J. Crew x Engineered Garments: A Collaboration of New York City, New England, and Japanese Craftsmanship
Under the direction of Brendon Babenzien, J. Crew has been on a collaborative streak. Since joining the team in 2021, the heritage menswear label has partnered with streetwear brands like BEAMS PLUS and UNION LA to push the boundaries of its traditional style codes. Now, the brand is teaming up with Daiki Suzuki’s Engineered Garments for a new release that combines the essence of New York City and New England with Japanese craftsmanship.
A Fusion of Vintage Workwear, Ivy League Classics, and Functional Outerwear
The capsule collection features a range of garments, including vintage workwear, Ivy League classics, and functional outerwear. Each piece, in true Engineered Garments fashion, is designed with tactical features throughout its silhouette.
The Standout Piece: Navy-Blue Corduroy Suit Jacket and Matching Pants
The standout piece in the collection is the navy-blue corduroy suit jacket and its matching pants. The jacket has a relaxed yet sophisticated fit and features patch pockets made from premium cotton corduroy. The single reverse pleated pants are also crafted from the same material.
Functional Outerwear with Military-Inspired Details
The collection also includes a military-inspired parka jacket with a heavy-duty design and functional details. These include a two-way zipper with a snap placket, hidden Velcro-closure pockets, an adjustable hood, and zippered underarm vents.
A Variety of Pant Silhouettes
The collection offers a variety of pant silhouettes, including relaxed-fit cargos with Engineered Garments’ signature pocket placements and double-pleated chinos with an Americana vibe.
