WTF, Engineered Garments F/W 2010

Words can not accurately describe how confused I am by the following photos.

Is this what people wore camping in the 1930's? Were they also ninjas? What the hell would you even put in that backpack?

I never really understood the popularity of Engineered Garments. Quality and construction are one thing, but most of their clothing just looks ill-fitting or just plain weird.

APC F/W 2010

APC is well known for their minimalist design, with attention to detail and fit. It seems like their slim, streamlined look isn't going anywhere either. Below, find a few choice line-ups from their upcoming collection for next fall. It looks like work boots, cropped jackets, chukka boots, and the overall preppy aesthetic will be continuing into next year, and I couldn't be happier. I could definitely see picking up those slim chinos, white kicks, and wool overcoat.

Everything looks good, but I do have to question their model choices. One looks like he's twelve, the other looks like a pissed-off crossover between Michael Cera and Elijah Wood.

Gant-Rugger Fall/Winter 2010

Wow. So, work has been busy and I totally missed an opportunity to blog this while it was still breaking. Either way, here are some choice items from Gant-Rugger's Fall/Winter 2010 collection. It may seem that I tout these guys on the regular, but I really can't help it. Their pieces have been consistently good and they have an amazing grasp on preppy, yet rugged menswear.

I mean, look at this first fit. It's like someone mixed one of the more badass preppy characters from The Outsiders and a skinhead. It's fucking perfect.

And this jacket looks like something I would wear to Wes Anderson's house for dinner.
