Story & heritage
Bode launched in 2016 with garments composed of antique textiles, and quilting quickly became the house shorthand for preservation, storytelling, and American workwear. The official White House Steps jacket ties that vocabulary to a late-19th-century quilt block related to Log Cabin construction.
Editorial coverage has treated Bode quilted garments as the brand's most recognizable idea: vintage quilts and textile fragments reworked into collectible jackets, shirts, and trousers rather than anonymous outerwear.
Materials & craft
The White House Steps jacket is reversible, cut in 100% cotton, and finished with five front buttons plus utility pockets. Bode notes that the original textile's wear, mending, and irregularities remain part of the garment's character.
Across the line, the craft appeal is the visible geometry: Log Cabin blocks, calico backs, hand-me-down surface texture, and simple workwear shapes that let the textile lead.
How to choose & style
Choose the quilt jacket by color story first: saturated patchwork reads like the outfit, while a quieter Log Cabin palette works as a soft blazer over denim or tailored trousers.
The strongest styling keeps the rest plain—white tee, oxford shirt, washed jeans, or dark wool trousers—so the provenance-heavy surface does the storytelling.
