/Founder of Nepenthes & Needles designer Keizo Shimizu. I need those socks!! 
Hanging the work of Carrie Housman & Darbury Stenderu The show is based on designs they have done for Nepenthes in the past. I know its a sneak preview but Im gonna delve in a lil here. No two of the fourteen fixtures around the store are alike. There is one made of rare pieces of wood, cant remember the name of the wood but the Japanese use it for chessboards. 
favourite shirt. 
Suits insane. Love it. Costumey, yes, but I'm stuck in the 70's in my head. 
Rabbit I think. 
Made from actual Woolrich blanket fabric! 
I know some fellas who'll love this long shirt. Myself included. 
& just a few standard shirts for a more regular kinda guy. In the photo before this, that club collared black striped shirt on the left is so insanely beautiful. 
Mark McNairy for Engineered Garments. Exclusive Shit. 
Leather & Suede! 
Trickers Monks!!!!! 
Old bandannas made into patchwork pocket squares. They have scarves as well! 
South2 West8 
Dressing Room 
Vestibule Jewelry 
Yup, Engineered Garments poncho! 
All the buttons are different, and vintage! 
Lets just say pajamas, or my favorite things in the store. You may call them leggings, I call them longjohns! 
Feel that mohair! 
The crown jewel. So dope. 
More artwork waiting to be hung. Thank you much Angelo. That Nepenthes shirt is fire.
If those monks have drool stains on em are they half price?

replaced a sewing machine repair shop? my singer-loving heart is saddened. but the long shirt does look good (especially with that outfit), i will concede. and i saw a stripe-y cotton shirt in the back of one of your pics that i'm in the mood for...
