ENGINEERED GARMENTS x WILLIAM FOX & SONS | MULTI PATCHWORK BAKER JACKET x PATCHWORK BELLOWS JACKET … IS THIS A COPY ACCIDENT?

30 minutes ago i got a newsletter from PRESENT LONDON: 15% off – outerwear – code XX. on the screen i saw a jacket which i really good know because last year i was thinking maybe to buy this one. this jacket from the newsletter looks nearly 100% as the ENGINEERED GARMENTS from SS2013. is this a sale? okay, when i checked the page i saw that it is WILLIAM FOX & SONS PATCHWORK BELLOWS JACKET from the actual SS2014 collection. okay?! so searched the EG jacket from SS2013. knowing that EG has a wonderful organized collection archive at their web page i found it in a minute. damn these two jackets look so similar. is there even a business connection between EG and WF&S? you know something about? pics | Present London, Engineered Garments, blog fashionbeans.com

ENGINEERED GARMENTS WOMEN COLLECTION SS2013

as you know, ENGINEERED GARMENTS is one of my absolute favorite labels. but i always just be aware of the men’s collections all the years, i did not know that they do a not so small collection for women too. and the best is that there are some pieces which are done for men and for women. great to see – so my beloved anchor jacket is available for both. very nice collection! pics | © Engineered Garments

NAVY ANCHOR PRINTED OXFORD TRUMAN VEST by ENGINEERED GARMENTS

LIFE TIME GEAR @ VOLLS

yesterday morning i visited my buddy KLAUS, owner of VOLLS shop, darmstadt, germany, and volls.de. it is always nice to have a change in an exhausting working week, even it is only about an hour. speaking about local news, upcoming collections and checking some stuff arrived the last days. one of my actual new favorites KLAUS got these days: MERZ B. SCHWANEN. really great stuff – you feel the passion and heritage the makers put in the pieces when you touch it, see it and feel it by wearing. and beside me my wife loves it, too. another highlight yesterday where some extraordinary pieces from EDWIN OVERWORKING. pretty nice and extremely exclusive but damn expensive. KLAUS is heavy working on his online shop update for S/S 2012 while is waiting for more new stuff to come from ENGINEERED GARMENTS, POST OVERALLS, ALDEN, and and and. what a pitty, half an hour later when i left KLAUS the new LEVIS VINTAGE CLOTHING stuff arrived. yep, another reason to come back soon next week. i will keep you updated for the online shop update. pics | LTG
