ON & BEYOND

I’ve been seeing a lot of Herringbone weave patterns in the last couple of seasons. It’s one of those things, that make a garment noteworthy, kind of like…”premium” leather on Nike’s or Elk leather on youknowwhat‘s.

This here, is a workshirt from Engineered Garments’ Spring2010 Collection. I’ve been eager to get on my spring/summer rotation, so a white button-down and high-water chinos have been on the immediate list. Now you’re saying, “a white shirt for the summer…a linen shirt?”. I don’t like linen because it reminds me of a corny Caribbean resort…and Jay-Z’s Hustlin’ Remix (love that track). So this 100% cotton workshirt is a good lightweight solution!

While the harsh salted snow doesn’t allow us Canadians to wear coke whites all year round, my 875′s aren’t affected by the same predicament. Like a pair of 24 oz. Sammies, the built-to-last RW875′s only get better with time and distress. I’ve posted a few of my beat up footwear, but these 1 year old workboots take the cake. Feel free to send me photos of YOUR beat up beauties, and i’ll try to round em all up in a future post!
