Way too expensive for your first pair, I'd start with some miltary surplus type stuff. I have some Tru-spec cargos that I got tailored from five or so years ago and they're one of my favorite items in my wardrobe and most versatile (can get fits off with them and they've been through everything from two weeks hitchhiking in Iceland to labor). I got WIP cargos last year and like these way better. Got some Propper BDUs recently so I'll let you know how I'm liking those once I get to try them on, but maybe take a look at those too. I don't like most D***ies but love D***ies Painters and those can be had for 20 dollars.
My favorite brand for pants in general is Stan Ray and their stuff is fantastic quality wise and can be had way cheaper than WIP so I'd look at some of their painters and fatigues as well. Retail isn't too far from WIP but I've gotten all my pairs on sale and there are some in sale here: https://us.urbanexcess.com/collections/stan-ray

No problem and to add on - I know they get associated with an oversaturation of colored camo but Rothco is great for starting out too
Got some Rotcho tiger camo bdus from eBay for 30 2+ years ago and they're some of my all time favorite pants
I’m on the same boat as you 😠was hoping someone could put me on. Recently saw someone wearing one of the jackets on ig and it looked nice
I was out in San Fran a few months ago and I saw two workwear stores with hella Ben Davis stuff. Jackets looked nice

Yeah they seem like a sick brand but one of my homies ordered a couple things from them recently and said the quality was pretty hit or miss
Anyone know how sizing and quality is on propper pants?
Got some coming in a day or two, I'll let you know how I like em later this week

@Jjjjesse @mythic_ @proper @Celebghost
EG beams most likely a Japan exclusive. I cop workwear brands (EG, Orslow, Real McCoys etc.) , from stores like... blue button shop, lost &found shop, blue owl shop, canoe club, snake oil provisions, Otis shop
What you grab??
pants. tbh I need more outerwear/tops but I’m always most attracted to pants and shoes.

it really depends what aspect of EG you f*** with, every store will order different stock depending on their aesthetic

Damn, never thought about it this way but I do be seeing different styles/pieces for those different styles from EG
what are the major categories/breakdowns for you?
honestly, the beams collab and seeing those pants @rekuso_ and @HXNS got me like :mercy for some of their pants too
It's hard to break it down totally, as there's a lot of overlap between aesthetics. It's all kind of blended together, which is really what makes Engineered Garments so interesting. For what it's worth, I see it as; streetwear, and tailoring.
