ENGINEERED GARMENTS Explorer Shirt Jacket – Brown Leopard: The Engineered Garments Explorer Shirt Jacket is a direct reflection of deep affection for expeditionary garments, an amalgamation of pieces from heritage American brands like Abercrombie and Fitch, Woolrich, and Willis & Geiger Outfitters. Great importance is placed on the shirt jacket silhouette. The sides are punched out, in order to be easier to layer on top of a shirt, but is compact enough to fit under a coat – a stroke of genius adaptability.
Every inch of this item is carefully considered. Daiki chose to use an open collar, complete with front placket, for a traditional feel. (There are two ways to make a shirt jacket, with or without a stand collar, which will dictate if the shirt features a placket.) Open collar shirts don’t generally have a placket on the sleeve, but this one does, a nod to Pendleton’s Board Shirt. The buttons on the shirt sleeve are a bit larger than the buttons on the body, to emphasise its identity as a jacket first. The bi-swing back allows for better ease of movement, and the collar tab gives a signature Engineered Garments flair.
Two slash pockets, three 3-D flap pockets, and two smaller 3-D flap pockets populate the front of the jacket, in addition to the left sleeve and two back pockets. The smaller twin pockets on the front invoke the garment’s versatility – holding a cameraman’s film canister, a motorist’s sunglasses, or a fisherman’s lure.
