    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

    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.
