The Engineered Garments Spring/Summer 2022 collection celebrates a retro aesthetic as the brand turns its attention to the 80s for inspiration. There is a strong influence rooted in African cultures and the wilderness that is built around the brand motive to ultimately bring awareness to the dire need to restore ecosystems.
The standout item in the capsule is the Atlantic Parka designed in a brown hue and made using poly-fiber materials. It is accented all over with a leopard print and complemented perfectly by an Explorer hat in the same design language and patterning with special pocket detail. Additional items in the range include the Combo Short Collar Shirt with African-inspired imagery, the khaki bowling shirt, and the graphic tees.
