Expansion x ENGINEERED GARMENTS "T-SHIRTS"

AUGUT 2015

REVISIT THE ART OF SAMPLING

Think of the quintessential Hip-Hop sound: sampling; pulling bits and pieces from sounds that already exist and creating something fresh. Inspired by this dated art form, Expansion has teamed up with Engineered Garments to produce a beautiful tee inspired by the latter brand’s revered Cross Crew Neck t-shirt. Expansion taps Engineered Garments for their font and Cross Crew Neck pattern, laying both atop a tee produced in Pennsylvania from original fabric sourced from North Carolina.
