Founded in 1999, Engineered Garments has become a cult label among fashion purists seeking contemporary utilitarian staples. Manufactured in New York’s garment district under the skillful guidance of Japan-born designer Daiki Suzuki, the brand pays homage to East Coast prep, hardy workwear, and vintage military gear in its cohesive wardrobe of everyday garments. Suzuki’s seminal designs—often recurring with seasonal updates—are imparted with an easy poise, exhibiting the elemental functionality stitched into the core of the brand’s aesthetic. Slightly slouched tailoring elevates bomber jackets and cargo pants cut in thoughtfully selected fabrics, like durable cotton ripstop or 14-wale corduroy. One season at a time, Engineered Garments and its quintessentially New York uniform are writing fashion history.
