Collection: Red Wing x Engineered Garments
Engineered Garments (EG) was founded in New York in 1999 by Daiki Suzuki, who drew inspiration from his years as a buyer for the early Nepenthes stores and combined it with his own vision.
As a brand, our goal is to create garments that become more personal through the experiences you have with them. We value unique craftsmanship with attention to detail—each design has meaning and hidden qualities.
We navigate between contradictory themes and deviate from the idea of "perfect design." Our pieces are not designed, but constructed.
When the Red Wing Heritage design team sat down with Daiki Suzuki, they shared a passion for design, quality, and unique materials. Daiki had always wanted to work on a Red Wing classic, and it was the rebirth of the Oxford Moc Toe, "The Shop Moc," that piqued his interest.
Working with different leathers and adding storm-welt construction to the moc toe, the EG Shop Moc was born. The Shop Moc Oxford traces its roots back to style #895, which first appeared in the Red Wing Shoe catalog in 1954—just two years after the release of the iconic 8-inch Classic Moc. Today, the Shop Moc Oxford draws inspiration from that style and its legendary, higher-cut siblings. This limited-edition collection features storm-welt construction, Puritan triple-stitching, a Traction Tred outsole, and a leather insole with added heel cushion for comfort.

Iron Ranger History
THE IRON RANGER draws inspiration from the archival silhouette originally introduced in 1937. Crafted for iron miners in the Mesabi Iron Range of Minnesota, the 6-inch boot included an added layer of leather across the toe to protect feet from falling rocks and rugged terrain. Speed hooks offered fast lacing for easy on and off. The leather insole provided comfort once uniquely formed to the foot over time.
Moc Toe History
FIRST INTRODUCED IN 1952, the 877 8-inch Classic Moc was designed for sportspeople in mind; earning the name “Irish Setter” from the unique russet leather color that matched the coat of a hunter’s companion. The tall height protected ankles against wooded areas and the cushioned outsole softened noise on every step.
