"...has chosen to meld Inventory’s bespoke tailoring with his own daily wardrobe staple: T-shirts. The result is nothing short of cool. The soft, cotton jersey bodice with sleeves is constructed in Inventory’s timeless style through an exposed seam technique that embodies Chan’s “perfect imperfection” motto."
– Joy Ling, Writer

"...in contrast to some of his louder, sensory-smashing works, the collaborative ‘Theseus’ shirt seeks a more subtle approach – one that is clean and simple, yet relishes imperfection... The shirt fuses the torso of a T-shirt with the sleeves of a dress-shirt, finding a Frankenstein-like middle-ground between casual comfort and sartorial purpose."

"For bespoke classics with a twist: A pair of jeans with Gurkha-style side buckles that eliminate the need for a belt. An update of the early 20th-century jacket worn by French blue-collar workers. One-off shirt collaborations with local creatives such as graphic designers Lydia Yang and Yah-Leng Yu of branding agency Foreign Policy Design. A dream of more than a decade by its founders, sisters Amanda and Olivia Lin, “Inventory Co. creates good, instead of new, items that are well cut and made”, says Olivia, 29, creative director and the older Lin, who used to work for Singapore Tyler Print Institute. Amanda, 27, was formerly from graphic design outfit Ffurious and is Inventory Co.’s MD. “Military uniforms and vintage work wear – functional and aesthetically pleasing – are what inspire us,” they say. “We want clothes that can be worn every day, that are free of unnecessary embellishments, and made to your measurements.”

"When two local brands team up, it's bound to get us a little excited. Enter the capsule collection by INVENTORY and The Authority, tailored to meet the needs of the modern man. With every piece available only on a made–to–measure basis, expect a minimalist design approach by the latter, with a focus on balanced proportions and premium fabrics. Unlined bomber jackets and overshirts make for outerwear that is light enough foe our weather, yet smart enough for the boardroom. Meanwhile, the clean lines of a double–placket shirt and the use of denim in the form of a pair of tailored pants (albeit with an upturned, distressed hem) is just the thing for a casual weekend with the homies."

"Reactionary to our mass-produced, fast-fashion times, the Lin sisters capture perfectly the metaphor “rushing standstill” that French philosopher Paul Virilio coined. He spoke of speed and inertia—that speed is futile, and velocity will always return you to the starting line. They are the epitome to how commerciality should run after creativity, and not the other way around."

"For hand-sewn menswear with a modern punk edge, look no further than new Singapore outfit, Inventory. Let's cut to the chase: Make an appointment to visit brand-spanking new Singapore label, Inventory, now. I have a thing for menswear tailoring. And I love a good local label. So when these two worlds collide, my interest is automatically piqued. But bolster this with savvy design details – think: traditional Gurkha-style waistbands on trousers, and modern rock aesthetics by way of zips and dull-nickel hardware – then I'm all ears."
