Bedford Jacket – Navy Animal Print 6.5oz Flat Twill
The Bedford Jacket by Engineered Garments. Skirting the border between a dress jacket and chore coat, this piece combines the best of both. The removable buttons, fastened to the body of the jacket with metal ringlets - initially designed for factory workers who may not have had the time or skill to sew on replacement buttons.
Another sign of the jacket’s utilitarian nature is the top stitching on the yoke front, alongside additional stitching on the jacket front and jacket side front. Commonly found on uniforms and workwear, additional stitches on stress points allows for greater durability - increasing the life of the garment. However, the elegance of the jacket’s silhouette prevents it from being classified wholly on the side of workwear. The peak label and two piece sleeves add sophistication to an otherwise casual garment.
