What to know about Engineered Garments
Engineered Garments is the menswear label Daiki Suzuki founded in New York in 1999 under Japanese distributor Nepenthes, where he remains designer. Suzuki reworks American workwear, military and outdoor patterns with off-kilter construction: asymmetric pockets, mixed fabrics within one garment, and loose, layered proportions. Recurring styles include the Bedford and Andover jackets, Fatigue and Ground pants, and Explorer shirt jackets, alongside the cheaper Workaday diffusion line. Collections show seasonally in New York and Paris, with recurring footwear and outerwear collaborations including Vans, Danner and Barbour.

How Engineered Garments fits
Overall fit
runs large
Engineered Garments is widely described as cutting roomy, boxy garments with a lot of volume, so shoppers who normally wear a medium frequently end up in a small (or even XS) across shirts, jackets and outerwear.
Tip: Most people size down one from their usual size unless they specifically want the intentionally oversized, layered look.
