A quick stop in London on the way to Pitti Uomo allowed for us to see the Margaret Howell Fall-Winter '13 presentation. As usual there were plenty of greys, blues and blacks featured through beautiful jackets, trousers and knitwear. The few colour additions came in olive, beige and burgundy, while the clothing was nicely accented by simple accessories and chunky leather shoes.

—01. Red / Navy Viyella Plaid.

Words

The Dayton shirt might not be one of Engineered Garments most popular styles, but its one that's been growing on me lately. The collar, simple patch pockets and shirt / jacket aesthetic all seem to work well together. It's come in a few plain colour options in the past, but this plaid fall version is a very good piece, especially on sale.
