The Engineered Garments mind-melting marathon

The folks at Engineered Garments design HQ need to calm down on the peyote cigarettes, because our feeble humanoid brains can only handle so much horizon-expanding, cranial-enriching, mind-melting clobber.

From the summer-friendly, radioactive Sunny D hued poplin duffle coat to the New Age Cultist Breton jersey thing, this new stuff is some of the wildest garb weve seen from New Yorks finest and considering were living in crazy times, it fits the bill perfectly.

The New Balance Rainier Boot first smashed down terra firma in 1982.

Pilfering inspiration from the students of Mount Rainier climbing school, who had swapped out bulky hiking boots in favour of nimble running shoes, the Rainier was created to be a bit of a Hovis 50-50 best of both worlds type situation - the ankle protection of a boot, combined with the lightweight fabrics usually found on running shoes.

Now, in 2023, theyre back, and youll be pleased to hear the basic recipe remains unchanged.

If you live in Manchester or anywhere in England for that matter we shouldn't need to tell you why rain jackets are useful andtheres few more deserving of the wet-weather warrior crown than Rains.

Rains keep it simple with some rubberised polyester. Theyre still 100% waterproof, but they bring a nice weather-beaten fishermen trying to roll a cigarette in the middle of the North Sea vibe to landlocked proceedings.

And in case that wasnt enough... Rains make bags too. No more soggy sarnies for you, daddio!
