From the people
5 star experience all over. The shop carries a carefully curated selection of Japanese and European brands.
Great quality garments, interesting brands, and super friendly and knowledgeable owners. My new favorite store in Amsterdam.
Brilliant menswear-focused shop in the heart of the city. A carefully curated, thoughtful selection of brands that you can’t find anywhere else in Amsterdam/the Netherlands. Absolutely top notch.

Styling Our Pieces for Everyone
Hey, all, Leah here. I wear a lot of pieces from the shop not just because I enjoy their design, but also because I enjoy the creativity that comes from having a broader range of garments and design details to choose from. I also believe that when we choose our outfits we shouldn't be hemmed in (no pun intended) by who garments are designed for. For instance, I appreciate the classic silhouettes, natural fibers, and historic references you find in menswear but that are often absent from women's wear. Above all, the most important things are staying true to your style, having things fit the way you want them to (not just the way they're "supposed to"), and embracing the vibe you're going for. To celebrate this idea, we invited our good friend Victoria, an Amsterdam-based blogger and creative, to show off just how well so many pieces from the shop work on everyone.
A Shop Update from Alejandro + Leah
A bit of personal news from us today. We have made the difficult decision to close Tempest Works at the end of March.
Introducing Engineered Garments x Paraboot
For this FW23 season, Daiki Suzuki and Paraboot continue the story. Based on the Galibier outdoor brand's classic Avoriaz mountain boots, Daiki Suzuki has imagined a shoe with six D-rings, three on each side, staggered so that the laces form a complex but intentional design. Together with the Norwegian zigzag welt and lug sole, which are part of Paraboot's DNA, this design combines a sophisticated look that goes beyond casual wear and can work with dressier outfits.
